Bench!

Ah, what a blissful start to the day. 10:30 session with Josh. I am so fortunate: to have the health to do whatever exercise I want (and in fairly large quantities), the discretionary income to spend dollars within reason on such things, the general life wherewithal to make it happen....

Didn't quite make the last couple reps of the last set (called it at 8), but good bench work set of 4 x 10 x 95, then board press 4 x 6 x 85 with 3-second isometric hold at the bottom. Triceps/lats work on cable machine, a row variation where you hold one dumbbell in the up position while rowing the other (4 x 10 x 27.5), 100 skullcrushers with football bar.

Funny ride home: there is a small bike detour, spotted a nun with the build of a runway model tottering along on what first appeared to be stilt-like high heels but of course really were rollerblades.

Nice chat with neighbor on way up, an elderly woman I often see. She was looking at me and my bicycle with patent envy and missing the days when she could bike: she said once she had jury duty at the Twin Towers, she rode her bike down the west side, and on the last day she forgot the lock for her bike and they let her bring it up and keep it in chambers....
