Daughter's Birthday & WoW

My daughter turned 8 today at 2:15pm eastern time.  Hard to believe I know have a beautiful 8 year old girl.  I still remember when she was little bigger than my forearm.  Amazing.

1 weeks since the previous HIT workout and 3 weeks since doing this "B" workout with an upper body emphasis.  Trying to be good, only doing a single, light training almost 4 days ago.  Based on my previous results I cannot stand 3x/wk of working out in a high intensity.  1-2 times is my max to keep the progress rolling.

Worked out fasted around 18 hours and no plan to eat until after work when we all go out for a birthday dinner, Lauren's choice.  Improvements I remember him stating are noted.

Workout(~30min):
-MedX Pullover:  Up a rep.
-Super Slow Push Ups: 7, but honestly the 7th wasn't all that slow. 
-Nautilus Pull Up:  Up 1 rep with 10# less assist.
-MedX Chest Press:  Up 2 reps
-MedX Compound Row:  Up 1 rep
-Nautilus Dip: Up a rep.
-Negative pull ups:  10 second negatives with 25# weight added.
-Wall/ball squats:  body weight only, 25 reps.  Good burn.
-MedX Leg Abductor 
-MedX Leg Adductor
-MedX Leg Press: Up 2 0r3 reps over previous "B" workout.  Got 10 so I am "rewarded" by a weight increase next time.  Lovely.

Excellent, continued progress.  On the road to recovery after my latest over training lesson.   186# on the scale.  Tanita body fat estimator says ~8% body fat.  I think it is slightly higher than that, but all good.

Jeff,

Congrats on your daughter's birthday and your renewed progress and recovery.

My son was also born at 2:15pm.

Great body comp at 8%. My Tanita says 8.4% which is about my best measurement. Probably overstated, but I'll take it.
