The reason I haven't been updating this p.o.s.? Because I have nothing but venom to spew.
It's the middle of summer, work is crushing me, my fun to "fun" ratio is all fucked up.
I just need to drag my ass to the gym, and then to the firm, and then keep repeating the cycle until it snows.
Everything will sort itself out when it snows . . .
Postscript:
The 20 rep squat/dead lift challenge continues. Yesterday I did the fourth round -- 20 squats at 120, 20 dead lifts at 160. Those numbers look so small, and yet they feel so very heavy.

An Off Week in Review . . .
Looking back, I now realize that The Friday Beatdown of two Friday's ago -- The Scientist's gnarly creation -- nearly killed me. I wasn't right all week, and it showed.
Saturday:
Rode the Wolverine Ridge Loop with The Wee One. Took it easy because my legs were smoked from the effing wall ball.
Sunday:
The Wee One went for a trail run in Park City while I curled up in a Starbucks and tried to ignore how shredded my shoulders felt.
Monday:
An ill-advised weight day involving strict presses, push presses, and push jerks. My last set was 5 x OUCH!
Tuesday:
Ran a mental health lap around Liberty Park. Began icing my shoulders with frozen peas.
Wednesday:
Began the 20 squat challenge, which The Ant has altered to include dead lifts as well.
Back squats: 20 x 105 lbs
Dead lifts: 20 x 145 lbs
Continued icing my shoulders.
Thursday:
Rest day. Shoulders had stopped aching. Well, in that case . . .
The Friday Beatdown:
This one was my creation. Everybody got worked and no one got hurt. Mission accomplished.
Hawaii Five Forever: AMRAP in 55 minutes, plus one round, of
400m run
5 squat cleans @ 135lbs
Wall ball @ 20lbs
5 KB swings @ 70lbs
5 box jumps @ 36"
10 rounds in 1:05:57
Saturday:
I was getting back on track. The Wee One and I double-teamed a heavy pull up workout and split 120 penalty burpees. Then I kept rolling with the 20 rep challenge.
Back squats: 20 x 110 lbs
Dead lifts: 20 x 150 lbs
