I generally do tree work on Fridays. When I do my WO routine is shelved, can't do both (ask me why). The wind this morning made the tree option too dangerous, so I opted to WO. I managed two personal best during my pull-up routine. I do a 10 set weighted pull-up routine, alternating between 4 reps with 40lb, followed with 3 reps with 50lb. I rest 1 min between sets. I do this until I complete 10 sets. Afterwards I rest 3 minutes and go for a personal best with a 40lb weight. Today I managed 18 reps for a personal best. Afterwards I weight 5 min and go for a non-weighted best--today that was 38 reps. Not to shabby for someone who just turned 61 this month.
BTW, Yesterday I had a 2 hour meeting with the oncologist, urologist, and radiologist, all were in agreement in light of the data, age, current health, and severity of cancer that surgery is best option for me. Neil (friend who just finished radiation, seed implants, and hormone therapy) accompanied me during the consult. I wanted a perspective of someone who is going through this. We walked in thinking radiation, but after listing to the medical team we both walked out thinking surgery is the best option. My PSA elevated another 1.5 points in less than two months. It is what it is.
