Turff49 Quest for Success

Yeah. Think I'll delete the app and reinstall. See if that takes care of it.
 
If not, post it in Site Updates. You may not be the only one.
 
Re installation took care of it, thankfully!

Not been on the road really the past few weeks. But, I work on bids and deal with clients on the phone all day. Then after I'm off that job I work on stuff for my other employer(environmental) in the evenings and weekends. That work was only suppose to be 4-5hrs a week, last week I had almost 30 hours. So, basically a 70-75hr week. Rained out today so I can't go and sample wells today like I had planned. I'll be traveling some this week, should just be day trips. The weekend stuff should end in late June/July. My bank account is enjoying it...lol

Short and sweaty workout. Now to eat and just vegetate today.

Everyone be sure and tell their moms they love them. Once they are gone it's too late...
 
Nice sessions, the both of them. Stealing your lat Pulldown variation for tomorrow.

A guy was on the hammers strength next to me yesterday. Big dude, and was doing singles with 360. (Why on earth you'd do singles, I dunno).

I was thinking, Brian would be reppin' those out. lol
 
Was this the HS Chest Press? I've seen a guy do them like that except he was turned kind of sideways. Looked like an easy way to get injured...

On the lat pull downs: I'm able to really focus entirely on the lats when I do these. I'll hang just a few seconds prior to pulling down so I can really engage the lats and then I squeeze my shoulder blades together as I get to the chest.

Yes. He would lay back and do one rep, then go talk for 5 or so minutes and come back and do another. People kept asking if it was free...

Thanks, I'll do these. Sounds similar to a Stretcher but with a different grip.
 
Lol! Retired...probably will never happen. Work keeps me young...lol
 
Rest day! Checked my weight this morning - 206. Haven't done cardio in forever. Surprised my weight isn't higher. Time to recomp a little.... maybe 5-6lbs.
 
Its amazing how your "light to medium" weight is heavy for most!...I got to watch several people with there interesting techniques this morning as I was doing cardio! Even saw a trainer doing 1/8 reps on incline with 225....
 
Like Kat said ...... even your 'light' days are pretty damned heavy! Awesome work

I really liked those medium grip pulldowns too. Nice string lat work man.
 
Legs was light and easy. Tomorrow is chest. Then another rest day on Sunday. This week has been a pretty "casual" lifting week. Next week will be more regimented and structured. I'll also start posting routines up in depth
 
Lol!!

My left is definitely stronger than my right. 150 would be no problem with my left. I struggled to get 140 6 times with my right. Gotta work on that...
Thanks Simon!
 
140 is insane!! You're so strong!! Strong Pulldowns too!
