I wish you well Scott. Yes, I was an 11B, and an 18B, and an 18D, among other things.

Yesterday:
Front Squat
5-3-1
135#-225#-315#(PR)

AMRAP (rounds) 25 min:
Front Squat - 225# - 5 Reps
Hanging L-Sit Hold - 10 sec
Front Rack Walking Lunge - 155# - 5 reps

1 Rep short of 5 rounds. I was pretty happy with my 1 rep max on Front Squat going up 50# since the last time I did it!

Today:
Partner Workout - Row 10K
44:30

Since the kids were with grandparents I did this today with my wife. Fun times. We did 500m then switched. I went out way too fast on my first round, getting in at about 1:32. I paid for that the next 9 rounds...

Great job on the new FS PR!

Thanks! It took a few grunts...

I've been working on something I might have missed seeing on here before: heat and impact acclimation.

After spending so much time in the gym and on the treadmill I had to get used to the heat and the hardness of the great outdoors. The last couple weeks have been getting me back on my mettle. And a resumption of hill training has been putting a spring in my step.

At this point I have to say that the spring and early summer portion of my training has been a success. I'm getting the weekly mileage in, have continued with the resistance training and am seeing progress there, AND there have been no injuries thus far. The one point of emphasis I need going forward is to step up on my swimming and cross training. I've been allowing that to slip.

Delt and Bicept evolution.

In my best "Smokepole" rendition: "I'm just a hunka hunka burning love." "Thank you, thank you very muuuch."

Did three miles with the pack this morning in a new area. Found a nice little spring-fed pond for the dog to cool off in along the way. At the end of the hike, there's a fairly steep 40-foot embankment, did 10 quick up-and-downs, that'll get the heart pumping.

75 minute ride on trainer this morning. This is the last day of shutdown so once we run thru all equipment verifying it is ready to run I can get out of here. Hope to get a short hike in this afternoon.

For those of you that have hiking worth doing a short distance from home or work, I hate you just a little bit...

Harry, I talked to Svetlana, she said Elvis left the building a long time ago. What'd she mean by that?

Don't pay it much mind, she is just "All Shook Up."

You ain't nothin but a hound dog.

It's all fun and games until one starts crying in the chapel.
