Hopefully back in the  saddle this week, elbow is feeling better. Weight today was 211 WOOHOO.

Took off Week 6 because of tendinitis in right elbow

Yep I was right no one was there that could help. Asked another guy in the gym but he hadn’t done them since high school. But the way he explained  they did them was to bring up the barbell in three movements. Waist 1 Shoulder 2 and then push up like a military press move as 3. Haven’t seen that move in the video’s I’ve been watching.

Here is my workout for this week. Feel really good and I believe I’m making progress.

Well, I measured my waist this morning and it was 41". And the scales said 221 so… I’m guessing water weight since I haven’t been drinking enough water? Talk at you later.

Well this is week 2 of Rippetoe and I really love it. My lifting weight is going up to 80 lbs. I’ve lost a pound so far and I need to get my measurements. Well the impossible happened today, and I’m really excited to write about it. Our son Hunter is seven years old and we had bought matching(ahhhhhh) bicycles at Wally World before he was born. The bikes had been hanging in the garage for that long. I thought since it was cooling off now would be a good time to ride bikes for the cardio and all. My parents had given our son an used bike and he was learning how to ride. Hunter and I would go on bike rides around town and had a lot of fun. AND AFTER ALL that my wife Judy started riding her bicycle today too. I’ve heard that if one spouse exercises that the mate will usually start too. After her bariatric bypass I was hoping she wouldn’t be laying in bed every day watching Law & Order and playing card games on her laptop. Well I’m done for today, will try to write tomorrow.
