Just back from the gym. Today’s workout was easily as good as Tuesday’s. I managed to pull off two reps of 300 pounds today. The reps were spaced out: I tried one, to prove that Tuesday wasn’t a fluke, waited for Eric to try one, then did another. The second one was a little slow, but I moved it. And, I increased my standard bench weight to 225 pounds.
  • Bench press: 225 pounds / 3 sets of 8 reps
  • Wide-grip bench press: 135 pounds / 3 sets of 10 reps
  • Decline dumbbell press: 40 pounds / 2 sets of 10 reps; 45 pounds / 1 set of 15 reps
  • Dumbbell pull-overs: 40 pounds / 3 sets of 10 reps
  • Side bends: 35 pounds /3 sets of 15 reps
  • Crossover dumbbell curls: 20 pounds / 3 sets of 10
  • Pull-ups: 10

Other than that, the work day has been good.

The day, in general, has been good.

And tomorrow is Friday. Amen.

  • and I were talking about some of the traffic on his site and I decided to take a look at the traffic on mine. I checked out the monthly stats… and the daily stats… and who’s been looking at the site… and the Top 10 Search Keyphrases and Keywords.

    And that’s where I stopped.

    Because I was laughing so hard.
    Number one search keyphrase: KKK

    *FLOOR*

    The overall exchange went a little something like this:

    [10:54] : Okay… want to see something odd?
    [10:59] : sure, shoot
    [11:15] : [URL]
    [11:15] : Bottom of the page
    [11:15] : “Search Keyphrases”
    [11:15] : Look at the #1
    [11:20] : HA!
    [11:20] : Yeah.
    [11:20] : 🙂
    [11:20] : something in your closet we should know about?
    [11:20] : These are not the hood and robes you are looking for….
    [11:20] : i love irony
    [11:21] : “this don’t look like no grand wizard”
    [11:22] : Wow.
    [11:22] : Horrible crossover thought.
    [11:22] : and that is?
    [11:23] : I’ve had random songs from The Wiz going through my head. (Listened to the Broadway recording many times as a child… and recently bought it on CD for myself)
    [11:23] : There’s a song called So You Wanted to See The Wizard
    [11:24] : HA
    [11:24] : …which just got reparsed in my head as: So You Wanted to See the Grand Wizard
    [11:24] : that should be your song o’ the day
