Lots going on, so haven't been in the gym much. Unfortunately, most of what's been going on has not been revenue producing.
Started the usual way today. Wore elbow and wrist support.
Incline press, warm-up and work up to a weight that was very difficult for 12 reps, did 12/10/8/6 without dropping weight. Really, really tough. 2 wheels and change.
Incline DB of very slight incline, worked up to a heavy 8 and did 2x8
Bench, 2x15 no lock
Stretch pushups, 2xfailure; by this point, that was 10 and 7 reps. My triceps were gassed and chest pumped.
Side laterals, 4x8; kept the weight manageable to avoid irritating my right shoulder. Had no issues with it.
Rear delt work, 30/25/20/15, each set close to failure; brutal
Ultra-wide grip overhead barbell press, essentially chest to forehead, 3x15; not much weight.
I feel fat. Gonna do a lot more sprints and sled work.
Had an in-person interview last week and will find out next week what the outcome was. Competition is very tough right now -- the economy sucks, no matter what the media is telling you. Around here the malls are full of people, but no one is buying.
Wife's surgery is scheduled for the 21st, and the bills are starting to roll in. She's got good insurance, but there's also a healthy deductible and one aspect of the procedure has to be paid for up-front (?!). I understand, but I don't. She thankfully was smart enough to get supplemental insurance (think Aflac), but that check hasn't arrived yet. Sure will feel better when it does.
Btw, if you don't have supplemental insurance, particularly with the total havoc the ACA is causing healthcare, I really do recommend you reconsider.
Hope all are well. Hold tough and finish strong.
