Today at lunch, another guy joined us. That makes 5!
Bryan hurt his shoulder surfing yesterday, so he didn't work out with us today.
Ed Williams, my drummer in the rock band is the new addition. Strong as an ox with weights, he wants to get better at all the other stuff too. He squated like 380lbs yesterday, then ran and did PT today. Good guy.
For the run, we only went three miles. The middle mile, we ran 2:00 on, 2:00 off. Twice.
Felt good to pick it up. (On a tangent, I'll be racing again for the first time since college next week! There's a 10k on base, and then The Great Aloha run, an 8-miler a few weeks later.)
PT: Pyramids again. I kept Karl and Taylor on the same one as last week. Ed started on this one too. They all did very well. Taylor's abs are recovering well, Karl is showing great improvement in pushups, and the pullups are coming along nicely, Ed dominates arms and is pretty solid for abs too.
They did 1-5-1 pullups, x3 pushups, x6 situps.
I doubled that. It sucked. I haven't done that many pullups in a long time. I went 2,4,5,8,10, and back down. Going up was fine. But at 10, I had to drop at 8, jump up and do two more. Then coming down, I could only do four at a time. Damn. I need to do that more.
Pushups and situps were fine. 6,12,18,24,30 and 12,24,36,48,60 and back down respectively.
We all were seeing stars from the effort, I got a bit of a headache, and Taylor felt a little dizzy.
Good times!
Then, even though my arms were dead, Taylor convinced me to do dips. So I did. Those were fun. I felt my triceps straining on the first set of 15, then my chest on the 2nd set of 10, and finally my back on the 3rd set of 5. Good pain! Lots of weakness leaving. The other three did 10, 7, 5 or something.
All in all, a good day again.
My Totals:
Run: 3
Pullups: 50
Pushups: 150
Situps: 300
Dips: 30

Good to see that you are up to 5 now! It must be nice having a little workout group.
Those ab numbers! x6 is a lot! Nice!
That is a solid PT set that you all are doing. Those guys must have improved very quickly.
Excellent work doubling up. You have just raised the bar for yourself.
Before you know it you're going to have 15 people running and doing PT with you.
Hoo-Cha!
