Incline Smith Press -

Side Lat Raise - 30lb x 12, 12, 12 (Yes, 6 sets total side lats, keeping this simple)
SuperSet #4

Incline SitUps - 15, 15, 15 (been awhile, felt good)

A fella forgets how much work it is to SuperSet everything. Going during an off hour is basically mandatory given how much switching from exercises can be a Pain in the Ass if theres a crowd. Thankfully, the "shoot job gym" is usually empty by 1030pm. Nice pump all over. And good to push myself in this way. Been a while. Looking forward to a cardio only day tomorrow (he says anticipating that he'll still train legs).

A busy few days without training as I dealt with some family obligations and other stuff. Lots of dog walking which is both good and bad. The damned side walks are icy as the dickens and my silly dog likes to yank un expectedly, which makes it hard to balance on all that ice. Aching knees et all.

Yeah yeah… old man problems.

But a nice change to the workouts. While I don't think I'll ever go back to the perpetual drop set training I used to do back in my early 30s, this is a nice compromise - letting me push myself, keep my HR up at a good clip and still move a moderate amount of iron.

Cool.

I'll have more insightful stuff to say / plug soon.
