Took a lil longer between sets than I wanted. Hoping to be getting a new job (have a phone interview Tuesday), and if I do, I'll have 5 weeks of training requiring an hour commute each way, so I'll prolly drop my lifting to 1 session a week during that time if I get in. We'll just see what God has in store for me and go from there.

And how can you know that for sure? There's a lot more evidence in all areas of science pointing to the need for a Creator than there is to the possibility that everything is just a cosmic accident.





7/13
After doing some reading yesterday, I'm pretty sure I've got "boxer's knuckle" on my right middle finger, probably due at least in part to putting my wrap between my fingers. So, til August I'ma take a break from the heavy bag, at least with hard right fists.



Sledgehammer on tyre for warm-up

7 rounds of ~30 hits on the tyre, 28-30 flips of the tire, followed by a rest. All but the first round also included a kata after the tyre flips.

Some stretches.
 
Took an unplanned week off... Well, not entirely off. Spent 3 days last week stripping 2 layers of shingles off a house so the new shingles could get put down. When I wasn't doing that, we had a lot going on, and when I had time to lift I was too warn out.

Started using my standard weights and db handle for my rows. Figured that was easier than trying to figure out how to get my oly handle set up while I'm making use of my small plates...

Hiking around some trails and up rock formations with a lil more than 25lbs in a pack on my back and my steel toe boots on my feet. Spent probably a couple hours, with a good bit of climbing up and down.

Did not do set # 5. Didn't eat anything before lifting so the only thing in my belly is water and it's gurgling...


Contrast shower and a couple stretches.

Treadmill
.9 mile @ 15 minutes, alternating fast walk at ~3 mph and jogging at ~4 mph.




Just didn't have 5 reps per set in me on squats, and didn't feel like I had anything to give to bench either. Planned to take a week off lifting, but ended up doing 2, as I got a gig driving a truck of furniture out to California and then picking up a stove in Mississippi on the way back. Starting back into my lifting today and figuring to do a 10% deload on all my lifts to restart.

Stretches


2 weeks spent mainly driving, w no lifting or anything, seemed to really kill my lifting. I'm sure the extra caffeine towards the end of driving days and still being tired today didn't help either. Figured the treadmill would help with recovery.

Rebuilding my work capacity and neuro-muscular coordination after essentially a month off...
 
9/19 - Still fighting a cold, so I figured getting up a good sweat might help. Donned some sweatpants and a hoodie with the hood up and jumped on the treadmill.


15 min @ ~2.6mph fast walk
Small break

Threw some punches off and on while jogging.
