Training day 06-14-2013

Well this trip to the gym started off with a couple near misses.

A few blocks from my house I was approaching a gas station. Some woman in a nice Lexus SUV looked directly at the oncoming traffic, me, and instead of waiting to pull out to the other lane she decides to pull out directly in front of me. I had to slam on the brakes and pray my car wouldn’t crush her legs.

Crisis averted…. but….

A mile up the road another moron decides to make a left turn, at the last minute, with me not too far behind him. Again, brakes slammed.

This is either going to be a good workout or I will die on the way to the gym.

Writing this means I didn’t die, so let’s move on to the workout.

As usual heavier weight is right, lighter weight is left.

I increased the weight a little on some pressing and pulling movements, still won’t push it until I am cleared to go all out.

I made it home without any close calls, thankfully.
