Actually, I’m back in Tejas man. Living in Lubbock. Couldn’t handle the gloomy Portland weather, haha. Been busy, but part of the reason I haven’t been posting is the forums have gotten ridiculous. Everything devolves into personal attacks and unnecessary shit talking, and I just got tired of it. Maybe it’s always been like that, but it made posting unfun. I’ll be around though bro. Have some new dunks, but haven’t got 'em on vid. I’ll get 'em up soon though. Hope all is well brother.
So fun to watch your video Gregron! That’s awesome! You are making me want to learn hang cleans when I get back on my game. I don’t know why I pictured just cleaning the bar and then pressing it into an OH press, not a squat. Maybe I’m thinking of a clean press. I still get befuddled by the terminology sometimes.
As for weight fluctuations, Chinese food (salt carbs) can make my weight go up about 4 pounds sometimes.
Ink- Thats the sort of experience that Im counting on. I dont like strip clubs and wont be doing the stipper thing but if there are random girls who want to flash our boat??? Who am I to stop them 
WF- Back in Texas huh? Yeah the gloomy weather in the pacific north west kinda sucks. I can see how SAD is a real thing when living in that all the time. Yeah I know what you mean about the boards. I try to just stay away from all that cause it just bums me out. There is no reason for people to just rip on eachother all the time. Too much negativity (mostly from immaturity I think) and I dont like it. I dont hang out with negative people in real life and dont want to be around that on the net either… i feel ya. I look forward to seeing some dunk vids for sure. I played some hoops for a while last week and it was a lot of fun.
Puff- Glad you liked the video. I hadnt recorded anything in a while and was just on a roll. I did feel like a tool though taking a vid of curls lololol but whatevs. Cleans are fun. Honestly thats why I like them… I hope they will help increase my vertical jump/quickness but in all reality I think they are a really fun lift to do and I enjoy doing it. You definitely should try them out when you’re back to feeling good. I’ve had weight fluctuations before but I didnt expect it to be 5lbs heavier in the morning than in the afternoon. that was the weird part.

Dont lie you miss the big T and the women.
As far as T-Nation goes, man that is just internet life. You find the for real guys and ignore the internet warriors.
Yeah man, SAD is a legitimate thing. Apparently the stretch from Portlandia to Seattle is the suicide capital of the world, and it’s no secret why. Glad to hear you’ve been hoopin’, guess that means all the kinks are getting worked out. Been playing a ton myself, and actually have had a few local high school and juco kids ask if I can help 'em with their games, specifically skill development stuff and getting stronger for ball. Thinking about starting up a local “skills development program” so I can make a little dough, but not sure how/where to start. Posting from my phone so not sure how to post vids, but I’ll figure it out. Be good man.

I hear ya DJ, it just gets old when almost every discussion in the GAL forum turns into e-Dick waving contests. The sad part is that most of it comes from a select few posters who are all over 30.

I know, but I have one of those jobs with a lot of down time. So GAL lets me pass the time, I also can say I have meet some really good people on here (Greg being one of them) and so I just interact with them. All the other posturing and shit I just ignore, I have that power. Just my .02 your a good guy, I just think you also like to argue (which is not a bad thing) the older you get the less and less you argue with ignorance.
^^^ See what you’re saying, and you’re right about my being arguementative, but I don’t think I’m insistent on starting e-shit either. Maybe I’m just getting sensitive in my old age, haha.

Nope you should be a lawyer, you see something you dont agree with you want to discuss it. Some people just cannot discuss things they get personal no matter how much they say other wise (those I will not mention cause honestly not everything is black and white). It took me a long time to get here, I used to be like you take my word for it.
Now I just pick my battles.
I make 6 figures, regional manager of a state with potential partner in 20 million a year company, have a great wife, Harley and huge house.
Nobody on this site can say anything that will hurt my pride and the way I am on here is the way I am in real life.
HIJACK!!!

