M4:D26 (D326) My world Monday

What's on my mind today?
As promised, today I give you a small peek into my world. I mentioned being the equipment manager for the youth hockey team. Well the pictures below show what I have to do and a little of my oldest son (he is the goalie). I hope you enjoy this glimpse into my world. I plan to do this on a weekly basis from now on. Most likely every Monday's post will be a glimpse into my world.

Directing traffic from the bench is a big part of what I do. I get to open and close the gate when the kids come on and off the ice as well. The man on the left side of the picture is a former NHL player, Vic Venasky.

That's my boy. He is the #1 goalie for the team. This shot was taken during warm ups. I am extremely proud of him.

I talk to the kids to keep them motivated when they are on the bench. The assistant coach is also in the picture.

More action during warm ups. He's ready for anything.

Heading out for the handshake after getting their butt's handed to them. My boy leads the way. I am ready to clean up the bench area.

Week 2 of HIT started well. I raised the weight on 8 of 17 exercises. I increased my reps on 8 of 17 exercises. There was just 1 exercise (lat pull downs) where I did not beat my previous workout. I've noticed that on a given day the exercise can stall at a certain level, but the next time in the gym I manage to see an increase. I am starting to think that this means the particular muscle group is not full recovered. It is an interesting phenomenon.
