Two cool things

Yesterday at the gym, I was working my strength program. When I hit the third group of sets, the guy at the rack next to me looks over and says "Ripptoe, huh"?

"Yup".

I knew he knew what he was doing, because he was doing textbook full squats. Sad to say, I don't see many people doing those in the gym I go to. It turns out he works out at the the Crossfit Black Box here in the city, and is taking the summer off from CF to work on a strength program.

Other cool thing...

I've been tracking my workouts on Evernote these days. I mentioned it to my 22 year old son, and he asked if I could share with him. I was happy to. Now he's created a notebook too, and he's sharing with me. Yesterday he wrote:

Metco
Timed 4 Rounds of

400m Run
500m Row Machine

My time was 19:42 I'm pretty sure I beat Dads time, I'm happy about that.


I just looked back at dads time i did beat him, but the machine he was working on gave him so trouble so i did not really beat his time. I also realized that this was dads workout for one day and i mixed strength training into this. no surprise to me my endurance will be higher than his i am 30 years younger

So...it seems as if we have the challenge of the old guy vs. the young guy. I think we'll both be better off for it!

We're also looking to see if we can coordinate working out together some time. It makes me happy that he's actually looking to do some stuff with me! :)
