It’s been an interesting day.
Not “bad,” just… “interesting.”

I’ve been in and out of meetings for the better part of the day. The first meeting was for benefits open season. Straightforward and to the point. The second meeting is…was…has been… about our new console system; we have a couple of reps from the manufacturer here to help with training and setup. Too bad that some of our [expletive deleted] servers don’t want to play with the shiny new system.

Workout
Wes, Mark and I went for an abbreviated workout today. It was better than not going at all. Today’s workout included:

  • Bench press: 3 sets/10 reps (2 sets – 185 lbs; 1 set – 155 lbs)
  • Fly (machine): 3 sets/10 reps, 100 lbs (10 sec hold on 10th rep)
  • Back Extensions (machine): 3 sets/12 reps, 120 lbs
  • Tricep Extensions (rope): 3 sets/10 reps, 60 lbs
  • Leg Raises (Roman Chair): 2 sets/20 reps

I tried another max bench press today. Just for grins, I tried 300 pounds. I was successful in getting the bar off my chest, but that was about it. I dropped back down to 250 pounds; no worries.

Today’s post-workout weight: 182.0 pounds.  In thinking about it over the past few days, I think that staying between 175 and 185 will be good.

Stray Toasters

  • Under Maryland Streets, Ties to African Past
  • I was tooling around the Interweb earlier, looking for more pics of Arkham Asylum figures. I didn’t find them, but I did find a list of the dials for the figs on HCRealms. As if that wasn’t enough, I then found: Presidential Clix. That’s right, someone Photoshopped pictures of the candidates as HeroClix figures. From right to left, the figures are: Maverick, Captatin Cold, Black Lightning and Bizarro #1.
  • How to Take a Punch
  • SaraRules pointed out Rain Words, a nice time-waster diversion.
  • pointed out that my birthday apparently falls on “World Zombie Day” this year.

Tonight: Cleaning up the apartment for company Friday night.
Tomorrow: Arkham Asylum and… maybe… sushi?

Namaste.
