Trials of a woodpusher: Adventures in chess, backyard gardening, and maybe whisker chopping

[NurseDave]

You know, when Arnold was trying to get bigger I think he ate every two hours or something.

Don't want to lose all my mass because of one extra wafer thin mint

Feb.27: Sensor(27) ............................ Omega boar ............ Palmolive stick ...................... Nivea Cool Sensitive

The month is almost over; one more shave with the Sensor cart.
Workout was 35 mins on the elliptical with 3x7 @70lb bench press and 100' @100lbs farmer's walk.

I call dibs when you work up to piggy back rides

Feb.28: Sensor(28) ............................ Omega boar ............ Palmolive stick ...................... Nivea Cool Sensitive

After 28 shaves, we're done with the Sensor cart! Woohoo!!

In preparation for the @NurseDave piggy-backs, I swapped out my 25lb plates on my barbell with 10lb and 5lb plates to fit more weight on the EZ-curl bar. The EZ-curl is now almost fully loaded @150lbs (counting the 15lb bar itself) but I can probably swap out some plates to fit my last unallocated 5lbs onto it.

Workout was 100' @150lbs farmer's walk, 3x7x2 @50lb dumbbell rows, followed by 35 mins on the elliptical.


It's Sunday, so here's my anti-progress on my weight gain ....

 

[NurseDave]

Odd, looks the same this way.

I feel like there’s a stunt shave in the making here somewhere

Weight gain, you're doin' it wrong.

 

[woodpusher]

Goal is muscle weight gain, not just wait gain. BTW I see you're getting down close to the target piggy-back goal. Well done!

Muscle is coming along, but I am probably still not back to where I was pre-marriage from an overall fitness level.

Mar.03: ASD2 w/Indian-Wilkie(3) ......... Chubby2, synth ....... Palmolive stick ...................... Nivea Cool Sensitive

A small weeper below the corner of the mouth this morning, but nothing that my normal post-shave alum block application couldn't address.

Today's workout was:
- 100' @150lbs farmer's walk
- 3x7 @70lb bench press
- 35 mins on the elliptical

Nondescript shave today, just like they are supposed to be.

Much like mine, Sam. I have no need for dramatic shaves!

You know, when Arnold was trying to get bigger I think he ate every two hours or something.

Of course, years later he needed open heart surgery, though I think it was a mitral valve.

Yes, his valve couldn't handle his manliness!

Mar.07: ASD2 w/Indian-Wilkie(7) ......... Omega boar ............ Palmolive stick ...................... Nivea Cool Sensitive

The Indian Wilkie blade was surprisingly nice. I could easily go another few shaves on it, but will swap it out for another one.

- 3x7 @70lb bench press

Weight-wise, my struggles to gain continue.
