Vacation's over - we're back in the gym

True or false? We love:


  • chinups
  • the paddle erg
  • deadlifts
  • squats
TRUE!! (ok maybe not the first two so much, but we're back at it and if we didn't love it we wouldn't do it right?)

We were planning on meeting at the gym, but they had a large power outage so we decided to do the workout at G's instead. We had to improvise a little, as she doesn't have either a cage or a cable machine, but we had plenty of options. The only less-than stellar part of either the home gym or the real gym is having to do chin-ups with elastic straps. And since our workout had high reps, there was no way we were going to accomplish them without the straps. What's the problem with getting a little assistance? I don't know about boys, but those darn elastics near cut a girl's vagina in half. It's really not a pleasant experience!

No matter, we muscled and groaned and grunted through a killer workout in anticipation of Thanksgiving weekend. Not so much for good turkey and pumpkin pie - but for our first fit test of the new season. Who needs a food coma anyway - bring on the chinups!
