I hear a Train

I love Johnny Cash. One of my favorite movies is “Walk the Line”. My son and I use to watch it a lot. I still watch it again from time to time. Johnny Cash has a great story. He had many obstacles to overcome and got some help along the way.

This morning I was listening to a remade version of the song “Folsom Prison Blues” by Cody Parks and the Dirty South. I really like the work of Cody and his team. What he does is mix metal, rock, and country and it turns out great. The name if the song by Cody is “Thunder Cash 69” and it mixes some Rob Zombie in there. It’s worth a listen.

Today is Tuesday and I am going to recap both Monday and Tuesday. I didn’t get a chance to write a post yesterday (translation – I forgot). The workout yesterday started with a 500M row to warm-up and did some chest stretches with bands. Next I did bench press pyramid style. I worked up from 135 pounds to 255 pounds and back down.

Next I did shoulder press with dumbbells working up from 25 each to 40 each. This was a 12-10-8-6-24 routine. I then used the same pattern for skull crushers working from 55 pounds to 85 pounds on the straight bar. I then did 4 sets of DB fly from the ground with 35 pound dumbbells. Next I did dumbbell kickbacks starting at 25 working to 40 pounds in a 12-10-8-6-24 routine.

I then did three rounds of 200M row followed by 20 push ups, 10 dips, and 50 cable crunch. Overall very good workout with 107 intensity minutes.

Today I did a run/walk workout for about 45 minutes followed by leg stretching, 2 rounds of 100 DB triceps press and 60 DB hammer curls. I finished with 2 minutes of sit ups and I was able to complete 70. Today was 100 intensity minutes so I am at 207 intensity minutes for the week by Tuesday morning which is great. Remember that Garmin sets my weekly goal to 150 by default but I modified it and now my weekly goal is 300 intensity minutes.

Short post today but will be adding more this week. Have a great day everyone!
