I'm just usually focused on what I'm doing, in a hurry, or both. I used to take time to smile at strangers, but then people started getting less social & just looked at me weird. So, now they get the RBF.

I thought my back arms where going to explode! Glad it was my last exercise because I wasn't lifting anything else after those

I was told to smile all the time while I lived in Florida. There is a lot of psychology involved with that seemingly small statement. Sometimes people seem threatened by the intensity and focus. In Montana the phrase 'no worries' is used a lot. The people saying it are the most stressed out and worrisome.

After leg day on Wednesday & PIYO last night....I am extremely thankful for elevators today. Carrying a sleeping toddler up 3 flights of stairs may have ended me. LoL!! I'm officially waddling like I'm 9 months pregant.
Very thankful today was a rest day, although I've been going all day. Going to try to get a weekend pass to the O2 Fitness nearby, tonight, so I don't have to miss any sessions.

Haha, I noticed a big difference in this between the North and South. Florida, Texas, everyone is so nice and happy. Ohio? Everyone seems to be scowling. It was an adjustment, lol. I see every woman walking around with the RBF...

I'm in the South though. I just think people, in general, are becoming less friendly & more about themselves. If someone smiles at me, I smile back. However, I no longer go out of my way to smile at complete strangers when I'm usually met with swowl in return.

Uh oh, it's finally hitting the South... I blame technology. I know I sound like an old man, but even my friends are so absorbed with their phones they have no time to be generally friendly, they just seem preoccupied. Tis sad.

I really enjoyed the full body workout, and am definitely going to feel some of it tomorrow. Workout took longer than I wished, because this gym is always crowded & I had to wait for/find needed equipment a couple of times. Oh well...it's only 2 days, then back in our gym!! Going to take the nugget swimming, after fueling up.

It was a decent amount of food (not huge though), but I needed it. After yesterday's workout, and spending a lot of time in the pool I wasn't where I needed to be macro wise.

Maybe yates84 wished he were here, now. Doing DL's in the gym & I got hit on. I was told how sexy it is to see a female doing deads....and doing them properly. Apparently not too many females do them at this gym. He tried to strike up a convo, but since I was in the middle of my workout I cut him short & went back to lifting!!

Not sure it was that. He even threw in how nice I looked all sweaty. I look like hell this morning. Don't think his intentions were just flattery. I think he had something else in mind.

Uh oh..gym creeper alert! When dudes start talking to my wife and don't realize I'm there I calmly walk over to the bench where they are pressing and start curling it. Lol. then take off the my shirt revealing all the tattoos. Then quietly walk by and slap her on the ass! Problem solved.

Hack squats

Leg extensions

Smith machine calf raises
3×12 w/ 6 plates
Seated calf raises

Feeling good even though nobody hit on me. Just a couple of fat chicks on the treadmill so I'm not complaining. Could barely push in the clutch on my car when I left the gym and that is a good indication of a kick ass workout. Now to eat as many carbs as possible.....

About 1987 I worked at a Ford Dealership and one of my gym buddies came in to buy a new Mustang, he said I want an automatic, I told him a stick wad much more fun and more mainly, he explained he was getting rid of his stick shift because he could barley make it how after leg day. HaHa !!

Except he was 2 hrs away. Not sure he'd notice if he were with me. He doesn't notice much around him when he's working out.
Hey...at least those girls were working out.

I hate an automatic, love my 6 speed. I would push the clutch with my hand if that's how it had to be done.
