I think the air squats are going to go because I added them and they don’t seem to be doing anything useful.
So this week will be challenging. I’m going to be lifting four straight days because my wife sold me to Ronda for the weekend to get her moved to Alabama. Its really sad when you can be bought so cheaply. I’ll have a pull up bar so I can keep the challenge going its going to be a rough few days. Lifting this afternoon if the storms don’t blow us all away.
Its storming again with that low deep thunder that sounds less like atmospheric disturbance than the wrath of Thor as his chariot rolls accross the sky or perhaps Ursa has turned from his timeless treck among the stars and, growling in his fury, prepares to face Orion who has tracked him for enternity.
There is something so very primal about these storms that remind us how very little we have changed from our ancestors. Only our thin veneer of technology and a facade of civilization, which is perhaps why we lift.
We have no great quest, no Grail to search for and most of us labor with naught to show for it but paperwork and ledger entries.If we have no monsters to strive against then we must create a foe to defeat. We need the epic struggle just as our ancestors did so that our goals become our personal Grendels and St. George our patron Saint.

Nice pulls Joe. Always make that last rep a good one, you know, for Chesty.
It’s kinda funny that in the background there’s always somebody that flies in the face of what we’re trying to do. In this case it’s the wifebeater, glove brigade.

Nice pullin’ Joe - just watch that hitching that is starting on your 385 rep. It will get you redlighted and maybe hurt.[/quote]
Yeah I wasn’t that fond of it my self I’ll have to keep an eye on it. I’ve only got one more cycle before I start pulling singles to see where I want to lift at.

nice pulling- sumo seems to work for you.
I remember watching your vid maybe a week or two ago on 385 ( i think?) and thinking ouch…This last vid was completely different[/quote]
It was something Git said about my shins beling to close to the bar so I moved back a couple of inches and it seemed to help a lot. Still needs work but feels like I’m on the right track.
