Counting Down To 104 Consecutive Weeks and My 53rd Birthday Workout Day

Mas Aqua Por Favor! I know I didn't drink enough water yesterday at work.  Barely finished my Stanley Cup all day.  I do drink water while working out but not nearly enough.  My calf muscles started to twitch and it wasn't even a leg day.  

My triceps and Shoulders are smoked! Chest, Tri and Shoulder day. Home for an easy ride. Tomorrow is Leg Day! pic.twitter.com/8jFRfm0tk7

I increased my weight on two movements and not by choice.  The lighter weights were being used by others.  So that pushed me a bit today.  That's a good thing.  I did feel good in my workout.  I should have hit the Incline BB a bit harder.  By the time I got to shoulders I was gassed out.  As I'm about to hit 53 I'm feeling and looking stronger then ever.  

Here are my In Between Sets Ranting:

Stop laughing. Seriously. Joey Swoll would like that. The One Inch Crew is at it again. There is a small group of older men who lift far too heavy of weight but only have a one inch range of motion. Sometimes not even engaging the muscle intended.

I know not to judge others. I don’t know their restrictions or the reason why they do the movement that way. What I should do is engage conversation with them but hell NO! This is my time for EDM blasting in my ears while caffeine pumps through me.

I know that’s not very “Random Acts of Fitness” of me. But yesterday one of my centers hosted about 50 cyclist and a Walkaway The Pounds class so I’m Acted out. I actually opened one center and closed another so 6:30am to 9:30pm!

Okay enough of the rants.  After my workout I got on the bike for two quick rides.  A 15 minute Pop and a 5 minute Cool Down.

Tomorrow is a Leg Day!  Wahoo.  I look forward to Leg Day.  I got 9 days to my 53rd Birthday.  Not doing anything special.  Just hoping to take a Live Class on the Peloton.  Hopefully get my first Shout Out.  But tomorrow when I ride I'll hit 104 consecutive weeks using the Peloton App and Bike+.
