Thanks Simon.

Yes, I work every other Saturday. At least unit hunting season.
 
Outstanding workout! Heck I thought I got up early(0515), that 15 minutes makes all the difference in the world!

No joke. I get up at 0330 during the week so I can workout, and it wears me out sometimes.

Thanks Turff.

I've only done rifle hunting (20 yrs), but have a bow and a muzzle-loader to practice for an extended season next year. :)
 
Off day from the gym.

Work, then hopefully some college football.

Last year was my first time having symptoms (itching). This past spring the eyes started, and I'd have to pull over and wait for them to stop itching and being light sensitive so I could see. It was horrible (before Rx drops).
 
I've had this weird pulsing twitch on my right tricep, only in the rested state.

No pain, no interference when I worked out tris (or anything else), no cramps, but it's been there for the last 4 or so days.

I wonder what's causing it...
 
I get that from time to time, oddly enough..not really sure the cause, perhaps over-exertion? growth? slight nerve irritation? .... but it is temporary, you'll realize out of the blue one day that "hey, I haven't had any twitches for awhile", and they'll be gone
don't sweat it

I get that randomly too. All different muscles. Usually goes away after a day or so though
 
Yep, I get them too, in the tricep and bicep. Freaks the wife out when it starts, she tells me to quit...like I control it. lol
 
Oh... May be going to look at a pup tomorrow.
 
I get the twitches as well. What breed of pup?
 
Here's a picture of the father of the pup we get to bring home in two weeks. Our girl is solid black though.

Set 2 : 65x8

Set 3 : 125x10
Set 4 : 125x10

Set 2 : 185x6

Banded Squats 357

Set 1 : 225x4
Set 2 : 275x4
Set 3 : 295x4
Set 4 : 315x4 PR (for banded squats)

-Again, didn't do reverse band because the rack wasn't available. I like switching it up anyway.

-These felt really heavy this week and I wasn't as explosive as I should've been. I just wasn't feeling it I really should've stuck with it for a couple more sets at a lower weight but there was a line for the racks.

Set 4 : 1x11 L
Set 5 : 1x11 L
