by Joseph I have not posted any updates lately, but I have been exercising at the gym. Here are the results of my workout from November 3, 2019: Sunday, November 3, 2019 deadlifts 355 lb x 2 x 1 355 lb x 1 x 6 no warm up set I had only a short time to exercise and the Olympic bar had been wobbly when I lifted on Sunday, October 20, 2019, but I intended to use a sturdier Olympic bar this time around.

by Joseph I did not publish the results of my last couple of workouts because I have been busy with work. I did get in a good deadlift workout during the October 20, 2019 weekend. Here it is: Sunday, October 20, 2019 deadlifts 325 lb x 1 x 8 no warm up set I had to switch Olympic bars because the first one that I was using was wobbly on the lift, so I set it down; if I counted this one, it would be 9 sets. I did not realize that I had taken an entire month off deadlifting,... Continue reading

by Joseph I have been busy so I did not go to the gym to exercise; I spent the time doing light cardio workouts but this is no substitute for weight lifting. When I return to the gym this week, I'll be deadlifting multiple reps and sets at 325 pounds. I'll keep you posted. But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed.

I know that I'll again be lifting 425 pounds soon enough. After completing that lift, I spent the rest of the time deadlifting at a lower weight just so that my muscles could have some rest.

by Joseph I had a good workout last week. Here are the results: Friday, September 6, 2019 deadlifts 315 lb x 2 x 5 315 lb x 1 x 2 no warm-up set I was busy on Tuesday, September 10, 2019, so I fit deadlifting into my schedule last Friday. I decided to skip the warm-up set and went straight to heavy lifting. I did two reps of 315 pounds for five sets and took a 2 - 3 minute break between sets. After completing ten reps, I wanted to do more but individually so two more deadlifts were performed... Continue reading

by Joseph Deadlifts were the plan for the day. Here are the results of the workout: Tuesday, August 27, 2019 deadlifts 135 lb x 4 x 1 315 lb x 1 x 5 + hold 15 secs I did multiple sets of deadlifts, restricting myself to one rep per set. The exercise is good, yet I'm still getting reacclimated to lifting this way. I'm happy to have the physical strength to lift hundreds of pounds from the floor and hold that position before setting the massive load down again. When I return to the gym, I'll increase the reps per... Continue reading

I will be devoting the next several weeks to deadlifting at 315 pounds and steadily increasing the weight; then I will deadlift at 375 pounds, then deadlift at the... Continue reading

Here are the results of the workout: Tuesday, August 15, 2019 deadlifts 135 lb x 4 reps x 1 set 325 lb x 6 x 1 I had about 40 minutes available to exercise, so I devoted the entire workout to deadlifts. It seems like a continuation of my deadlifts challenge from years ago, but what I'm focusing on now is heavy lifting for the sake of heavy lifting. I'm enjoying every minute of it. The thrill of lifting heavy weights off the floor and setting them back down again.... Continue reading

But when I got to the gym, I decided... Continue reading

by Joseph I did not go to the gym last week, but I still found time to exercise. I decided to write this entry about mowing my lawn with a manual mower.

I am grateful for functional strength, being able to move about and do things because there are millions upon millions of people who are unable to do so. When I return to the gym, I'll be lifting heavy again. I'll keep you posted. But even if you should... Continue reading

Getting Rid of Earwigs Naturally By Paul T. McCoy Beliefs about earwigs are certainly not true. They said that earwigs got its name because it enters the human brain through the ears.

Earwigs do not reside inside your home. They just crawl inside your home. To prevent them from entering your home, check your windows and doors of any opening that serves as their entry point.
