2009...
I had hand surgery on my, ahem, “strong hand.”
I was single at the time :(
Six weeks of “strong hand” in a cast :-O
You KNOW where I’m going with this.
After 3-4 weeks I finally attained ambidexterity :)
Fuck yeah, bro!

... back at the gym tonight after 3 unintended days off. Feels good!

Props to everyone; lots of very interesting workout routines!

Im actually left handed. My left bicep is weaker than the right. Weird.
 
Hmmm, not too weird. Right handed in day to day tasks, left handed in sports tasks. Left arm is stronger. Go figure.
 
Friday nights at the gym are the best!

Shoulders and abs.

Happy Friday everyone!

Beau, how many strokes per minute on the row machine? I’ve intro’d rowing to my warm up. Feels good!

Ever have one of those days where the 35-lb plate feels like the 45-lb plate?

Haha....

McDonald's for lunch today.

Big Mac
Medium Fries
10 piece nuggets
Medium Sprite

But I did my morning leg workout so it’s okay. Added some weight and did enough reps.

However, Beau does inspire me to clean up my diet. Last year I was pretty damn strict for a period of time. I’m typing this so I will follow through.
 
Today:

Row machine (22 s/min per Beau; requires more effort than 30 s/min so thnx to Beau)
Delts (DB press, lateral raises, face pulls, rear flyes)
Treadmill
Flabs
Bodyweight squats
Bar dips

Check out Jeff Cavaliere’s vid on how to do face pulls:

10 am: 3 eggs, wheat toast, Trader Joe’s vegan patty (24g of protein)

Dinner: TBD (probably vegan)
Before bed: Stoppani protein shake

Full lay-back stroke is a must.

Sixteen hours at work today, and almost ten miles recorded on my Garmin. Part of my motivation is to be able to outwork the twentysomething kids on big projects like this. :)

Depends on the goal-for me, it's simulating a scull. Back when I competed we'd do 30 strokes/min for a long distance race, and for sprints we'd drop out the back aspect of a stroke (for the first few hundred meters) and get up over 38, dropping down to 34/36 for a race pace.

And form mattered no end, because if you didn't do it right.....

The marathon training continues.

Got my run in today. 48 degrees and raining.
 
Go Dave Go!

I ran my hill this weekend. Parent duties prevented me from paddling with the outrigger folks on Sunday.

I did not make the first draw for the Escape from Alcatraz Triathalon. I have one more shot at it. I need a focal point to keep motivated. I'm hoping to be able to do that event.
 
REALLY did not want to get up this morning - but did (after hitting the snooze once, but before my "second" alarm). 33 minutes on the elliptical getting to max HR and in my working zone for quite awhile.

Then it was Back/Triceps today.

New gym is working out pretty well. By the time I'm done with my workout, the group class people have cleared out, leaving only a few of us in there at all - so I don't even feel guilty hogging one of the two showers while getting ready for work LOL.
