Okay I was feeling completely miserable from being sick so I skipped out of the regular workout routine entirely just to exercise at home. It was fun, a unique diversion from the day to day grind, and let me feel like I was letting the body really rest up. 50 reps chin-ups sets of 3-5 […]

Catching up on old logs again so this one is for the record books more than anything. Today was Dev Day, cycle 2 and I was pretty sick on this workout. In fact being sick caused me to have nearly an extra 4-5 days of off days from working out so records will be sparse. […]

Okay, it’s been a while since I typed up a meaningful workout log most of them are backlogged these days a week and a half and I’m rushing through logging them. I do keep them on the website, deep in here, but don’t syndicate them to the front page or Facebook or anything as to […]
