Squats

Sunday I was busy doing yard work and I took the day off weights. I still rebounded for an hour to get my steps in. That evening I started feeling sick. Monday I called into work sick. Not well enough to lift but I still bounced for 2 hours. Afterwards I took it easy.

Today I went to work. I felt really good. Squats after work.

Rebounding - 30 minutes.

Squats - bar/10 reps, 135lbs/6 reps, 225lbs/3 reps, 315lbs/3 reps, 405lbs/1 rep, 405lbs/1 rep, 405lbs/2 reps, 415lbs/2 reps.

Static Stretches.

I was too forward over my toes wearing my lifters. I switched to flat soles for the last two doubles. Much better.

Home Again

I returned home yesterday afternoon. In time for a wonderful family Thanksgiving. Before I left Comox I had a wonderful visit with some long time friends. They took me fishing on the Pacific ocean. There, I caught a little fish we put back. We almost crashed into a humpback whale. And I caught the biggest fish of our day out. Crazy. 

My steps lagged over the weekend so today I had to "step" it up.

Keeping Busy

I got the big lifts in earlier in the week knowing the week was going to finish up on a busy note. On Thursday my TRT injection felt off and a muscle spasmed in my leg. On Friday it felt like I have a deep bruise in the muscle. However, Thursday and Friday I managed to get my steps in. Good for me.

Today I wanted to train a bit because tomorrow morning I leave for Comox BC for a week long course. Only a week but I'm not sure about what I'll be able to do for training. In reality a week off the weights focusing on body weight exercises, mobility and walking won't do me any harm.

Here's what happened today.

Rebounding - 2hrs, 5 minutes. (a long one)

SSB Squats - bar/6 reps, 4 sets/6 reps/145lbs.

Bench Press - 2 sets/12 reps/135lbs, 2 sets/12 reps/225lbs.

MG High Cable Rows - 3 sets/12 reps/60kg.

Triceps Cable Ext - 3 sets/12 reps/20kg.

Static Stretches.

Feeling alright. Now I gotta get packed and enjoy some dinner.
