abridged: This house fall sway to some rambunctious behaviour.

unabridged:  It just so happened one of my favorite people needed some help putting together a website for a school project and asked her good ole uncle for some help.  So I picked Lindsey up from school and carted her home with me for the evening.  Needless to say, the boys were happy to see her.  We all sat down to a nice dinner by Brandy and then all hell broke lose.

  Lindsey took the boys outside to play on the swingset and run the yard and then back inside for some homework and Wrestlemania.  The boys had a field day being able to wrestle with one of the girls and Lindsey is always a load of fun for them.

  A good pulling exercise and way to hit the rear delts and traps is the Face Pull.  I prefer this one at the end of the workout after bigger movements and it works for a finisher.  And while numerous exercises can be modified many ways I think this one should stay simple and stick with a rope.

  Saturday after running some basketball I headed to the weights to expend even more energy.  After working myself into an oxygen debt I decided to hit the face pulls.  Walking over to the cables a curl bar was already attached so I thought I'd just use the bar instead of the rope.  [REMEMBER, I was at a severe lack of oxygen, dripping sweat, and hitting exhaustion.] Suddenly there was a loud clank of metal smacking into the bone of my brow and bridge of my nose.  I calmly looked around and switched to the rope.  My brow and nose still hurt today.
