Idlehands Lifting and flirting with being Hodge

[Idlehands]

Not much to report. Working too much. Way way too much. I need a vacation. Like . A real honest to god vacation. Though I really don't want to go alone. I'm my own worst enemy.

Bench felt fun though. Hip was unhappy though.

Bench: 310x4x8 Lots of reps
Dips: 45x12x4, 18

Getting close to time to pay for my surgery!

Thursday:

Bench! 340x2x7 Triples would have been a little much but doubles went well. Felt good.
Pull ups: 5 sets of them
OHP: 145- I dunno I didn't count but 8s and 5s
Curls: 55s then 40s 15 reps or so. Good stuff

Ok so dating not so easy. Trying to win someone over that I think I screwed things up with. Sent flowers. Then when she texted I didn't see it cause I had been out drinking with friends for my birthday and missed it. Whoops! I have to say, my friends did not help, haven't seen this girl in quite awhile and they ended up grilling me. "why did you screw it up with her!?, we wanted to hang out with her more! She was awesome" "Gee thanks guys, I am still kicking myself but this helps. Get me another round please!"

Trying to avoid dates on grindr. That would solve a lot of my issues I think!
Good news is girl is talking to me. Bad news is she doesn't believe I won't be wishy washy again. She can't quite bring herself to say no however.


Bench is coming back. Hoping after surgery when I can add in some more work I'll get bench back to PR territory. I'm actually hanging out at almost 220bodyweight these days which is good for those work trips but not as good for bench numbers.

Speaking of bench:

At my parents house, so went to the basement. All kinds of mismatched plates cause their cat was growling and hissing at me so I couldn't get to the plates I wanted to lift.

320x3x8
chins;10,10,forgot to count
Couldn't get to chins or rows .

Seriously, I had to call my mom when I wanted to leave the basement to shoo the cat away. thing was hissing and growling at me. evil crazy sociopath! Giant mental main coone. Thing has attacked me and kid so often when we visit the fucker is banished to the basement.

Even better than the threat of attack, the bench is a bit too high. It's a custom weld job by my dad and his friends that was modeled after our favorite bench at the gym we went to back in the day. it's a good bench it's just about 2" too high off the floor. Someday we should cut it down. Usually i put a board or three under my feet so i'm able to get heel drive.

Monday!
Buddy with a neck tattoo came over to lift. Haven't seen him in ages. Let's call him Petals. Guess what the tattoo is?

Bench:
300x6x7 This was some work. Made it happen.
Chins: Bunches 5 sets
OHP: 150x4x4 feeling good.

[Idlehands]

Bench: 325x3x7 no drama off we go

Friday:
work kicking my ass but managed some pool time at lunch and then when some friends came over to do their laundry. Love the spur of the moment pool. Also remembered last minute I was supposed to bench:

bench: 355x1 375x1 385x1 heaviest i've been in ages. 385 felt a little slow.
315x4x6
Kiddo wanted to swim so bailed
saturday:
took kiddo to water park.
then
overhead press 155x4x4
curls 50s x 10x 5

Petals came over again Monday so we hit bench. I should sell memberships!

Bench:
305x6x7 wicked pump after this for some reason
Dips/Chins 10 minute densisty super set. 45's on the dips. Maybe this was what caused the pump.

Then I swam around in the pool for a bit. Diet is a little iffy lately. up from 222 to 226 this Monday. THen I had some more chips that were left over for the weekend. Don't expect to hit 225 today. have to get this back on point, but man, drinks and cigars all summer is kinda my jam so far.

then another friend....one of kiddos baby sitters... came over and we had some drinks and watched a movie. Not a bad wednesday. Thursday was all day drinking and pool and eating too much. May have had a little too much sun.

Yes, heal quickly.

What did they do in surgery?

[Idlehands]

Yes, heal quickly.

What did they do in surgery?

repaired the labrum tear, shaved up the femoral head to make it more spherical. arthroscopic 

kinda neat. doesn't hurt much but can't put weight on it. expected it to hurt like a bitch. this is difficult cause i bet i could limp around which they say no don't.

FIS for the win. #scottish hips.
see when the other goes. ugh
