We must have different definitions of nemesis. Ain’t seen no 70+ guys in the gym doing 225 much less 3 reps with it. That was a good set of benching there.

Who you calling 70? I’m only 45, at heart.

Nevertheless I seriously envy the animal I saw bench 315 at 5:30 am today. A first for that time in that gym. Most guys in gym then are engineers or doctors and their lifts are “a bit light”.

Weather today where I’m headed in the PI is 94f and 81% humidity. Tank tops and flip flops are the uniform of the day.

Jesus. At least you grew up in south Louisiana.

It was 97 here yesterday,… in April. Makes one wonder what it will be in July/August.

Well we had snow two nights ago, if that makes anyone feel better.
