Sorry to hear the right shoulder is still giving you fits, but that’s one meaty arm up there. Nice forearm development. I’ve noticed that before on you.

Arm looking nom Busy.

I want this jersey!
Would it look slutty if a woman was wearing a jersey like that?

^ This is why it is cool to have kids, you always have someone to take to the movies and you get to go see the movies that both little girls and boys want to watch. Not that The Green Lantern is for kids but not a lot of adult women want to see the fun movies. :frowning:

Also a little jealous of the almost 2 plates on your squat, I’m just a little over the 25lbs plates.

Well, it’s easier getting a movie date with the kids then some unknown lady at the bar…

As for squats, look at it as function of your body weight. I weigh 182-185 consistently, so my current goal is get to where I can do 275 lbs, 1.5 times my body weight, in good form.

The article by Rippletoe on squats was a big help to me.

Bad, bad storm hitting here, 75 mph winds.

And I am trying to spend the next 28 days on my low budget version of the Velocity Diet…

I can’t afford it all at one time, so I am using my current supply of fish oil, my cheap whey protein, milled flax, etc.

I do have HOT-ROX Extreme, Rez-V now, Receptormax in an other day or two…

T-Nation is out of Leucine at the moment.

I’ll try to sneak Superfood and Surge through my budget here soon.

Made it through day 1. Did break down and eat some of the dark chocolate peanut butter cups my daughter got for me for Father’s day. Oops.

Ok… and some baked chicken breast…
