Made it up myself…

5x 10 reps body-weight dead lifts
3x 10 reps back extensions
3x 20 45 degree inclined sit-ups
5x 400 meter hill sprints (treadmill 6 incline)…

I don’t have a bench, so I improvised. I wore a heavy backpack and did push-ups with my feet inverted 18″. The pull-ups right after the presses were awkward and week… And my body is still recovering from a cold.

5 sets of max reps:
Body-weight press

1st set:

I was at Best Buy today for an iPad case. Another iPad owner was doing the same. He had waited in line and eagerly bought one on April 3rd like the rest of us. But he hadn’t used his yet. He couldn’t. His MacBook was 10.4 (Tiger) and couldn’t run the required version of iTunes …

I’m on the train in to Philadelphia and writing this post on a wifi-only iPad via wifi tethering. The 3G iPads come out later this month, but why would you want an additional $30 per month plan when most mobile phones have decent bluetooth or wifi tethering options?
