Backing off the weights for a few days, probably the rest of the week. Last nights workout sucked. Failed on second set of 310 squats, only got 3.

I did something to my left shoulder a few weeks ago and work set squats really aggravate it. I think it happened when I got waffled failing on squats. The ache carries over thru the workout. Usually when I go home and take 2 Advil, I'm good. Lately it's still there even into the next day. Couple this with other nagging soreness/aches and I think it's time for a short break then reset and push on.

Cripes, I'm starting to sound like I'm the same age as Battue or Smokepole.

Anyway, 30 minutes on treadmill this morning 5deg incline 3.5 mph.

Damn Yankees....

Especially those far Northern Pa Yankees....

Scott, be careful with that. When you work out, it may feel OK but your body has a way of masking pain when you're doing strenuous exercise. If I were you, I'd get it looked at.

One time I injured myself and felt as old as Battue. I called 911. They said it was just a nightmare.

Obviously you are getting a little too ground down in the tooth to be hiking up in the higher elevations and pulling out heavy loads. Don't fret we will still think you a great fellow.

May go away if you climb slower, hydrate and try acetazolamide. Maybe???? Confusion and disrupted sleep patterns are only two of the classic symptoms.

Addition: You injured yourself once while working out? About what I figured....

Elliptical: 20minutes

Deadlifts (Maxed at 225. 250 is a goal) standing press 70 lbs, box stepups. 4 sets.

Lat Overhead pulldowns 70lbs, body weight squats, BP flys 35lbs, farmers walk 50/50 40yards out and back. 3 sets

Bike intervals: 20minutes.

Unfortunately or fortunately depending, reached the age when I'm sore someplace everyday. Workout or no workout.

Thanks. I didn't know this was a concern for you, and I appreciate your concern.

My injury was all your fault, by the way. I never "perved" until I read your posts on the subject. Then I strained my neck while craning to get a better look.

Added on a 3mile hike with the Pups.

27 trips down these steps

20 cable flyes 50#
10 chest flyes 130#
10 cable rows 100#
25 bench press 125-285#

That'll work! I was too cheap to get a parking pass, so always showed up EARLY and parked at the bottom of those steps.

Any idea what's causing the weird grass color/crop circles on the left side of the pic?

Looks like bermuda grass that is waiting on warmer weather(?).

Taking this week off. Last Saturday played in a football game after 2.5 months of practice. 3rd year I've done it...will probably be the last. Played every defensive down and never got tired and muscles feel good...left knee and left hip joints are feeling it though.

roundup

here's a link. Maybe not roundup exactly, but close enough.

Congrats on the game!! I sometimes think I need to get back into something competitively, then I remember how little time I really have for anything. Well done.

Firth's got it.

There was a small error in container labeling so last fall what they sprayed to control weeds instead nuked the grass. If it doesn't regrow in time for graduation they'll paint it green. There were some worried looking guys from the grounds crew praying for the grass seed to start sprouting.

I thought Firth was joking as I couldn't think of a reason they'd nuke that hill. Ha! Obviously I was wrong.

2.5 mile hike, 40 pound pack and a 10 pound rifle.

Chased the wife around the bedroom a few times <g>.
