Awesome Toby. Weights are jumping up every time.

Have not made it to the gym since Wednesday 5/18.  I was planning to go Sunday morning, but was down all day with the worst hangover ever.  Seems we had a little backyard party at our house Saturday evening.

Last night around 9:30 my husband decides it would be a good idea to chop wood in the dark in the back yard, and at 10:00 when I'm ready for bed, he comes in and says he tried to chop off his finger.  The ax somehow bounced and sliced up his left index finger pretty good, but no broken bones or anything.  We spent the next three hours in the ER getting it stitched up.  I'm not a big coffee drinker, but I need some coffee this morning.  Gym bag is in the car ready for this evening. 

[sakustoms]

Sorry to hear about the hubby's injury, hope everything is ok. Not sorry to hear about the hangover, you did that to yourself.

[Bando]

that's a rough Sunday

[tobymax]

Yeah it was a rough Sunday.  About once a year I have one big drunk like that, and every time I swear never again.  It was a fun party though!

[XavierNusum]

Yikes!
My kinda guy though. Need to chop wood, it's 10 at night, eff it, wood gotta get chopped. OUCH that freaking hurt....
sounds like a past run in I had with a "dull" lawn mower blade one evening...... Long story short I have all my fingers, a cool scar and a cool story to tell. 

[tobymax]

That's the only workout I got done this week.   

And now the holiday weekend.  Heading out of town for Sat & Sun.  I expect to get in a good long session on Monday morning.

[sakustoms]

Don't sweat it Toby. I took off last week to do some healing. Didn't see the gym one day, didn't bother me one bit. You'll come back stronger.

Woot! Nice rep pr on bench!

And the squats are starting to climb!! 

[tobymax]

Thanks Eric.  The bench presses were really feeling good yesterday.  The 225x5 was a little easier than I expected so I was tempted to go higher, but I just decided to move on to the next exercise.  Since I had a 12 day stretch without doing legs before yesterday, I have DOMS today (yes, DOMS from my massive 175 lb squats), but I'm still gonna try doing deads tonight if I can find a spot to do them.  If not, I'll make it a cardio day.
