"In the heat of the summer / better call out a plumber / turn on the steam pipe / cool me off" - Circle Jerks
It's July. And before July was June, and after July is August, and it's hot.
Usually I lift at 3 pm, but some days work interferes with me, so I interfere with work and lift at noon or 1 pm. It's hard to warm up at 3 in June, July, and August, and it's tempting to cool down immediately after the warm up and leave out the lifting part. 45 x 15 leaves the bench sweaty and my shirt stuck to my body.
And there's pain. There is the usual pain caused by walking up stairs or attempting to do an air squat. There is the unusual pain. I did squat my old opener for ten Friday, and I got a viscous headache. I laid on the mats for several minutes afterwards. Eventually I realized that I was not having an aneurysm because my senses were still on and they were telling me that my head hurt.
Now there is heat and there is pain.
I'm sure I won't remember either of them when I'm on the platform August 25th.
