    Had my new 76 year old buddy Paul over today.... and my buddy Todd.

    We did our own thing.

    5 minutes of burpees - I got 61
    Shoulder Press 5-5-5-5-5 I only got to 135. Arm still on the mend.

    + Tabata fun

    40x3-65x2-67.5x2-70x2-90x1F-80x1-82.5x1-85x1-87.5x1F

    I actually tried 90 twice. I was almost vertical the first time so I tried it again pretty quickly. I made 95#s last time. All were biceps to rings and a 1 to 2 second lock out at the top.

    Well, my Dad died last night. I must say it is a strange, very sad feeling, even with all the anticipation, but it is good to know he is finally resting and at peace. Cancer is a tough way to go and his battle was especially rough. However, he lived his life well and fought his cancer well. He remained positive to the very end and was an inspiration to many. I would say without a doubt that he won and cancer lost. He died, but he died with his spirit in tact and his will unbroken and he did it on his terms.

    I am really planning on getting back on track with good sleep, less driving, and better eating when I get back from Cheyenne on Sunday.

    Today, messed around with weighted muscle ups. I am fat these days at 215#s, so 20#s is quite a bit to add to that. I did a few with ten and a few with twenty, but I couldn't do one at 25#, so I did 20# with thirty seconds rest and made it through five reps. Even though that is not alot of reps, I think I will be sore tomorrow. It really takes a violent kip and pull to do a weighted muscle up.

    Justin my condolences, this has to be a tough time for you. I dread the day I have to deal with it myself. It sounds like your father was a good man and he has worn off on you. My heart goes out to you, keep your head up.

    RIP Mr. Kallal, hope I spelled that right.

    Justin, sorry buddy... damn, it's OK to feel a void from this, of course. This is the man that raised you and cared for you all of those years. Like I said before, I think you will see each other again, but that doesn't make it all go away. Sorry bro... I loathe the day, but I just focus on enjoying my loved ones as much as I can because none of us knows when our time will come. I do know that time is one currency we all have the same amount of day in and day out... 24 hours a day is all anyone gets. Just try to savor it. Always.

    Dave, dude those are some strong ass weighted ring dips??!!! Wow.

    Justin, Weighted muscle ups? Not bad for a fat kid, right? I wonder if I will ever get an MU. I don't train for it, so what do I expect. I am just damn heavy... 230.... and tall, not a good combo, so they say.

    Regionals start tomorrow. That will be fun to track.
