2. Crunches: 110 lb

4. Incline press: 45 lb
5. Dumbell fly press: 30 lb
6. Pullover: 60 lb
7. Dumbell press: 45 lb

I was going to go on the bike, but I thought I’d give the elliptical a try today. A lot of people use them. I’ve heard they are supposed to be easy on the joints, but it wasn’t easy on my arthritic ankle. I stopped after 7 minutes because it was starting to get too uncomfortable. If I wanted pain, I’d go lift weights. Oh, right. I did.

I’ll stick with the bike for weight lifting days.

I live in Lethbridge with my spouse and 5 of our 6 children. I’m a writer, focusing on social issues and the occasional poem. My politics are radically left. I recently finished writing a book debunking several capitalism myths. My newest book writing project is on the labour history of Lethbridge.

I’m also dichotomally Mormon. And I’m a functional vegetarian: I have a blog post about that somewhere around here. My pronouns are he/him.
