Got spanked by a pushy judge. I submit items double-sided, which seems justified in the USGov where they're always encouraging reducing paper use, double sided, recycling...this judge rejected a large submission and asked for it again single sided "because I can't flip through things in a hearing." Right, it's so bloody hard to turn the page and look at it as opposed to turn the page and look at the next. Twit. Ever seen a book? I try to work my beliefs into my work place, and these particular beliefs are supported by countless issuances from multiple levels and agencies, but still I run into this kind of wasteful attitude.

No I wouldn't risk anything like this in the private sector. Government also affords me more protected rights of expression and religious accommodation than I might receive elsewhere. Remember I used to report to duty with a purple "mohawk."

Not a hot day in the gym yesterday. My bench has actually decreased slightly, while everything else seems to be increasing. I'm also not getting taller.

Started old school - straight bar, 10 just bar, 10 with quarters, 10 with 45, 9 with 55 each side (couldn't pull of 10 which I usually can), 1 with 185 on my own, 2nd with barely help, 3rd with help only.
45 incline bench, 50lb dumbbells, 1 set 10, 1 of 8, 1 of 8
Decline hammer strength machine, 1 set 10 at 180 (90 per side, assuming machine is 0 weight), 8-10 (I forget) at 230, 6-8 at 230
dips, not sure how many, 3 sets to exhaustion (20/15/13 probably)

Then it was off to shoulders and back. Usually I can get 3 of the bar bench at 185.

(forgot that I did another 2 sets after that, not sure how many reps but 155 then 135)

The routine has not been routine, but for years. My base is 3 sets of 10, and the warm up is in there too. I have not been able to keep the routine regular for about 5 years or so. It's been only 1-2 times a week for the past 5 years, now I'm up to 3 times a week. Plus boxing class and running.

(I've changed up this routine for the past 2 weeks or so, having added the squats, switching to far more dumbbells for bench and doing heavier weight and less reps, also less exercises on each group)
