today's workout

Yeah, so I was able to hit the gym this morning, which is a damn sight rare these days.

3 x 2 min skipping with 1 min. recovery between sets.

3 x 50 crunches on incline bench

5 x pullups wide (outward) grip. 5 x pullups close (inward) grip. 1 x pullup wide (outward) grip.

3 x 25-30 medicine ball neck crunches.

That's it for the warmup.

I am not all that much of a heavy lifter and I haven't done it much in ages and have no spotter but I will relate the rest of my workout. I am trying to switch from a bodybuilder's routine to a power routine and have lots of "feeling out" and experimenting ahead of me.

Bench press machine: 5 x 150 lbs. 8 x 135 lbs 1 x 150 lbs.


squats: these went poorly today. I didn't get low enough and was nervous in the rack.
5 x 235 5 x 235

finger curls with Olympic Bar (45 lbs) 20 or 30 reps, a single set.

Then my time was up and I was kicked out of the gym along with the other morning cheap-time people.

I am pretty psyched on www.crossfit.com lately, as well as www.gymjones.com and www.rossboxing.com. I am no animal like some of those folks (yet) but I am working on it.

Yeah, I would like to have the stroller. A good one costs a pile and she is not old to support her head well yet.

I have been doing squats with her though!

When she's older she can sit on my back while I do push-ups.
