Today's George Peppard fact

Early in 1986, George caught himself thinking about Singapore. He thought, 'A tiny country, with a harbour that size and that many noodles. No. No. It makes no sort of sense.'

And after that, he never thought about Singapore again.

Sunday

Thanks for asking. I think it's a rotator cuff, but I haven't had it checked out. There's pain in the back of the shoulder whenever I do any pressing motions. Any sort of external rotation is painful. It's getting stronger - a few weeks ago I couldn't do any sort of horizontal pressing.

Get it checked out man! Too important to ignore.

Log quote of the week. And a workout to boot.

Today's George Peppard fact. If you quickly say 'George Peppard' five times, the ghost of Ella Fitzgerald will appear and hit you with a chair.

Friday I'm still only getting in to the gym twice a week, but the shoulder seems to be healing. Today I managed the 42s on DB bench press, which is 8kg up from last week. Front squats aren't being done with enough volume and frequency to improve - I was going to try for 140 X 3 today but didn't have it in me.

Front squats

60 (132) X 5
100 (221) X 5
120 (265) X 5
130 (286) X 4
140 (308) X 2

DB bench press

20 (44) X 10
42s (92s) X 6
42s (92s) X 6
42s (92s) X 6
42s (92s) X 6
42s (92s) X 6

Standing DB curlz

20s (44s) X 5
24s (53s) X 4
24s (53s) X 4
24s (53s) X 4
24s (53s) X 4
