Monday: so so 5K treadmill walk. Maybe the roads tomorrow morning?
Today: weights around some chores and picked up my new professional laptop; I have it ready to go now.
pull ups: lots of singles and 5’s; enough to get 50. I didn’t feel THAT badly.
usual rotator cuff/hip hikes.
bench: 10 x 134, 2 x 184 (sort of ugly), 3 x 184 (VERY ugly; lock out took forever)
3 sets of 5 x 165
rows: 3 sets of 10 x 134
shoulder: 3 sets of 10 x 94 (I kind of prefer a narrower grip.
shoulder stand.
Push ups outside: 40, 30 , 10
Commentary: yes, these came at the end of the workout. But every time I see myself in video…I am…well, in one sense, disappointed. In another sense I am “oh, I see why.”
My technique, while far from perfect, is good enough.
But…it is weird. When I am working out, my insides feel much like they did 30 years ago, with the main difference is that I can’t move very much weight. So, it seems as if something is wrong.
But when I see myself in video…I am “OMG, that poor old man…” and I don’t EXPECT him to move much weight.
Internally, I don’t feel that I should be this weak, but when I see myself from the outside, it is clear why I am: the muscles just aren’t very tight; they are “impressionistic”
And they feel “hollow”; as if someone put a straw into my muscles and sucked out 1/2 of the mass and filled in the void with jello.
