I went cross country skiing for the first time in probably 20 years. It was a lot of fun. We were out for about an hour and a half and got in approximately 6km.
Also, I felt I had some extra energy when we got home so I went for a workout with my brother. [...]

No gym buddy today. My hamstrings were still sore from the deadlifts on Tuesday (don’t think Wednesday’s 150 back extensions helped either). I opted for this exercise instead:
2 Sets Wide Grip Pullups
3 Sets Seated Rows followed by 3 sets 1 arm Seated Rows
3 Sets Lat Pull Downs
3 Sets Reverse Dumbbell Flies
3 Sets Bicep Curls (40lb,35lb,25lb)
3 [...]
Today’s workout was as follows:
Shoulder press 1-1-1-1-1 reps (185lb,205lb,225lb,235lb,255lb)
Push press 3-3-3-3-3 reps (115lb,95lb,45lb,45lb,45lb)
Push jerk 5-5-5-5-5 reps (45lb,45lb,45lb,45lb,45lb)
15 close grip, underhanded chin ups.
I’m still having a hard time differentiating between push press and push jerk. I understand the theory behind them. The push press you’re supposed to dip and then drive through using your upper body, [...]

I had some more juice in the tank so I threw in 50 45lb (bar) back squats.

They say one of the worst things to do financially is to not know where you are – financially. A lot of people choose the ostrich approach to finances – bury your head in the sand and forget about it. It will sort itself out.
It doesn’t sort itself out. Eventually, you have to pull your [...]
