My Testimonials

December 4, 2003
Apollo and I have known each other for 20 years at least. He is most assuredly my best friend. He is utterly fascinating, just to sit down and talk with. He is absolutely brilliant and has a razor sharp wit. But don't worry. He uses both his wit and his intelligence for good at all times. He is also WAY more talented that he would ever let on.
What more could I say. He is a great person and a great friend.

I am lucky to call him my friend. He is sweet, charming, fit (with all that bicycling), and has the uncanny ability to brighten my day before he knows I'm feeling down. Let the sun (god) shine! This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius.

The Oracle of Apollo

Today’s workout was clumsy, consisting of a number of back squats using, in my case, dumbbells. We’re doing 100 reps of the back squat under 70 pounds of weight (a pair of 35 pound dumbbells). I subdivided this amount of work into sets of ten. After each set, I would untangle my hand from [...]

Today’s workout was another benchmark workout dubbed “Angie.” I’m still not sure, at this point, if the “girl” workouts (that is, the ones named like girls) are named for specific namesakes, but I guess I’ll find out sooner or later. Here’s Angie: For time: 100 pullups 100 pushups 100 situps 100 squats Ooh, this looks kind of evil. [...]

Today’s workout was a little tough, but went fairly quickly. While the original workout called for a barbell workout for weight maxes, I’m working with a pair of 30 pound dumbbells today. So, I’ll just do ten rounds of ten (100 reps) for time. The assigned exercise: the push jerk. Now, I’m [...]

Today’s workout called for five rounds of three reps of the deadlift, at increasing weight. Since I don’t have a barbell setup, I did a hundred dumbbell deadlifts at 70 pounds (2×35# dumbbells). Unfortunately, that wasn’t enough work. I got through that in about five minutes and, according to my heart rate [...]

Today’s workout handed my ass to me. I thought I could do it indoors, where it’s nice and warm, but after smacking myself in the head with the door bar, I packed everything up and headed to the park. Here’s on today’s agenda: Five rounds for time of: 15 dumbbell bench presses 15 pullups 15 pushups 15 chair [...]
