I hope the squats went well for you.

This was the first time since we’ve been together that James has ever gotten a bug up his butt and decided it was time to clean from top to bottom and move the furniture around! He worked so hard! Now I know his hard work doesn’t only happen in gym settings, he can clean too!
I love you baby!

Jimmy T,
I am glad to see your traning is going very well.
Thank you for the compliment on our gym. We have invested some time and money into it and this summer it is going to get a lot of use. We both have 4 weeks until school is out for the summer.
I am in the process of getting some tires for both of us to flip. A 400 pounder for her and an 800 pounder for me. It has been a few years since I have played with the tires and I look forward to teaching my wife how to flip hers.
Keep at it and I will chat with ya later.
BiggJames
Early Morning Training Session. The last one before next week.
Squats: 140x8, 250x6, 340x3, 450x2, 550x1, 640x1 W/ Wraps and a belt
Deadlifts: 250x6, 450x2, 550x1, 650x1 W/Wraps and a belt.
It has probably been one of my worst training cycles I have had in a long time. My performance will reflect and I can make no excuses.
That Is All.
I was contacted by Tommy Hauge who asked for my permission to use me as an inspiration for a new Guido and Luigi comic strip. I’m pleased with the end result.

James…
I notice your weight progression usually starts off with 140 pounds.
Do you have a bar that weighs 50 lbs, or do you throw 2.5’s on?
(The former seems more likely, but I thought barbells were all 45 pounds.)
His collars weight 2.5 a piece 
My last bench day went very poorly.
BP: 140x15, 250x6, 340x3, 430x1, 490x1, 515x0
I left it at that. I will just re-adjust my opening attempt and go from there.
That Is All.
BiggJames,
You gotta believe brother!Make that adjustment and move forward.I have been very busy with work the last 8 days.

Hey BiggJames,
One more thing.The comic strip is awesome!
Jimmy,
Your training is going awesome. Keep at it. The deads will come once you start hammering away at them.
Thanks for the compliment on the comic stip.
I am competing Saturday so I will get back with you then.
Have a good one.
James
I had a very good weekend. I competed in what maybe my last powerlifting meet. After 19 years straight of competing, I am hanging it up. But, I ended on a high note.
Squat: 675
Bench: 500
Deads: 655
Total: 1830
I won my class,(SHW) I was the only one in it. Best bench and overall best male lifter.
I used only a singlet, belt, knee and wrist wraps. Semi-raw I guess some would say.
Now, it is time to drop some major body weight and start training for strongman. I love the events so much better. They are more fun and entertaining.
That Is All.
