Checked the pool timings, they suck. So i will get in there next week or maybe this weekend. But in the mean time the other stuff continues.

Came home from the walk and made breakfast (bacon w/ eggs over hard if you care) and while stuff was cooking i got this done:
Wall Slides 2 x 10
Head Harness 2 x 25 x 20lbs
Wall slides felt much better today. I will do 2 more sets before bed tonight. Lower back was super stiff this morning but who really fucking cares, that is what warm ups are for.
0930 i got picked up and off to the Gym
Warm Up:
Treadmill 10 min - Max Incline - Lvl 2.5
Rev Hyper 2 x 10
Red Band pull a parts
1 x 45
4 x 20
45 Deg Back Extensions 3 x 10
45 Deg Side Bends 2 x 10 /1 x 5 (each side)
I-T-W-Y's 1 x 10 x 5 lbs
This was a perfect setting for the treadmill today, i will stay here for a few days before bumping up the speed a touch more. I don't have a proper reverse hyper so i am using one of the back extension machines, i still get a great pump and stretch through my low back so i feel they are worth while do at least do in my warm up.
Fat Man Horizontal Shrugs
1 x 15 x 50
1 x 15 x 55
5 x 10 x 65
Two Handed Plate Pinch 1 x 25 sec x 25 lbs
Neck Crunch 3 x 20 x 25 lbs
Bodyweight Box Squat 4 x 10 (1 extra set)
Lunges 1 x L 10 /R 10
Quad Stretch 3 Min /2 Min /4 Min
Hamstring Stretch 2 min
ABduction Machine 1 x 40 x 135 lbs
ADduction Machine 1 x 40 x 75 lbs
Boat Pose 1 min /1 min
Plank 50 sec
Bike 25 min /65-85 rpm /medium resistance
This was a very great session today. Lunges felt alot more solid i can nearly do them on both legs without having to hold onto anything.
The BIG news of the day, yes i did an extra set of box squats. Here is why: MY STRETCH REFLEX KICKED IN DURING BOX SQUATS. Now for the uninitiated this means as i was squatting my glutes /hamstrings /Quads were able to engage and decelerate my body weight.
This is a big deal for lifting later and also means my legs and rear chain muscles are beginning to fire effectively again. Physiologically this is a very big deal in my progress.
The bike felt very smooth. Still medium resistance but to get over 20 min two days in a row is very good. i did manage to look at the clock for everything which gives me numbers to work with.
I watched my first Christmas movie tonight, DIE HARD. Elf this Saturday and probably national lampoons Christmas on Sunday (maybe). (yes this has nothing to do with trg)

Managing Angry Moments /Things that confuse me that i want no real answer to:
-WTF do people buy giant BEATS BY DRE head phones for the fucking gym? I hide the cord from ear buds in my sweatshirts and t-shirts so they don't get caught on shit when i am training . But giant SPEAKERS on your head to train with?
-As i warmed up on the treadmill this morning i looked around. I was doing 2.5 on an incline. Approx 14 people in the "cardio room" (cough cough, choke back stomach bile) I was going faster than a third of the people in there. I am talking about people younger, healthier and with a hell of a lot more potential than they were giving themselves credit for.
These were regular gym goers.
I say this not because i think i am super human or some shit but because people really need to understand they are capable of so much more. In ALL areas of life. A good place to start is the gym, but they miss the point.
Please for the love of fuck stop selling yourself short, and get on it with it for fuck's sake. If tomorrow really was the end of the world at least pretend like you are trying to live your life.
