Saturday's crash of the Hindenberg

Saturday's workout was one I'd like to forget.

Hip swings
Situps
Shoulder complex

Flat bench
2 x ?? x bar
5 x 135
5 x 225
5 x 275
2 x 315
1 x 340 A grinder. Should not have been that tough.
1 x 380 x 52 ragex nt
1 x 415 x " " " much tougher than it should have been. Mike might have nudged the rt side at the top.
m x 415 x " " " left arm locked out just fine. Rt arm seemed to fire @ 50%. No pain, just no go.
m x 415 x " " " Came close to touching on this one. I'd like to thank gravity for the assist. I'd like to blame the shirt riding up as my problem, but it's not. Rt arm didn't seem to fire at all. Very weird.

4 board
1 x 2 x 365 Wanted 3 but rt arm just quit.

Single arm rope pushdown/extension thingies.
Hammer curls.

20 min treamill walk
10 min eliptical
15 min bike

Feel absoulutely beat up today. Don't know if it's more mental or physical at this point. Rt arm was acting weaker on Thursday. I thiought it was farther along than it is. I'm thinking of skipping the April meet and just work raw doing more single arm movements to bring things up more even. There is an AAU meet in September that I can lift raw in.

Cold weather is making the knees sore. Dropping weight isn't a bad idea. Just feel pissy and whiney. Played some Foghat @ 24 on the way home. Old guy brain floss. That helped a bit.

Concerned that the build up in the Persian Gulf means we will get involved in Iran as well. That is a different ball game. They may be nutbags but they are well trained, dedicated nutbags and they hate us with a passion. Our press just doesn't get it.

I read an article about changes the 60's brought on. A negative one is that the idea of team has been pushed aside and is replaced by the idea of the big 3: me, myself and I. It's all about personal satisfaction. Many times to the detriment of others. Look @ the NBA. Very few teams use old school plays and systems, teamwork. It does work but the game and the team have become secondary to the superstar. And we buy the jerseys and go to the games and thereby supporting this nonsense.

Maybe that's why I enjoy college sports more than the pro's. There are still the superstars but there are still teams that working as a unit within a system can overcome much more than a superstar with a supporting cast.

A group working together in unison toward a common goal is greater than the some of it's parts.

Things are going to get very weird here in the next little while.

God Bless !
