Sunday, Monday & Tuesday

Hey guys! Below you will find all three days work and such. I would like for everyone in my little circle to keep a wonderful friend of mine in their thoughts and prayers please. His name is John and he has to have a quadruple bypass sometime soon. He was displaying no symptoms and was scheduled to have back surgery. The Anesthesiologist, though horrible in her approach, cancelled the surgery because of the results of a stress test conducted in January. They promptly did a heart cath and found that he would have to have surgery and there is also something in his kidneys- creotin?- or something that will have to be cleared before he can have the bypass. He is very sick and no one knew including him. Thank you for keeping him in your thoughts and prayers- Love and Hugs all around.

Lower Body today!! Did the following:

Three machines on the back wall of gym they can’t remember the names but I will try to describe them:
1. The machine that you put your shoulders under the pads and lift up with your legs (works calf muscle)- did on 70 lbs – 2 sets of 15
2. The Glute machine- you lay on your tummy and put your foot on the bar and push straight out with your foot- did 70 lbs – 2 sets of 15
3. Did the hip adductor and hip inductor – or whatever it is- lol.. all I know is you have the pads on the inside of your thighs for one set and you push in … then the next set you have the pads on the outside of your thighs and you push out- did 70 lbs – 2 sets of 15

Then I did the Hoist Leg Press because the other one was taken ( I also skipped two of the machines on back wall because they were being used by a group taking turns). I did the leg press on 83 lbs- level 4- did 3 sets of 15 one set was just on toes.
