So, that was it for Thanksgiving as I was too drunk to get any pictures of the Indian Restaurant.
Here we are arriving at my Mad Russian friend’s party last Saturday.
My Mad Russian friend and I are explaining how we served in Soviet Death Squad and how our guns were the biggest in the unit. Check out the hot Russian chick in the purple.
Mad Russian friend and me demonstrating how we would destroy enemies using any means available including bus transfer tickets as Mother Russia not allow us to buy car to run down enemies.
Mad Russian friend and me demonstrating how we appeared dignified to receive Soviet Medals of Honor…check out hot Russiann blonde to right of Mad Russian friend.
Mad Russian friend’s wife in pointy zebra shoes and hot Russian Chick at door.
Best thing about Russian parties, all chicks over 6 feet and dress very sexy…also, unlike Americans they think it’s funny when a drunk Sen Say explains he is Russian and serve on Death Squad…finally unlike Americans some ass doesn’t corner you and discuss his John Deere Tractor all fucking nigth.
I found my Mad Russian friend’s guitar and had quite an audience of hot Russian and American chicks before another Russian asked if he could play a song and then launched into a bunch of old Russian folk tunes…hot Russian chicks proceeded to throw lingerie at him…made note to learn some old Russian folk tunes.
Mad Russian friend cutting his b-day cake.
Push that is a very very good description…
particularly about being tight
and Sensay your Russian friends do indeed appear to be mad indeed
Chateauneuf-du-Pape is excellent.
I had a feeling federal gummint employess
knew how to party.
and do you travel with a guitar or is that your super power… to make them appear.

I think you do want to explode but you don’t want any slack in your chain, literally. Wrists, elbows, shoulders, hips, etc. need to be tight. Take a deep breath (try and push the air out your navel), brace your core, do a Kegel (yes, do a Kegel and hold it) and…pull!
Drag the bar up your shins and try and lean back, pushing your heels through the floor. I like to look up slightly about a 45 degree angle and focus on something on the ceiling in the distance.
Buy and wear some neoprene knee sleeves and you’ll put an end to the bloody shins. You need them for warm knees anyway.[/quote]
I think when I blew my L4 and L5 out I was slack in my core.
I got my neoprene sleeves out of storage ! I packed
'em away when I was on the disabled list. Also got a pair of soccer shin pads.
When you say you look up slightly about a 45 degree angle and focus on the ceiling…is you neck/head tilted back? I’ve been trying to focus on something on the floor to keep my head/neck in alignment with my spine…I used to look up, but read ‘taht’s badz’…

I see you’re in New York. Are you in the city, or do you ever get there? She Say and I went to Pete Luger’s Steak House last year and had like a 1999 Chateaneuf-du-Pape…I can still taste it.

You can always find a few nuts wherever you look…I’m one of maybe 3 in the agency I’m with.

Sometimes I travel with one…usually if I’m not drinking I’ll bring one to give me something to do. It just turns out that my sister has one at her house and the Russian had one at his…that’d be a great super power to have though…especially if I could then use the guitar to cast magic spells like, “charm pants off of sexy Russian women” and “get drinks comped by surly bartender”.
Thanks for the video links. They were helpful.
Hey thanks…
I am in NYC… and Peter Lugers is in Brooklyn
but in a different neighborhood then I grew up.
Its better to have fun at work or make work fun
I think that would be cool super power too

I have found that when I look at the floor I round my shoulders and have problems keeping scapula and lower back in proper position.

Second that. Guaranteed my hips will try to rise first if I don’t look at least straight ahead. Looking a little up is even better. What’s “bad” is extending your neck, but even that’s bad only in extremis.

Question on Dead Lift Form:
I’m working on sitting back more before I pull. I find this puts the bar in much closer contact with my shins. Is it fair to say using good form results in ‘dragging’ the bar up your shins?
yup. Or close enough to it. Isn’t a session goes by I don’t take some skin off.[/quote]
Wear tube socks for deads.

Nah, I’d need to find some really good Richard Simmons late 80’s shorts to go with.
I wear sweats that go to the ankles and still take skin off my shins.
Got in a set of sprints yesterday. Gonna go again today and try to get in a set every day actually.
My brother invited me to the army nave game, but I turned him down. His law firm gets a big bus and apparently it’s a drunken feast. I’d love to go…kinda…but…I know I’ll end up passed out drunk after chugging down 3 or 4 dozen chicken wings, pizza, sausage, etc…I’ll get there next year when they’ll hopefully play in baltimore.
Way to take one for the Say Team!
