30 second update

quick update here just to keep myself going through the motions. My workouts have been good but sporadic lately. Never know what my schedule is going to be from day to day so I'm just forcing myself to throw in gym sessions whenever I can. Here's a very brief outline of what I can remember:

standing millitary press:
worked to a set of 4 with 180lbs
5 x 10 x 105lbs

Low box squats:
managed six with 410lbs
5 x 10 x 240lbs

Deadlifts:
3 x 405, 3 x 430, 3 x 450
5 x 10 x 255lbs

And to uphold our claim as PARENTS OF THE DECADE, we managed to allow Kellan to roll off our bed yesterday. That makes one plunge from the bed for each of our children. The funny thing is, they seem to be getting tougher as they go. Kellan cried vigoursly for a minute then slapped me in the face and giggled about it. It's a blessing the cute little blob wasn't hurt, but he appears to be as bouncy as his brothers.

I'VE NOTHING CLEVER TO PUT HERE.

Dead lifts on Monday
WU
375 x 5
425 x 3
475 x 4 (Liked this one. Felt strong)
250 x 10 x 5

Spent tuesday and Wed driving all over Texas. Hopefully I can get some bench in tonight, but who knows. Tomorrow we leave for Denver. That's all I really care about. I'm renting a motorcycle on Monday and Shawn (he's borrowing his dad's bike) and I are riding up to Rocky National to camp for a night. That's the kind of fresh air I need forced up my nostrils at 80 mph. Makes me wish I still had my VMax, but I'm not going to gripe about a rental. Pray that we have a safe trip, eh?

Back in the Saddle

Got that stupid Houston trip out of the way. Still haven't fully recovered from that nonsense. I came back with some kind of smog induced sinus infection that still has me hacking up a lung. Let's see here...I did bench last sunday, flew to houston on Monday and got back late Thursday. Felt like dog crap on Friday. Saturday I made up for Wed and Friday by doing back to back Squat and Military. That was very dehydrating.

Squats:
WU
385 x 3
400 x 3
425 x 5
235 x 10 x 5

Military:
WU
140 x 5
160 x 3
185 x 4
95 x 10 x 5

Pull ups and stuff...

OK. Well that was a long sweaty session.
I just got off the phone a little while ago with my cyclist buddy here in town. He's wanting to get into triathlon and was asking me for advise. How funny is that? Anyway, the guy has really got me jones'n to get another bike. I know as well as anyone, I desperately need to get some cardio. I loath running. The thought of pounding out some miles on a bike puts me in a happy place. The thought of being seen in full body spandex removes me from that happy place. :)

Add on:
This morning on the way to work, I witnessed a big fat guy mowing his lawn in a speedo and tennis shoes. Funniest/disturbingest thing I've ever witnessed. Had to make the block so Chase could try to get a picture. Gave me an eye tic.
