We did pullups and barbell curls this morning.  I am going to do some grip work later this afternoon.  Sunday is the day that I do the grocery shopping, and cook!  I will bbq about 10 chicken breasts, 10 salmon fillets and smoke a turkey breast. And, I will make a couple of stews, plus salsa. Oh, and some protein potato burgers and turkey burgers, plus I will make a whole wheat, turkey sausage pizza for tonight.

This is our gym, in the garage.  I’m in the process of building a dip station, so I will be adding that in the next week or so. Left to right: that’s Abe the Mighty Wolfhound (lousy spotter but never misses a workout), the TV for that true gym feel, next is our wierd, $50 garage sale machine, then our dumbell rack, and last, our power rack.

I work out with my wife. Our gym is in our garage; we have a power rack and a couple of benches, plus a wierd machine we got at a garage sale for $50.  Oh, and a set of dumbells (10-45), pluse a set of Powerblock dumbells (up to 130 lbs).  I stick to basic multi-joint movements: squat, bench, deadlift, chins, pullups, straight leg deadlifts, plus some ab work.  I am getting into grip work as well. 

I’ve been having problems with my right knee.  I saw my doc on 4/9, he referred me to an orthopedist who I see next Tuesday.  Pretty sure I have a torn minescus, so I’m probably looking at arthospcopic surgery on it soon.  I don’t know how long that will shut down my leg work.  I had my left knee scoped 10 years ago, and the recovery was suprisingly long, about 2 months.
