Well, Floyd and I started up again. Broke a light sweat and lifted weight, just light weight and a few pushes. Needless to saw I am not sore today, but I am feeling that I did work out. We did
Chest, back, shoulders, legs, abs, lower back and arms. It went fine, but now I have funny joint pains every where, getting old sucks, but I am sure I'll get over it.
The Calf made it through everything fine, so that is a good thing
Thursday is the next day for us. Sounds like Shannon wants to come too. So 3 it will be, and ripping through the lifts we will go.
Maybe before we start for reals this time we should take some measurables and actually see if gains are being made.... maybe

09Aug10 - NineEightTen
This is a story that has been told before and will be told again:
Things start anew tomorrow…
Two big things are over 1) our 2 week vacation is over (both good and bad. Good that I can get back to working out, bad that I am not still on vacation). 2) My torn (excuse me strained) calf doesn’t hurt any more. Not sure if the calf has any strength, but simply walking on it doesn’t hurt any more.
So Floyd and I are going to hit the gym a couple times this week and then for really real next week.
Don’t pray for me, I’m already dead. I am Mr. Self Destruct.

Thursday week 3 of 3 - 1 set workouts
I wasn't sure Floyd was gunna show this morning, he said he had to work late again. But he eventually did, got in a quick warm up and dove right into lifting. My legs felt particularly strong today, where as both our backs did not. Funny how that works some times. I know I got 14 of the 15 reps on Bench this morning, not sure how much if any Floyd aided with the last one, I never asked as I just pretended it was none. After we were done Floyd did say, "Glad I dragged my ass out of bed this morning, I do actually feel better." That's why we are doing this, to feel better and to throw up 3 plates and oh yeah just wait till those endorphins wear off, lol, just wait....

Tuesday Week 3 of 3 - 1 set workouts
Monday was a no go for us. Not because it was a Holiday (which it was) not because it was us being lazy (which were weren't) and not because it wasn't open (which it was). Floyd and I kinda worked like dogs all weekend, and we just needed some time off. Floyd did demo Saturday and Sunday and yard work on Monday. I did yard work Saturday and Sunday and built an herb garden on Monday. Needless to say, the beast was stunned A Whip-Crack went his whippy tail... oops Needless to say we were tired so Tuesday it was. Last week of the 1 setters. Then on to 2 sets, less reps, slightly more weight for 3 weeks, then on to a 2-day split for 6 weeks. Then on to a 4-day split for 12 weeks.

Friday 4 of 4 - Week 2 of 3 - 1 set workouts
Maybe Floyd working until 12:30AM and me drinking beer and eating pizza and going to bed at 1AM to get up and work out at 6:30AM was a bad idea. I am not say it was a bad idea, just that there is that possibility. Part of me was hoping floyd would cancel this morning, but we both did feel better after pumping. some iron that is.

Tuesday Week 2 of 3
Half way through, and I think we are finding our limits about now. I really think that is the purpose of this workout. Finding your maxes without having to 1 rep push it. At 3 weeks of 15 reps we will have a pretty firm idea of where we stand going into the 3 week 2x12 sets.
Floyd asked if we were working out on Monday, I was like "Why not? oh yeah it is a holiday. Is it even open?" He Was like "Probably" I said "Tell you what, we will ask on Thursday if they are open, if they are not open we will lift heavy on Friday and take a long weekend." Floyd replied "Heavy on Friday?!?! What was today?" I just shrugged.
