Fridays workout on 6-27-2025:  Delt and triceps. Warmups as needed or no warm up. For me a warm up is never a taxing set.

Military clean and press 1 x 7
Dumbbell delt lateral 1 x 20
Dumbbell rear delt lateral 1 x 14
Face pulls 1 x 20
Barbell shrugs 1 x 11

Triceps push down with a straight bar 1x 12
Single dumbbell with two hands tricep extension while seated 1x11   (I lean back on a turned around Scott curl attachment)
Palms up grabbing a D shaped handle for tricep extensions 1x13
Weighted dips 1 x 10 (tried to go deep)

Weighted crunches on the floor 1 x 60
Pulley crunches  1x70
Knee in seated on a bench 1x40

Pullover with a dumbbell 1 x 12 ( use this not as a development exercise but one for stretching.)


After I went for a five mile fast walk. Slowed for the first quarter mile by seeing an acquaintance who took it upon himself to walk with me and yack.  Finally told him I like to walk by myself and went back to my fast walking pace. Never understood how anyone casually strolls instead of pushing the pace  while walking.  Walking really fast is a gentle exercise as it is. Don't waste your time walking like a chubby soccer mom. I will be getting back to running when my foot heals. It will stand up somewhat for fast walking but running is out for a little while longer.

Do you suspect this acquaintance may have wanted to undo your slacks?

I told my wife the same thing.  I don't wear slacks though. I wear trousers. He did look light in the loafers, I mean shoes.  When I told him I wanted to walk by myself he threw up his hands, giving me the what the fuck look.

6-29-2025 Sunday:

I was walking fast for cardio since I injured my foot instead of running. Now walking is hurting it.  I took out my bike which I haven't used in years and pumped up the tires. Turns out pedaling the bike caused zero problems for my injured foot.

I remember decades back I was on a biking kick. Even road in the Iowa Ragbrai that was 500 miles in five days. That tour was about 90 degrees for the whole week and I road with some savages that keep pushing the pace everyday.  We slept in tents at night that felt like 120 degrees.  I grew a strong distaste for ever being in a tent again. I will be in a nice hotel and I will never try camping again.  One night there was a thunder storm the likes of which I have never seen. Even though we were in the highest ground we could find I slept in about 4" of water. Completely miserable. I road it with my brother who at the time was a biking maniac. Now my brother is 79 years old and is on a 5K running race kick. He tells me places really well in his age group to which I asked him, "What are there, two people in your age group in the race?"

I also use to mountain bike the isolated woods near my house. Even when snowing. One time I found a car that probably dated back to the 1920's in the woods. It was surrounded by trees. Plenty of bullet holes in it. I assume from hunters fucking around. I pictured they were riding a horse trail and the car either got stuck or broke down. They probably had no way to get it out back then and they abandoned it.

Anyway the bike ride was a fun way to get some cardio in. I didn't ride far at all and I estimate it at around 8 miles but I tried to push the pace.

Tomorrow is Chest and biceps.  I will test my foot on a soft treadmill after. If it turns out I can't run or walk on the treadmill I will bike again.

I sold my racing type road bikes a long time ago. The bike I used is  a nice hybrid Cannondale that is perfect for the gravel trail by my house.  It was a lot of fun to be back on a bike again and the best part it didn't irritate my injured foot.

Good to know. I prefer a nice pair of slacks myself.
