Today, on my bike ride home, I thought I'd have a bit of fun with the people that I see regularly on my route. We pass the same faces daily and occasionally we might nod or smile. So I thought I would add to that and actually say something that most folks will say in passing..."how are you?" Only today, I hit the brakes and waited for a response. Those that know me, know that I am rather short, but about the same width as I am high. I wear a close cropped beard that is more salt than it is pepper these days, and a "Punisher" hat in desert camo to protect my hairless dome from the sun. Shorts, no shoes and sunglasses. In other words, I resemble a life size lawn gnome only with a thicker neck and traps. This made for some interesting responses. Two people averted eye contact the moment I stopped to listen to their answer. One guy became disoriented and confused and immediately returned to his I Phone. Two well dressed ladies asked "what?", and ONE lovely couple, a bit older actually began to tell me HOW THEY WERE DOING! I listened to them for a few minutes, swapped some pleasantries encouraged them to continue being the most fun couple of the day and left as a better person for having giving a RIP. I think tomorrow, I will set my goal of TWO people that I will gather "how they are doing."   Dynamic Bench: 8x3x58% DB Row: -2x10x Moderate wt. -3x6x REALLY heavy Pushdowns for the TRIcep Pump: 4x20 Parallel handle Pull up: 5x8 super set with Single Arm DB Overhead Press: 5x8 Lateral Raise: 4x12 full range   MY Chest/Shoulder training: Incline Bench AND Flat Bench Super set: 12x10x50 Incline DB Fly and Flat DB Fly super set: 12x10x15 Over head barbell press: 12x10x50 Single Arm DB OH Press: 5x8 Shrugs: 4x12x455 4 way neck: 1x12x5.0
