Happy hump day pals! I hope your week is just kicking butt!!! It sure feels good to be healed up enough to get back after it this week! Launched it Monday with leg day as week 6 calls for but in order to keep cranky knee on the mend I focused on the same muscle groups but attacked’em utilizing the stations available at Planet Fitness, being seated calf press, leg extension & leg curl. Now the other adaption I needed to employ was a slight tweak on the extensions station as orthodoc said to get this critter healed & need to focus more on high reps than higher weight on extensions so I followed doctor’s orders like a good bear & just double the recommended reps but at about 2/3 the load I would’ve otherwise gone after & overall the workout felt awesome especially considering I’d been out of it for over a week!
Tuesday I lit into HIIT as prescribed but then in order to keep up come Wednesday I pulled BIs & TRIs ahead & hit intensity PRs on every exercise!!! My BIs & TRIs were fried by mid afternoon & full on throbbing DOMs this AM when it came time for chest, shoulders & back. Had a skull cramp & had printed my sheet for today before leaving but forgot & left it lying on the desk. I knew it was UBWO day but slipped a gear thinking it was higher reps so hit 15s on all the sets like last time duh!!! Having been away a bit there weren’t any new PRs on the docket especially since the BIs & TRIs were already half running scared BUT the work got done! On the last superset, going for 15 reps, wound up hitting 8s or 9s then had to stop, breathe a few seconds then crank out the last 6 or 7 reps but again… the iron got ground!
Found out for certain yesterday AM that next week I’m going to be on a supplier training tour of the great white northern regions of Wisconsin & Minnesota so, while on the road, living out of a duffle bag I’ll have to do my best to make proper food choices, focusing on Compliance extra hard, but I’m nearly positive that the hotels I’ve selected all offer cardio gear of some sort but weather permitting this Griz loves to walk too! Last Saturday, since I didn’t have to work the side job all weekend, even being 96F outside when I started I hit the bison park & tackled both the woodlands & wetlands 5K loops and even got some cool pics with my new Android smart phone while chatting with my sweetie Suz. I love hiking in that park & can‘t wait until this fall when we’ve planned a visit for her to come share it with me for a great day either before or after we head over to explore the Ozark Mountains during the nation’s second largest motorcycle rally, “Bikes, Blues & BBQ” which will be an experience ALL its own!!!
Rock on pals! Your crazy Memphis pal, Griz
Great work back at it! Love the pics! and can't wait to join you!

I was a real fitness fan for quite a long time. What helped me to improve my workouts was Navy Seal Formula by Military Grade. I've first tried it a year ago, and since then I do not experience lack of stamina anymore! My reps have gone up and I still had energy to burn after a workout that would have left me drained before. I've lost over 50lbs in the past year. I wish I new of this product when I first started my train and diet. I'm now losing fat and putting on muscle much faster.
