State of the Onion

i took yesterday (usual chest day) off, trying to recupe my degenerating left a.c./glenohumeral joint. So i went climbing instead. i am mighty fat, and my hands have weakened by some negative exponent to approximating about the same strength they commanded when i was 3 or 4 days old. But it was fun. i did push down a "V1", which i'd amend to about a really hard V0-. i'll take it as a V1 anyway just for my otherwise smushed ego. Oh, and i got an iPod shuffle in the mail today, which improves the prognosis of my squat workouts rather dramatically. Couldn't say why, but i think i might just be able to push more to an angry electronic riff than to the Eagles. Thank you, O brutha of mine, for saving me from the throes of Phil Collins. Now i just gotta figure out how to turn the thing on...
