    Climbing’s rad. It’s like lifting weights in the woods. Which is something you would never do. I mean even if you thought lifting weights is rad, and it is, you would never do it in the woods. You would do it in a gym. But gyms suck. So if you’ve ever sat in the gym, between sets, and thought how rad lifting is but how sucky the gym is, you might want to take the weights to the woods and lift them there. But that would be silly. You would just go climbing instead.

early shoulders at GVAC

Like Tuesday’s chest routine, I started sets on the 2:00 today. Felt OK.

Shoulders down and back, elbows up,… Continue reading early shoulders at GVAC

first iron

So, I got up at 5:30 this morning to lift at the shed. It, of course, was rad. First iron is always rad. You need to be pretty committed to be the first dude to handle the weights in the morning. Same old thing today – bench, close-grip bench, incline bench. And I finished with… Continue reading first iron
