Speedin' on Tuesday

Hi! Speed bench today. Man I am SOOOO tired today. Not sure if it's the weather or what, but just draggin' ass big time. Found out today my youngest is getting her tonsils yanked on Thursday. Maybe it was the 2 1/2 hours I sat in the ENT's office that wore me out! Any ways, here goes: Speed bench 45# x 6 x 6 65# x 6 x 6 65# with bands 6 sets of 3 reps...torqued my right arm somehow, so at this point I took the bands off. 65# 2 sets of 3 reps DB Flat bench presses 20# x 6 25# x 6 30# x 6 35# x 6 Overhead barbell presses 50# x 6 55# x 6 60# x 6 65# x 4 Shrugs alternating regular and diesel 20# for 4 sets of 12 Bar push up 10 x 7 x 7 The next three I rotated through one set then the next exercise and so on until I got my 3 sets in...talk about a pump!!! Overhead French presses 20# 3 sets of 12 Tricep push downs 30# 3 sets of 12 DB curls 15# for 3 sets of 12 Then finished off with three different types of crunches for 3 sets of max reps...killer! Ok. Tomorrow's hump day! Have a good one! Val

Mike

You know what's funny, I was thinkin' "geez I feel weak tonight" especially after having trouble with the speed benching! Thanks Mike, you made me feel much better about it! I mean, look at you! You did your work out AND 9 holes of golf!! Holy cow man, that's nothing to sneeze at!! I am feeling kinda icky today...I hope I am not getting the big man's crud. I try to leave him alone while he's sick. He's usually holed up in his "cave" when he's sick, doesn't like to be bothered. That way he keeps the germs to himself! Just trying to wake up *YAWN* to get to another work day. At least with Meagan's surgery in the afternoon tomorrow I can sleep in! How's Kristie? I hope she's doing ok, you haven't mentioned her lately!! Have a good Weds it's my night off from training! Val

She is tough but it just keeps going, we just sit around and wait for it to go back into remission, very frustrating. She is very upset because she was making such good progress with workouts; she was getting strong fast. If she works out now, she is in agony for days, now even walks take their toll on her. But she does what she can, and waits until she can get this f*&king illness behind her again. It is just a little depressing right now, but you asked I am the same way when I am sick as Earl, I hibernate, then when I start to feel better I am bouncing off the walls. I hope Earl feels better

We women are like that...small but mighty! Tell her I am thinking about her and I hope she gets to feeling better soon. I think about her a lot. I can't imagine how frustrating that might be. I will work out for her and send strong healthy vibes her way! Must be a guy thing with the hibernation. I want to be around somebody, I want to be babied when I am sick... just ask Earl... he'll tell ya, but he doesn't want to be near me cuz he doesn't want to catch it. I say, share and share alike right? NOT!!! Hang in there, give her hugs for me! PS I LOVE The toilet guy! where did you find that????
