Ain't Found A Way To Kill Me Yet

Figured that I’ve owned this account and been creeping long enough that I should do something about it. Kind of like paying cover charge.

Short form stats: 20 years of training, longest consecutive time off: 2 weeks. Competitive (depending on your definition) highland games athlete. I’ve done some olifting and strongman too, but I was awful at both. I’m less awful at highland games.

In my tenure, I’ve gone from a whopping 182 to 265 and now I’m pretty much settled in at 220-240 depending on how neurotic I get on either side.

Despite training for 2 decades, there’s only about a 7 minute window where I look like I lift weights. The rest of the time I only look like I know what the inside of a gym looks like because I go in after hours and clean it.

I have damaged enough of my body that I “try” to train smart but I’m still male and therefore just not so bright. Doing a bastardized up 531 mostly right now because I just don’t have the time or inclination to think right now. Oh and I mix and match kilos and pounds. Sorry. It’s a Canadian thing.

Here’s the last two:

Old Brokedick,

welcome aboard, at least you have that 7 minute window where you look like you do shit so that’s always nice.

welcome aboard

You have a fellow CAN thrower over in PW logs too! Ugh I tried snatch pulls once, gave me a headache.

Yeah, I try not to bug her too much here. She gets the live show often enough.

LOL awesome title, welcome aboard.

Welcome aboard brother! Glad you decided to come out of the shadows. Looking forward to following your progress.

Horrah, I am so glad you started a log! Us Edmonton folk gotta stick together yah know.

Welcome to the old folk’s home, FrozenKilt.

But that means you get the live show too, lucky ducky.

Oh yeah. And she’s a cutie too. And a dirty old man magnet, the poor thing.

Full warmup routine.

Dirty Cheater Bench Squats
70kgx3
100x3

Backoff week. Which is good because I’m never a huge fan of the 5am squat workout. But the schedule this week has been messed up and you just don’t miss squat day.

That creepy old man from the theatre still haunts me.

“Is this seat taken?”

The theatre was empty. You really should have said “Yes.”

Or tazed him.

Welcome

TOO MANY ABBREVIATIONS! TMA

I don’t know what exercises you’re doing, ha-ha.

haha I understand training forever and only having brief windows of time that we actually LOOK the part.

Highland games,nice.
