New York Eve was nice this year. I started my usual way, but by mid-morning I was at Plate City putting together my new machine. It is a bicep/triceps machine. Being new, unused, and needed, I'm excited about this upgraded to the gym. I found putting this thing together to be extremely difficult.
Titan only sells to people who have a man card. They rarely included instructions. Not to worry, this one only had seven parts. I thought, this will be the easiest one ever. It was, however, the most difficult one ever. I thought about Dad and how he would have pitched a fit. I felt like it. Eventually I got it done, and now I understand that machine. I figured out all seven parts.
At the pool, I swam
1,850 37:15
25 back kick/25 swim
500 for time 8:18
200 small paddles 3:45
100 back 2:25
brick kick
25
100 medium paddles 1:48
total: 2,800 yards = 2,559 meters.
I then did a short shuffle of 2.05 miles. After that, I eagerly went to Plate City for push and to try out the new machine. I benched with the Swiss bar
20 X 38
17 X 88
14 X 108
9 X 113
9 X 113
15 X 88 narrow grip
On the new machine, I did three sets of triceps: 10, 12, and 13 reps at 44 pounds. When I was finished, I had a pump in the tris that I had never felt before. Bingo!
We went to Hillbilly Heaven after dark and enjoyed a good meal and a movie. We watched Harriet. Now I want to read a biography on her. It was a nice day. When we got home, the gunfire started. It really did sound like a war. Pee Wee was terrified. Poor pooch. But we made it. We outlived 2020. Thank you, Jesus.
