Tuesday - hams and calves

Weight 209

Forgot to bring the written routine with me - had to wing it.

Lying leg curls, 4X15-8 @ 60-90 lbs.
Standing calf raises, 5X15 @ 200-300
Seated leg curls, 4X15-10 @70-100
Leg press calf raises, 4X15-10 @ 235-310
Reverse hack squats, 4X20-10 @ 90-360
Seated calf raises, 3X15-8 @ 90-135
Hip abduction, 3X20-15 @ 90-110
Hip adduction, 3X20-15 @ 110-130

Knee feels good....didn't call the doctor yet, maybe tomorrow.

Had a lot of energy today. Shortened up some rest times and got through the routine pretty quickly. The hack squats leave me a little out of breath, so I still took my time with these.

There seems to be an epidemic of people I know passing away lately. I just got word that a good friend of mine succumbed to cancer last night. She had throat cancer. I thought she was in remission, but I guess it must have returned. She and I spent a lot of time in Washington D.C. lobbying our congressmen and women. We even had lunch in the Senate dining room with one of the Senators from Oregon, which was quite an honor. We always spoke of it when we would get together. I will miss her a lot.

When I did lunges in the past, I really enjoyed them. I don't remember doing them with added weight. Dumbbells would probably help with balance. I haven't tried to do them since my knee started giving me fits. I am a little concerned about doing one legged exercises with the exception of leg extensions. I can feel that I am compensating with my good knee for the bad one. Like I said, I need to confer with the orthopedist soon. I know my body pretty well, but some things are out of my realm. What I don't want to do is to further injure my knee right now.

Some of us are privileged and some are not, I guess. I think my photos have been photoshopped too. It's idiotic and childish, but then some of the posters on Getbig are idiot children of the worst kind. I am not sure Steve has ever shown his face in photos he posted on Getbig.

We check the weather in Frankfurt, GR because Frankfurt is only about 50 miles from where our son lives. Yesterday and today is has been really hot there. Here we are having our usual late spring cool down. It is about 62 degrees out and lightly sprinkling.

Problem is here it changes very rapidly at the Moment...lots of really bad floods in Germany. Whole villages just flooded.

Floods are always bad news. I live on a hill, if it ever floods here, someone better be building another Ark. 

My son must have learned something from his dad or he just got lucky because when decided to build his house in Uettingen, GR. the only available land was up the hill from town. So no flooding at home. It might mess with his long commute to work though.

It is really bad here. I am lucky but People have had to be evacuated. Most have not the Insurance to cover it all because it´s expensive or they never dreamed it would happen. You Need a Special extra clause in your Insurance.

I actually think this is the most strict bicep mass builder. The range of Motion and  strictness makes it unique. In my opinion.

It is the same in the U.S., one must carry flood insurance or it is, "too bad, so sad." Of course, when FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Assistance) gets involved many people get some compensation for their losses regardless of insurance or not. One of the threats where I live is earthquakes. We've never experienced a severe one in the almost 50 years we've lived in Oregon, but the possibility of a major earthquake still exists if one believes what they are told by the media. Our house is probably the worst construction design if we were to have an earthquake which measured high on the Richter scale our house would collapse on itself. Our living area ceiling vaults to 22 ft. with very little lateral support. Although there is a lot of lumber in this house, it is basically nailed together and not like to old post and beam homes where the supporting structure is notched and dowelled. Anyway, Earthquake insurance is an add on to my regular home insurance which runs about $600 a year with a $10,000 deductible.
