Upper body Couplets

My body is beat up!  Schedule, stress, inconsistent training.  Not sure what is the issue but I am a mess.  Just kind of existed this morning.

Performed in Couplets
Reps per set were:
12 - 11 - 10
Spider-Man curls @ 60lbs I think/Pull-ups
KB Curls @ 55lbs / 1 Rope climb
Bent over curl rows @ 85lbs / Alpha Press @ 70lbs KB
Arnold Press @ 30/35/40 lbs / Leaning flys @ 15lbs each side each set
Grenade Press @ 90lbs / Lawnmower Pulls @ 90lbs

Tried to do 100 crunches between exercises for the first few Couplets.  Forgot by last 2 couplets.  I was trying to finish so I could get home.

9/23/16 - good ride in am and a hard ride at pm practice

AM - 3 miles

PM - 6 miles, Abs

9/21/16 - Holy cow!

Long run day.  Anna's truck broke down at the 10 mile turn around.  Had to tow it back in to the shop.    Started driving Chevy back to school.  Got 200 meters from the intersection of Hartford and Division and there was a guy and his wife pushing their car.  I jumped out and pushed them to Chicago street.  I would bet an easy 1/2 mile of pushing that car.  I was dripping with sweat and fried.  And of course the dang fitness tracker I wear tracked none of it because my arm was pushing the car not swinging.  I was pretty hacked.  Wanted to get a workout in today but the truck breaking down shattered that plan. Ended up getting a good workout in.

Hard Bike

Biked a solid 12 miles with the kids on Max Loop.

Got a flat (again) but this time I was just a spot over a mile from school.  I did have to walk up the monster hill.

9/13/16 Home CC meet

Set up and break down not to mention coaching.  Hit 20,000 steps on the fit counter by the end of the day and that was not even calculating the time on the bike.

9/12/16 Painting course at practice

Would not usually count this.

The attachment was lost for the painter behind the kabota.  I had to walk pushing that sucker the whole way.

9/10/16 T-post driving - PM

set the rest of the posts for the meet

Drilled my head with the top of the post driver.  It caught the post and I had my hands high so I literally drove the driver into my head.  Busted my head pretty good.  Had thick CC ball hat on.  Probably kept me from getting more damage.  Saw stars and stumbled around the field for a while.  No stitches needed.  No way I was not concused.

Description I sent to Jen.  Right after it happened.

Driving one of the tall t-posts for the chute.  Top was over my head.  I lifted up for the drive down, the bottom lip of the driver caught on the post.  The solid steel top where my hands were on the handles plummeted to my head with the help of all my force I was using to hit the pole.  I feel like I stabbed a knife into my head through to the roof of my mouth.  What a great end to a beautiful day 😡.