Oh, oh, I love this game! I’m guessing $43.22!
Inky, all that candy and nary a pork product? (nice arrangement, btw)
Greg, I think your cleans looked great! Way better than mine actually. Crazy knee wobble was crazy! But you caught it, and stood up, so frankly that’s all that matters.
Short and sweet on the upper body sesh is perfect. No need to dilly dally, get in and get out.
Oh hellz yes for the bachelor party! Drunken co-eds loves them some bachelors!! Lots of titties will be flashed in your honor, good sir. Enjoy!
oh, and as an after thought (lol! a bit creepy), those cleans and front squats are bound to make your booty oh, so juicy! sigh.
ok, i’m done now.
Haha DJ, pic was perfect!
Masch, I can’t reveal until Greg guesses! Pork products weren’t on sale, sadly, but the t-bones and chicken thighs/legs were! Want some M&Ms? We got plenty! How about some toothpaste? 
Greg, I was sweating so bad last night, i could have used a Gregron Headband, but I had no sleeves! Not like I’d have used it anyway…LOL
DJ- No problame-o me amigo (im so good at spanish)
nlmain- I havent not thought of a new name… I’m open for suggestions
Ink 1- ohhh thats a good lookin spread there… Too much candy though. If I had that candy I would eat it all in like 5 minutes lololol I’m going to guess $37.71 cause you said your wifey was da bomb at coupons.
Masch- Thanks. I’ve been working cleans lately and want to get that form down. Will be posting more vids and hopefully they will be better (not counting todays vid… its lame as balls) How did you know? Thats the look I’m going for… the “oh so juicy booty” look. lulz
ink 2- SEE!!! You needed the H Band brah! seriously… just try it out one day and after the workout if you hate it you can not tell anyone (guaranteed that you’ll like it though)
Check out this tank top? I need this biotch! This is going to be my new jam. “Suns out! Guns out!” bitches!!!
terrible leg day was mother fuckin awful!!!
Hit the gym for squats. Was feeling good until the actual squats started.
jogged to the gym
foam roll, stretch, activation stuff
Front Squats:
135 x 12
185 x 8
225 x 8
275 x 1 <-lol then 3, 3 (the 1 and the 3 were on video)
315 x 0 vid drop 225 x 7 vid drop 135 x 20 brutal… no vid 
I hit the rack on that 275 x 1 cause I had to squat in the shitty rack. The cage was being used up by two guys who were curling 75 effing pounds. Then when i was squatting this old guy was creepily checking me out. There are a lot of gay guys at my gym and I dont mind it but this old guy (late 50’s/early 60’s) was just STARRING. Not glances or whatever but just creepily staring and on the leg extension machine behind me. Honestly… it was fucking gross and very “pedophile” feeling… was definitely in my head and fucked up my workout.
my back was/is really sore from back day the other day and it messed up my form. I had A LOT of trouble keeping my back tight and you can see on the vid that I dip forward a few times cause I just couldnt maintain my tightness… sucked. very demoralizing leg day TBH
DB Single leg stiff leg DLs:
50lb DB’s x 8, 8, 8
DB Step Ups:
50lb DB’s x 8, 8, 8
GHR:
12, 10, 7 (I have never really done these and I liked them. I recorded the last set. was alternating with some other guy so could only video the last set)
shitty leg day… on a good note: I got a little haircut today. got cleaned up because tomorrow my fiance and I are doing our engagement photos. Should be fun. FINALLY got my FBI background check back and got registered as an EMT in SD county. I’m not “officially” an emt… got a cool little badge and all lololol. Got some new workout shorts today. Sports Authority was having a sale and I got 3 new pairs which was awesome. Got some more protein powder today. havent had any in over a month and have been “supplement free” since I ran out. Had a shake today with creatine and lucine… so thats kinda cool I guess?
aaaaaanyway… a good day turned into an awful day cause of the gym experience I had. Real sucky… Gregron needs a beer…
EDIT: Sorry for the foul language… Im not much of a curser but i’m just heated/bummed. my appologies friends… stay classy (cause I sure as hell arent right now)
Damn man, getting perved on by the creeper old dude. Should have teased him with some sumo stance stiff legged DLs, and he would have had a heart attack, haha!
That 315 wasn’t a fail, it was just a negative rep! I really gotta get on the front squat train, they’re so hard though, lol.
I’ll get a beer with you bro, just not at the Brass Rail in H-Crest!
Yeah, what Ink said. You shouldn’t call the 315 a fail, just call it a CT program half-rep slow descent eccentric or something. Or maybe a supramaximal deload or something.
