Sunday and Monday

Spring Skiing Sunday.

It was probably 60F up at 9000 feet on sunday. Skiing was great, but on the way home, they were stopping cars in the canyon and telling them to go back up the hill. They said the hill was unstable and it was going to be closed until temps cooled off. I bought some potato chips at general grits and sat on my tail gate and started eating them enjoying the sunshine, when these guys across the street said "hey you want a hambuger?" I said sure and walked over. The one guy said "hey, I know you, you're the guy with the flaming hat ( my westside barbell hat ), I saw you skiing little cloud on thursday" and he handed me a PBR. LOL, I'm famous. I ended up hanging out with them until the road opened, it was pretty fun, I hope I see them up there again sometime.

Monday.
My first day at Omniture. Spent the majority of the day orientation.

Squat training at Ripped Fitness.

I wanted to give my forearms a break so I decided to do SSB box squats. I still dont understand why my forearms hurt after squatting heavy. Pulling even heavier doesn't bother them. Go figure...

SSB box squats
bar x 7

145 x 6
145 x 6
195 x 4
235 x 3
285 x 2
315 x 1
315 x 1
335 x 1
335 x 1

The SSB kicks my butt and is much harder than normal back squats, but then again I did ski yesterday. Actually, I just looked back in my log and this was 20 pounds more than I did last time I tried them, so I guess I'm not doing SO bad.

A few sets on the leg extension and leg curl machine.
