My first kit came with a product called Anew Clinical Absolute Even on sale for $7.99, which is a spot correction hand cream with broad spectrum SPF 15. Since I don't have spots on my hands, but do have them on the sides of my face, and I happened to be out of face cream at the time, I broke the rules and smoothed it on my face and neck. The cream is very rich out of the tube, and stays in the sense that when you are taking a shower you can feel that you are washing a lotion off. But, the remakkable part of it is, it is working. I have been using it consistently for about a week, and my age spot freckles on the side of my face are fading. Cool, right? Now I just need some customers besides myself.
Workouts are going well, I don't recall if I posted Fridays so here it is. 5/23, am workout. I started with my usual warmup, 6 inutes on the Arc Trainer. Bench press, 1 x 10 x 45, (all of these are paused bench presses) 1 x 5 x 65, 1 x 3 x 95, 2 x 2 x 100, then I got a spotter. I think it was Mike, I forgot to write that in the notebook. With him I did 1 x 2 x 100, then with a lift-off 1 x 3 x 100, 1 x 2 x 100, reps only count when he does not help at all.
On to deadlift, 2 x 3 x 135, 1 x 3 x 155, 1 x 2 x 175, 1 x 2 x 185, 2 x 1 x 195, 1 x 2 x 185. My next deadlift session, which is tomorrow, will be a heavier volume, lighter weight day. 1 x 3 x 135, 1 x 3 x 155, 1 x 3 x 175, 1 x 5 x 175 is the plan.
Monday, 5/26 around 11am. Warm-up 6 minutes on the Arc Trainer, then squats. 1x10xair, 1x8x45, 1 x 5 x 65, 1 x 5 x 95, 1 x 5 x 115, 1 x 3 x 125, 3 x 3 x 135, 3 x 4 x 135. None of these were hard, back was good, ready to go heavier with squats.
Today, 5/27, morning. Warmup, 6 min Arc Trainer. Bench Press 1 x 8 x 45, (all paused)1 x 5 x 65, 1 x 3 x 95, 1 x 3 x 100 touch and go, went and got Eddie to spot me, 2 x 3 x 100. Nice! Better than last time. Eddie had to go train someone, so dropped weight down to 95 lbs. 3 x 5 x 95 touch and go, 1 x 8 x 85 touch and go. Standing press, it has been forever since I did these, 1 x 5 x 45, 1 x 3 x 65, 2 x 5 x 65, 1 x 4 x 65, 1 x 3 x 65. I did my usual yoga at the end, shoulder stand to plow, back-bend, forward fold and out.
