Pity those clients stayed with the gym rather than remain dedicated to you as a person. Have you thought about establishing an online training presence?

Happy weekend! Worked out this morning at Anytime Fitness. At the very least they have all the equipment I'm used to using.

Cardio: Walk/jog- 260 calories

Strength: quads- linear leg press, Smith machine squats, bulgarian squats, leg extensions 4x12,10,8,6

Weights: Lower Body

Squat 5x10
Rack Pull 3x8
Leg Press <<superset> Leg Press Calf Raise 4x10 (Last set drop set)
Cable Crunch 4x10, 15, 20, 25

Analysis: As decided on last time, I limited my drop sets to two, not the ten from last week. I also lowered the rack pull depth a notch on the squat rack, and wow, what a difference it makes! Had to lower the weight, reps and number of sets. No doubt I'll work my way back up to where I was, but a trifle humbling in the meantime.

Happy TGIF! I've only been out of work a couple of weeks but it seems like an eternity. The only solace I get right now is that I'm able to focus on myself better and do more complete workouts with no rush.

Sending good wishes for gainful employment, my friend.

I want to see Deadpool/Wolverine, but have limited funds to see movies in-theater and my wife and I are already slated to see Twisters on our date night tonight, so I may have to wait until it becomes available for home viewing. Shouldn't take long...as a kid it was a good six months wait, these days the wait can be as little as a few weeks.
