  Truthfully, this was supposed to be 40/40/40 with Slam Balls in the middle. Gold's obviously did not have any slam balls, so I started substituting knee raises but the hang-apparatus is crap, so I switched to situps. After that I got annoyed and cut short the numbers.

  Put a lot of effort into the benches, though. That started to feel like a lot of weight pretty quickly.  :P  I used a little step-up platform that I assume is meant for aerobics or something but was a good height to not cause sharp knee pains.

  A chipper, by the way, is a series of exercises done once through; as compared to a number of rounds of repeating the same exercises. So-called because you go in one end, go once through, and come out the other end wrecked...like a wood chipper.  :)

  Motivational picture today. That is Miss Gillian Anderson... possibly known to you as Agent Dana Scully from the X-Files. Coincidentally, possibly my best girlfriend ever was a gorgeous redhead named Dana. Hmmm...
