When my Russian buddy Roman and I are working out, the onlookers may be reminded of a certain SNL skit... on Friday, that was particularly the case. Roman came up with the idea of doing 50 pull-ups (not all at once - we're not Ahhnolds). The first few sets were OK, but after the 3rd one or so my muscles started wondering what the hell was going on - and the number of reps dropped dramatically, until I could barely do one pull-up. The audience was treated to quite a sight, as I tried recreating "electrocution by hanging" a few times. Good stuff.

Then, on Saturday, Roman dragged me out to go cross-country skiing - which was really cool, if only I remembered how to ski properly. I must say though, that's a workout and a half right there.

Needless to say, my arms and back are feeling it today. At least I get to walk around with what Rob Stone called "ILS" - the Invisible Lats Syndrome ;p
