Thanks, guys. I would welcome some cooler weather - maybe we can do a weather exchange!
We actually had a really nice May - I shouldn't complain (but I will!). It can be far worse.

I found my sheet with rep numbers from my "
Tabata This" workout on 5/21. I'm going to add them in here for record-keeping.
1. PUSHUPS: 17/17/11/9/
8/9/8/8 = 87
2. SQUATS: 19/19/20/20/19/19/20/20 = 156
3. CHIN-UPS: 9/6/5/5/
4/4/4/4/ = 41

B. BB SHOULDER PRESS: 125#: 4; 4; 3; 3; 3

-- Had a mild stomach bug that knocked me out for a couple of days - mostly just due to low energy. These front squats were tough; I never have figured out how to get my FS's anywhere close to my back squats. But I feel like I get more out of them, even with 100+ pounds less on the bar.
Summer semester starts this week, so it will be trial and error to see how my workout schedule shakes out. All day teaching marathons Mon, Wed, and Thurs with essentially no breaks are going to be some serious energy drains to counteract.
