Sometimes in the gym I wish I were shorter. But then I think, would I really want to give up my height just to do better here? And the answer is definitely no. I'd be 6'8" if I could. Actually, make that 6'9", so I can beat my brother.
Oh, that reminds me. Not counting said brother, Saturday was the first time I coached someone taller than me. Just an inch or so, but still, not a common occurrence.

Okay, so PT didn't affect my squats as much as I feared, but it definitely hurt my bench. The worst part is, I designed it.
Our commander has given me more or less a free hand to take over our PT program (still very limited on equipment and space though). On the plus side, that means we're actually getting a decent workout, and people are actually giving some effort. The downside is that now I have to give effort, instead of sandbagging it. Which means my lifting on Friday and Saturday will probably be affected each time I go, which is almost every week.
Oh well. At least I can count it as a legitimate conditioning session now. I'm also walking/hiking through the woods (harder than you'd think, and harder than it should be) on Sundays for about 30 minutes, though I'm not going to bother logging that.
