Every now and then I have a good idea. I like to celebrate those good idea times because they don't come along all that often and it is nice to remember those fleeting moments. Today's workout is a pretty good idea, the Bear in pieces for 5 reps each then 5 Bears, then 5 Bear pieces again. I call it the Bear in Bits or Bits of the Bear or something like that. Anyway, Jennifer brought the recovering Lance to the gym today and he looks good. A virus laid him out for the week. Just her working out and she did the Bear Bits in 9 minutes. Looked hard. I needed a LOF for my patrol car so I brought it downtown and of course they were eating lunch so I went to do the stairs. Not sure if this was a good idea or a bad one. I ran into my friend Georgia there. She's a fire fighter with Graham fire and she just happens to be the winner of the big stair climb thing in Seattle with all her fire gear on...like a dozen times in a row. It's crazy. She has the lungs of a mountain goat. I ran the stairs with her. Decidely bad idea. You know that lab you see running with someone and they look like a balloon you let go of? I was good for about one set and then off she went. She is a crusher of men's souls. Had a gym full of folks for the afternoon for Bear Bits and it proved to be a very tough creation. The 55% was just about right but Mike went heavier with 135 lbs and Dave heavier still with 185. Both thought that was a bit much. After his Super Squats Dave did it again in 5:13. Yeowza. Super Squats for everyone afterwards and Katie managed 65 which is huge for her.
