Incline DB press?

Yeah, it's just too much right now.

No mountain over the weekend. Serious family stuff blocked it.

Did get back in on Sunday for two circuits of dumbbell bench, db inclined curls, and db lateral raises, followed by a couple heavy sets of leg press + calf raises. Didn't have the heart or energy to do more, but was glad I made time for at least that much self maintenance.

All you can do sometimes!

I hope things get better for you, and even showing up at the gym with everything else going on says a lot about you.

That's very kind of you.

My oldest friend, a brother of choice, just got a terminal cancer diagnosis. This Spring they were hoping he had another 10 years or so. A week ago unexpected metastasis made them estimate he might only have 10-14 months, and as of Friday they updated that to 10-14 days. Yesterday he honored me with the request that I help his wife organize and hold his memorial service.

I feel like if I had a different temperament anger might be pushing me to vent it with the iron right now, but I'm feeling more enervated and humbled. Though determined to do the best I possibly can for him, his wife, his young daughters and mother, and both of our (younger) brothers. Of the four of us he is the oldest and I am about a year behind. Our brothers are both really torn up by it, and I need to be the best man I possibly can for them all.

I'm so sorry for you and your friend, Mannahnin. That's awful.

Last night I sat at home, ate half a large pizza and had a beer.

But at least I got to bed at a decent hour and managed my morning exercises today. Onward.

I need to go back to 6 days a week.

Upper yesterday minus the 85's, was too 'easy' and I'm not gaining weight anymore.

Tweaked something in my lower back on Sunday doing RDLs so I’ve backed off this week and just been doing 3 or 4 miles of rucking the past couple of days to get some cardio and loosen up my muscles a bit.

I’ve fought a couple of times. Sunday before last I brushed a rib pretty bad. Still having issues laughing and sneezing and laughing and etc. but I’m ok.

Got a fight this weekend. Going to armor up and see. My other workouts have suffered a lot a lot, it I started stretching and running more! So that’s good.
