On Deck

     We didn't make it to the gym yesterday and I got a text today saying they were closed today for unexpected maintenance. I didn't want to go two days in a row without doing anything, so I grabbed some of the weights that weren't buried in the basement and did some stuff out on the deck. Here's what I managed to get done:

     Not a bad little medley. Today would have been shoulders at the gym and I figured I could get most of the same stuff done here. I threw in a little bi's & tri's because I missed that on Wednesday. I could've done with a little more stuff for the tri's, but I'm not worried about it. I don't really stress about targeting biceps and triceps because I feel like I can hit them on bench day and overhead press day, but Frank likes arm day; I think it's a guy thing lol.  Anyhow, I'm glad I did something to stay active today and I actually got a sweet little pump in my shoulders.

     Tomorrow is squat day. I hope the gym is open because just like Frank lives for arm day, I live for the squats. I'm not planning on going any heavier than I did last week because they didn't feel as strong as they could have. But who know. Maybe I'll get in the rack and feel like superwoman and get that squat up to 155lb. If I remember correctly, I was squatting that for reps when I was at Real Strength all those years ago. It seems like a lifetime ago. I figure if I haven't catastrophically injured myself yet, there's a good chance I can surpass where I was before. I may be a decade or so older with the extra pounds to match, but my spirit is still burning.
