training 3.13.2014

Managed to work it in this morning, which has been a bit difficult lately.

No warm-up today for several reasons.  I am certain it cost me reps on the first few sets.

Superset:
 - incline 1 1/4 DB press, 4x10 -- just what you think, in that down/up quarter/down/up full = 1 rep
 - incline squeeze press, 4x10-12; neutral hand position, squeeze the bells together over the chest hard and press

The squeeze presses are very tough if you do them right -- squeeze the bells together as hard as you can.  Triceps were already gassing early because of the lack of warm-up, so this was primarily a chest exercise for me today.

Machine chest press, 30/20/15; all the chest machines had squatters on them (which is a lot), so I used a cable station with the same scheme.  Very tough.  Went to exhaustion every set.

Superset:
 - leaning lateral, 3x8-10, thumbs up
 - 1-arm lateral, 3x10-12
 - 1-arm cable lateral,  3x12-15

Machine military, 30/20/15
Rope pullover, 4x8-10, 10s between sets
Rope pushdown, 30/20/15, 1s hold at the bottom

This was just a brutally hard day, even without major movements or muscle groups.  I'm fried.  Love that.

Boy made the JV baseball team; still no job; wife will live, but we still don't know about chemo; Bob still needs prayers; and Milda, well Milda is fabulous, as usual, and a great friend.  I can feel another kidney stone moving around; here's hoping it's a small one that just passes on through, as it were.

Life's tough all over -- hang tough and count your blessings.
