I had three full bottles in one day.

Plus I gave one to the cop that gave me a speeding ticket.

I did, B. It's run watching the kids open their present.

Well, I was going to workout today, to test some PRs, but such was not to be.

I went sledding in the morning. At one point, I was launched from the sled, doing 20MPH, and landed squarely on my right should, and the back of my neck, on the iced ramp. With is a lot like hitting concrete: zero give.

I decided to rest up today and give it a go tomorrow.

Pylon · 12-26-2007, 09:46 PM

I've had a similar landing in the past. No fun at all. Hope everything is still in place.

22"? Sweet!

Hey buddy. How are ya?

Testing

Well, after a move induced hiatus of almost a month, I'm checking my PRs to see how I'm doing.

Oh, and in addition to the nasty landing while sleding, I also fractured the metacarpal bone of my left ring finger.

This sort of shit happens to me all the time. Climbing a tree (age 12)? Fell 15 feet right into a coma. Biking on the sidewalk (age 16)? Hit by a car. Swimming off Venice Beach (age 21)? Almost drowned in a riptide right in front of a lifeguard. Hiking in the mountains (age 30)? Caught in a rock avalanche. For me, recreation always involves a recovery period.

Yay...

Apparently, I also did something to my left hip. I can feel a slight pain there when I squat with weight. Oh, well...

On to better things, I hit a PR in Benching. BTW, my old PR was 190! w00t! I also hit a PR in Squats! Hell yes!

Bench Press
3 @ 135
1 @ 175
1 @ 200
1 @ 205 - PR
0 @ 210 - not even close

Back Squat
5 @ 135
1 @ 185
1 @ 245
1 @ 280 - PR

I'm all kinds of fucked up, but I'll live.

Not only is it 22", but it has a 2ms response time! Zero blur.

How about yourself? You having a good end of the year?

Only because I did the Waterbury Method before I took off. It's another great routine. Right up there with the 5x5. Next I'm going to do the Total Strength Program. Which is also a routine from Waterbury.
