Regarding the USSF, quite right. A United States federation is not international. I wish I could blame age for my mental lapses, but I can't with you.
Keep up the good work.

Well done. That's the best gift you could give them.My kids are lifting now, I've retired from coaching, and I'm on to Jiu-Jitsu.
Nice to see you learning new stuff. Good for you as you get older. I'm learning French, Mandarin, Mahjong, and knitting soft toys for the Childrens Hospital.

LOCKDOWN. A returning traveller from overseas entered our state carrying the Delta highly infectious covid. The next day he infected 4 people at multiple sites. They infected others. The government here believes in going hard and going fast to stop rampant spread. We entered a 7 day lockdown on Tues - schools, restaurants, GYMS, and most other things closed. The second day of lockdown there were 12 confirmed cases. The next day 15, with 12 districts having exposure sites.
Many people, thousands, going for testing. 12 hour wait sitting in your car. Ugh!
Contact tracers in overdrive. There may be many undetected cases.
So - Thurs at home workout.
16.6 lb dumbell, 2 x 10 lb dumbells, light bar. All done slowly, continuous tension up and down.
one arm curl 2 x 10.
triceps curl 2 x 10.
ab crunch 2 x 20.
SLHR 2 x 10.
lateral raise 2 x 10.
As an experiment did olympic lift "tabatas", 20 second intervals - but with long rests between. OL's are precision movements, where you don't want to be gasping going in. Felt ok.
