    More covid madness manifested itself. I was lifting in a converted racquetball court with 3 power racks, some free standing squat stands, and 2 platforms. I was alone while warming up and then 3 young women came in to lift. Then a little later, 2 guys. Shortly thereafter, a masked student employee walked by and said the capacity for that room was 2 people and the last ones to arrive needed to do stuff elsewhere. The last 2 guys left. Me and the girls stayed put. The area was 40' x 20'. Keeping 6' apart was no issue for the 6 of us.
    Haven't you heard? Even the NJ Gov. agrees, it's
    TOO RISKY.
    Everything else can be open, sarscov2 disdains lowes, homo depot, wallyworld, groceries, barbershops...but GYMS, those nasty gyms? where people go to maintain their health?? They're too smart to fall for that, these governors - way too many places in a gym for the virus to lie in wait for knuckleheads; can't open gyms, waaaayyy too much risk!!!

    They're making other people crazy; where I am (NJ) the general public is attacking one other over masks (or lack thereof). Gyms are sadly still closed here except for one-on-one and outdoor training.
    When I peek in here, I get inspired; there's a lot of nice work going on here. Kudos!

    Getting a leg up on the cycle today with the Rec Center back open. Sporting my Chicago Blackhawks ball cap (perhaps the only major sports team with the balls to resist the social justice warriors by standing pat on their name) and my Do You Even Lift? t-shirt and my Blue Lives Matter mask.

    Speed/dynamic effort/deload cycle.

    Conditioning this morning with rounds of 2 sets of 3 for medicine ball toss, box jumps, and kettlebell swings; along with speed bag, prowler, and heavy bag.

    After this cycle, a break of a few days from lifting (maybe) and then a mock meet to test current 1RM's to better plan for competing later.

    We were stuck in refrigerator delivery purgatory this morning so I decided to paddle around the lake in our back yard. A pleasant morning's float, spotting a gynormous blue heron perched in the top branches of a weeping willow.
