Remember that talk about needing sleep? My body is getting there. Been napping the past few days, and this morning I slept in HARD. So I got to the gym late.

A good reminder why I like working out alone. 🙂

Nothing bad… it’s just like Gossamer from the Looney Tunes short “Hair-Raising Hare”:

🙂

Everything was what it was. I have been thinking about a deload week, but I may not. Things work-wise are shifting and I actually should be able to get some good sleep. So, I’ll just see how I feel and go from there.

The rotator cuff work will slowly ramp up… but all in all, I think it will be good for me.

Oh, and to the kid that came into the gym before I left that proceeded to put 135# on the bar and half-squat it, then put 185# and third-squatted it… dude, I’m no authority, but I do know that you’ll get more out of life if you do what works and stop feeding your ego by half-assing things.
