Oh, I forgot to post my cardio from this morning.

I did 12 minutes of HIIT on the stationary bike.
Started with 2 minute warmup.
Then 8 minutes of 30/30 at 70 rpm/100 rpm.
Then 2 minute cooldown.

Archie-Oh I've always enjoyed it. I used to do it back in the day before it became popular.

Well last night's cardio was a lot of fun. I did 60 minutes of.........ping pong! Hey, you get a workout in that game, especially when you're getting your butt kicked like I was and chasing the ball all over the place.

And then there was my back workout also.

Pullups:
reps of 10, 8, 6, 5, +2 neg
--the last set, I was going for 6, but settled for the negatives.

V-handle cable rows:
8 reps, 135#
8 reps, 135#
--changing it up again here. Really had to push through these.

Wide grip pulldowns:
6 reps, 150#
7 reps, 150#
--don't ask why I did more the 2nd set. I'm weird like that sometimes.

Straight arm cable pulldowns:
8 reps, 75#
8 reps, 75#
--Always a great way to finish your workout, IMO.

Pretty good workout. Had issues during pullups, as a guy was using one of the low pulleys w/ a bench to do cable leg curls He was in my way of where the pullup bar is set. I would have given him static, but I know he does DLs and Squats also, so it's not like he doesn't do the "real" leg exercises.

It's been a work in progress. Plus my back has always been pretty strong, due to a lot of back work from my career choices. Thanks!

Wow, that is a lot of pullups. I'm starting to like you less. (But I do like the new tag and avi.)

How about defending the world from bad guys? Isn't that enough?

Nah, that's too easy. Pullups are harder.

Oh, that was not a violent response. But the answer to your question is about 1 week. Not allowed to say for sure, due to security reasons.

I never give bad info on the military. This is not a hard life to lead, IMO. But pullups, now they can be quite the opposite. True Story

Just dropping a line to let you know I will be out of pocket this week. With all the travelling, I might not be around. I will post as soon as I can again. Take care!
