What a week. I walked in to the gym feeling less than stellar. I haven't been the best at sleeping the past few nights - mainly the combination of staying up late practicing for a gig this coming Friday, and a pair of toddlers who begin The Toddler Comedy Hour Variety Show as early as 5:40 every morrning. One of the guys who manages the gym was in there today, as the bearer of bad news. Our fitness center at work is basically something management has formally ignored for years. We have some waivers, pay our dues, and everything is great. They have everything we need to get big & strong. It also happens to not be staffed. Apparently it is not allowed for an un-staffed fitness center to have any free weights, any DBs over 100lbs, or any plate-loaded equipment (translation: all the fun stuff), so management is "dealing with it". We don't yet know whether it means formally making it an un-staffed fitness center, or simply hiring a halfwit to sit at a desk. It is a good thing I have a full setup in my garage.
This news bothered me something fierce, so I attempted a new maximum. I wasn't ready for 240 yet, but I did get two new maxes at 8 & 10 reps. This also might be the first time doing 20 consecutive dips (wowiezowie). The dips were done as a challenge with Y&H.
Stay strong, people of the internet.
