Hack squats on the machine kill my knees.

I know what you mean. It depends on how the machine is made. Some I can use and others are a knee killer.

Since she's a coworker, one of several things could happen. She'll eventually get canned for her lack of work ethic or "she's sleeping with the boss", and  eventually the affair will end and she'll be gone. Another possibility is that she's got something on one of the bosses, like threating him or her with sexual harassment, or she knows about something that could cause problems in which case you'd just have to wait her out. She may decide to move on, or the boss will say enough is enough and take a chance by firing her.

Don't let this woman put your job at risk. By complaining to your bosses you've put them on notice about her job performance. If enough coworkers complain, her supervisor will hopefully take some action.

It is far easier to find another position while your employed. You don't have to defend your decision to quit your old job and in the case of blowing up at the boss, risk not getting a good reference. Outbursts such as the one you had, will only hurt you. If your feeling really fed up with the situation, pretend you are sick and leave for the day, this will give you a chance to cool off enough to where you can think and behave more rationally.

I know these things are easier said then done. I've had to learn the hard way to curb my sometimes explosive temper so as to not get fired for it. It's a pain when something happens that sets you off, but sucking it up beats unemployment any day.

yeah his grip...should be underhand, supinated

t thought I was going light yesterday. Today I can barely lift my arms over my head without feeling a lot of pain. My lats are very sore. My lower back is pretty sore too, but not in a bad way. Today I should have worked delts and other shoulder muscles. This is pretty hard to do when you cannot lift your arms. Overhead presses seemed out of the question. The only body part I worked out yesterday that doesn't hurt are my abs....strange. It looks like my trek back to working out is going to get off to a slower start than I thought it would. I'm thinking every other day until my body adapts.

Some little voice in my head kept saying to me today, welcome to being almost 71 years old. In my head I responded with, "fuck that noise." 

Oregon....it's almost 8:30 p.m. and it is still fairly light out. In another month or two it will be 9:00 p.m. before the sun completely sets.

I liked doing 5 sets, normally do 3or 4...Tri sets blasted my shoulders and even traps raising higher than shoulder level on the front/side raises

Underhanded grip always hurt my elbows.
