Good to hear you're back's better Tom.

Just some arm work and cardio yesterday. The walk/run strategy on the treadmill has really been fun, and seems to be slowly working off some of the gut fat. My shirt was completely soaked with sweat.

[icehog3]

Good stuff, Bob.

So I wake up and my back is a little goofy again. We'll see how it holds up to military presses.

Leg day, just did accessory movements today letting my thigh rest, and then hit the Precor for 65 minutes of intervals. Back to squats next leg day.

Had a wonky day yesterday for work. Was supposed to work a split shift, so I did about 30 mins of cardio in the morning. Then got sent home early. So I went to the gym and did some legs. Started with the squat machine, hoping to set a new PB. Third set, I start feeling pain in the inner right knee. Wondering if it has something to do with the MCL I tore a few years ago. Feels like the same are. Finished another shortened set, then switched up to goblet squats, hamstring curls, hip adductors, calf raises.

Bob, you're falling apart, My young Brother!

Seriously, hope it's not serious and you can keep training.

Conducted a cardio boxing workout today. 1 person jumps rope for 2 min at a constant rate, 2nd person boxes (works on strikes), 3rd person holds hand bags for striker, then every one rotates after 2 minutes. Did this in 2 min intervals for about an hour (butt kicker).

Once done, we ran a "Murph workout". The "Murph workout" is in dedication to Navy Seal Lt Murphy who received the Medal of Honor in Afghanistan. You may remember the movie "Lone Survivor", its about his team.

After boxing, the "Murph" wore us out, like why did we just do that worn out.....

Here is Lt Murphy's MOH write up (warrior in every degree)

Ya, I'll be sore.....
Time for a C-Gar!!

[icehog3]

Sounds like a butt kicker for sure, Gary. Murphy is a beast, and I don't mind having the same namesake.

Back day today, I thought it was going to be crap workout as I was breathing hard two sets in, but it was the strongest back day I've had in a while, was able to row pretty heavy after pre-fatiguing with the cables.

Killing it there Tom!

Just some simple arms last night. The gym I"m going to is small, tight and usually crowded. They only have one rack of dumbbells, so you're sometimes having to wait for the ones you want.

Did some cardio after. I used to be comfortable at a ~6.7mph pace on the treadmill. Now I"m up to ~7.3. Not sure where that came from. Did 2.5 miles in 20 minutes last night.

[icehog3]

Nice work, Bob! This is the gym in KC where you are for work, right?

Back day for Bonzo. Putting on the foil now.

Wait, wrong sport.

[Chainsaw13]

Yea, it's an Anytime Fitness in Liberty, MO. Very small place, jam packed with equipment. Better than the hotel gym though.

[icehog3]

Glad it's a decent place for you until you're home, Bob.

Back day...super low energy. Ramped the intensity with higher weights and shorter rests.
