No idea what is wrong; so tired, back, rib to shoulder sharp pain. IDK what I'm doing. Still congested at night. Went in anyhow.

Eh. Im not dead. I hate when this crap happens on Sat. b/c I go when no one's there so I can squat and powerclean in peace, so I can't move it to the next day. I mean, I could, but I'd get kicked out of my gym. Er, THEIR gym. Also I noticed a bunch of different groups on FB RE: SS/BBM/ et al. They oughta name this place Dramarama.

I hope you get over all the illness soon, it sure isn't easy to,train when you can't breath and the body pain sure doesn't help.
I was reading about the supposed riff on this forum today. Seems funny how the subject in a thread takes so many different turns.

What a great CG bench, grannyDeb. As I always tell everyone, there is no downside to having strong triceps.
That durned giant orb in the sky can have a big impact on our lifting, for sure.

The better to carry my grandkids😎! My grandson expects me to iceskate with him when I visit; haven’t skated/played in years. Early birth process has begun, I expect to PR my granny status this month 😍Originally Posted by Oldster

BACKSQUAT HEAVY 3's 165#/3 (3) IDK they were way too light. Was as fast as 155#. damn chiro got me secondguessing everything.
Here I remembered that I left my bumpers home, so no powercleans or rows from the floor. boo!
Lat Pulldowns 100#/10, 90#/10, 80#/10
Bent Row 90#/6 (fixed bar, no go)
Cable Low Row 50#/10, 50#/10, 40#/10 slow and squeezing my back, turned handle underhand
superset with 40#/12 curls, ouchie.
And, crowded. Clearly I should rotate my days and screw the other members.
Had a small run-in today; All angled racks were taken; and I saw this guy curling in the gym's only power rack - with look like never used gloves, wrist wraps below the joint w/ loops on his thumbs, and an empty bar. taken off the pins. then he added 2.5# ?
Me: Hi. Are you going to squat after? I have to squat.
He said, wait I cant hear. Sets the bar on the pins, Im not squatting, just curling.
Me: IN the rack???
He said, well, I can move, if you want. I mean, but Ill have to move the whole bar!
Me: well, if you can move it; I have to squat.
Him: I only have 2 more sets
Me: Ok, that's fine, as long as you're done w/rack after.
I go get a bar from an empty bench, walk back over to the space behind the racks, pclean it, press it, get it behind my neck, start warmups - squat 5 singles. Press, rack, put it down, wait a minute, do another set.
Him: I'm done
I set my stuff next to the rack.
Him, all agitated: And listen, NEVER interrupt like that again. That's dangerous. You interrupted me, right in the middle of A SET!
I guess I was an asshole to laugh; im really very careful of not getting in sightlines or making noise or lifting when there's a heavy lift/attempt near me, I could tell this wasnt heavy curls, but who the hell am I to say what's heavy for him.

You surely have a high degree of temper control.
