Sucks about the shoulder man.. What's the wheel-o-death you speak of? Lol. If it's the ab wheel. Those mixed with squats, GMs, and pressing a couple times a week would have my shoulders feeling junky too.

Short day at work then I'm going to the camp. Can't wait. I'll have time tonight to catch up on logs.

Gonna nix them and see if that helps. I've only done them 4 days in the last couple months I believe. Nothing hammers my core more.

What did your kid break now?
Click to expand...

He was detained for shoplifting. Tried to steal a GoPro attachment and fled when caught. After we picked him up from the cop and got home we realized he had brand new flip flops on that he didn't pay for.
 
I hid the camp truck keys in the gas compartment last time I was here and they're gone. I'm so mad.

Anyway, I installed a light bar because the stock lights suck. I can't wait to see it on a dirt road.

I wonder...

The key will activate the fuel pump but the truck has a push button to start it. I wonder if it would still be here if that wasn't the case.

Ahh nice. Good to have that second safety mechanism. And my money would be on no. Unless it was just some hooligans trying to make your day ****ty by taking your keys.

The last time I was down here several guys said they needed to move the truck but it won't start. I kinda laughed, and cranked it up immediately. Guys being dicks is possible. There are a couple unsavory people here.

No, my parents would have killed me. But I'm an academic. Go read some of the literature on extremely harsh parenting. See how the kids turn out.

The not-so-harsh parenting is why we are where we are at today. That didn't work for him. He expected a slap on the wrist. Phone is gone TBD, and his summer is gone.

He also has to do a juvenile delinquent program and will end up with community service hours and drug tests. Speaking of, his 25yo brother decided to tell us he is certain that he's been smoking weed with these friends. He doesn't need to spend the summer with them anyway.
 
Found the truck keys. Kiddo hid the way back in the wheel well in a hole.
 
I like your style with the parenting. That is how I was raised. However I just learned to not get caught and got way way way worse as I got older. There is still so much my parents don't know

I got away with a lot too. My hope is the next time he wants to take something he remembers this summer

Lights on the truck turned out great. Next time I'm down I need to run a new thermostat. I think it's running hot.

Time to get the diet back in check. I fault weed this weekend. Burned a lot of calories working in the sun, but I wasn't prepared food wise.
 
That arm workout was awesome a few days ago. Truck lights killer...

About the boy. Looks like you handled that as best as we parents can (who the hell knows anymore... as you know i have dealt with my fair share of sh1t).
 
I got sick at work yesterday and ended up coming home from work early. Staying home today to rest and install security cameras. Chest day, too.

We bought the set before this all happened but it's now a priority to get them up quickly because of it. We have a few garages and lots of valuables. Thieving is becoming popular during the summer months around here.

I never said I wasn't. I should've clarified, the GMs weren't done with 1m rests. Outside the occ superset, I rested about 1.5m.
 
I made the choice to screw my diet in hopes to recover from being sick faster. I guess it worked.

Instead of starting back with the 11 day carb fast I'm just going to jump straight into low carb all days but 1. If I'm doing as much out in the heat as I have been the last couple weeks it may be two days with smaller windows.

Yesterday I put band hooks on my garage gym equipment. I can now do bench, leg curls, preacher curls, cable curls, cable rows, pulldowns, pushdowns, etc. all band resisted. Once I get a rack and the bench is in a permanent position I'll attach u bolts to the ceiling for reverse banded.
 
I still have a nasty cough and I'm tired as hell. Maybe this rest day will help and tomorrow will be great.

Wife got me a deep tissue massage for Saturday. Looking forward to it.
