EdAvilaSr & FishandShoot, I've already worked on slowing down the movement - not like a have a choice, by the last set [:D] - but will add a 25lb plate for at least a few weeks. That's about what I've lost since January!
Bolt, all exercising is done on the ground floor of "KeithC's Gym, Reloading Room, Armory, Furnace Room and Whatever-Else-The-Wife-Decides-is-Too-Ugly-for-the-Main-Floor Dumporium". In other words, my basement. I've got two dumbells, one barbell, a squat stand, maybe 200 lbs of assorted weights and my heavybag. Oh, and a chinup bar. That's it, amigo, but thanks for the tip.
Zoom, I do my arms during the same set (in between the ab stuff) and don't notice the same kind of "disconnect". There's fatigue, there's strain, there's failure. Normal. The abs give me a bit of fatigue and then - bam! - can't get my shoulder blades off the floor. Doesn't hurt, just doesn't go anywhere. Go figure. Seeing as how I usually roll out of bed, feed the dogs & then immediately start the workout, it might be worth knocking back at least a cup of coffee first, just to see.
Thanks again, guys.
Keith C.
