I am so glad it is friday!!  This week has been busy and I am grateful for that because busy keeps the bills paid which keep Mary happy which makes me happy.  I am also glad because Zac doesnt have football practice on fridays with Eagle black so it is night of getting off work and going home and hanging out with the family which I like.  I told Zac that tonight I would sit on the couch and watch a movie with him.  He is very much a mommas boy and I am fine with that.  He has been very stressed with school and when he gets this way he needs more time as that is his love language and I am happy to oblige.

Had an emergency last night at about midnight.  Thankfully it didnt take long and I was headed back home within about 20 mins.  I did stub my big toe and take off some skin on a board that was on the sidewalk which then bled all over my sock and shoe this morning at the gym.

box squats and deads

box squats

*45# for 5

*95# for 5

*115# for 5

*125# for 10 sets of 2

360

The working sets are done with minimal rest between sets.  They felt good and I really tried to concentrate on keeping my lats tight and it is amazing how much that helps with not falling forward.  A good trainer is worth their weight in gold.

 

snatch grip deads

*135# for 3 sets of 5

362

I went light on these because I had never done them and wasnt really sure what to expect.  They werent bad and next time I will use more weight.

 

RDL

*225# for 3 sets of 10

357

another first with these.  I watched a video on them before hand and tried to do them as instructed.  Next time I think I will do them in a rack so I can save myself the initial pull off the ground and concentrate on pushing my butt out and not bending at the back.

 

reverse hyperextensions

*3 sets of 20

359

hole in the wall gym doesnt have a reverse hyper machine so I googled some options and used a ball on a bench and that seemed to work well.

 

ab curls

*80# for 45

This was supposed to be 3 sets of 15 but I was running out of time so did them all as one set, obviously I need to add more weight.

 

 

Today was very very busy.  We got a good start to the day but with Dr Sanders gone there were a ton of walk ins and surgeries and we didnt get done until after 12:30.  I went home at lunch and laid down for a little bit and then headed back over to the clinic for the afternoon craziness.

Tomorrow Zac has a football game at 9 am at morenci so we have to leave about 7:30 to get up there in time for warm up and such.  Cant wait to watch him play.
