Now if only I had a pumpkin

STRENGTH 1hr

Visited with Dad today, he came to lab meeting, then late brekkie, then some basement cleanup, then appt. Miss him already!

The title line comes from his comment after his appt, when we looked over the rails and down 6 floors to the atrium of the medical building where a pianist and flutist (?) were playing. A pumpkin! LOL!

Second personal training today: kettlebell swings 10# with one arm OK, squat thrust with over head press NOT OK (coulda taken some teeth out with a wandering left dumbbell!), more deltoid/rhomboid shoulder work OK, hamstring OK, leg press OK (and LOVE), split squats OK but wobbly on right leg, cable curls NOT OK my left elbow kept wandering backwards, and what else...might be it.

At first I'm disappointed that I barely break a sweat and it seems slow. But then I realize that done my way I HURT after strength training! I'm doing it wrong! So this is good, and he's balancing focused moves, still in testing, but now working on the right/left hip imbalances left from the surgery.

Overheard at PT: It's a long way to the top, if you want to rock n roll...
