Ice Ice Baby

by blondtwin Email

Last night was biceps and triceps and tonight was the chest workout.

We got done with our inverted press (50 lbs doing 4 sets: 15, 15, 15, 21) and flat bench press (55 lbs same sets) when I went to put my weights away.  My muscles were all quivery from exertion so, when I tried to place the weights on the rack, my hand slipped.  My middle finger got caught on the lip of the rack underneath the weight. 

I'm so proud of myself.  I didn't cry, although it stung like crazy.  Heck, even though it swelled up and hurt to bend, I still finished my workout.  The raised bench press (45 lbs same sets) and the one - I don't know what it's called but you have two sets of weights and you loop the handles around each of your wrists and kind of punch forward with both arms.  Anyway, I only did 10 lbs per arm for that one. 

Then I grabbed the 7kg exercise ball and did 4 sets of crunches, 25, 20, 15, and 30 and hopped on the bike for 30 minutes (8.30 miles).

So, anyway, my finger is swollen and I have a bottle of ice/water that I'm using to try to take the swelling down.   It's still looking pretty fat.

That's odd, just thinking about your finger makes mine ache!?!

This is the time I would say 'Build a bridge..' but hey, great workout. I should have kept my workouts going after Iraq.

Didn't you have to have surgery, though, Eric? I think that'd put a dent in anyone's workout schedule... heh.

Yeh, they are trying to rebuild me to keep me going. 30 years down and still going as an Infantryman.
