I had a epiphany and purchased some bra extenders yesterday. Now I can wear my pretty ones again!! This is a big deal since I refuse to spend more then $15 on a bra and I refuse to wear a non colored one–I need color!
My back has changed. From 38-39" to 41"…and I love it!!! : )!!!

BTW, thinking of you the other day; dog related story.
Met a new lady, and Lab-O-Doodle, around my property last week. I asked to ‘meet’ the dog, she said “he’s not friendly with men sometimes”. I leaned over, arms open, the dog came up, stood up and wrapped his legs around my trench coat to hug me, literally. I hugged him back, of course while he leaned into me; the gal was dumbstruck.
Too funny.
I’m not bragging, just saying!
:D!!! Thanks guys!!! I really appreciate it!! I was so thrilled but no one I talk to in person on a regular basis really gets the big deal. You guys do! And its very much appreciated!
At work someone remarked when I lifted a dog up onto a table for a procedure. She seid “Well ok! You just dead lifted 70 pounds!” and meant it as a compliment. I took it that way but in my head I was celebrating another deadlift.
Thanks Karen and Eric…but the only platform I’ll ever go on again is maybe to pat a buddy on the back for their stuff! I’m over wt classes and benching. And back squats too.
HA! Sounds like you got a doodle hug Eric! Its good you were polite and asked permission first, not everyone does. That doodle appreciated your manners

Somethings happened because I felt strong on those walks today. Gradual change for sure but I DO feel all over stronger in general lately. SWEEET!!!
I couldn’t wait and had to try the dead lift setup Dbasler suggested. I have the day off so I just tried to see what’d happen.
dead lifts today
hook grip 45x10, 135, 205, mixed grip 275, 320, 350 ← all went up well…380 never left the floor
I tried 375…nope!
It was good to see I could jump to 350 though, really good! That was such a sticky wt for a long time, and I’m going to use a different loading sequence hence forth.
I jetted the gym …a guy putting on some type of super spear-minty muscle pain/anti inflammatory cream was really going for it and it smelt nauseating. Probably a vision of me in the future but the odor was much too much.
oh 2B! It smelt like he was putting enough horse liniment for Derby Day! Must work since he still lifted I think, I however fled the cloud of spearmint.
Thanks DBasler! Could have been too soon but I couldn’t wait! I was so excited! I’m not giving up or getting greedy. I still am excited about the PR that took so long to happen actually occurring

Hard to get out of bed this morning after 4 lazy days of sleeping in. I was surprised I got what I got done in the gym, each moment kinda telling myself its enough…but there it is.
Thanks DBasler!!! I appreciate the vote of confidence too! Its helful mental motivation for lifts! I intend to use it as well

That’s it.
The pull up lunge chin up program did not make it a full continuous month because my old golfers’ elbow acted up with all the chin up volume :{ But I liked the results! Pull ups felt so much better and my arms feel tighter in a muscular way. I do love those add a rep everyday home lil workouts so I’ll give it a week and restart something else. I think the bw lunges filled my quads out a bit too which I am pleased about.
Also yesterday at work my right knee felt pretty swollen. I think its more work related then lifting since I do a lot of kneeing, squatting, holding down dogs on the floor or just generally on my knees and twisting at work all while standing most of the day. I have bursitis in my left knee too, I think from kneeling so much at work.
That right knee has a kinda floating patella feeling sometimes when I squat. I ordered some knee sleeves to see how that would feel. I am not sure they will help but they don’t seem to be something that would hurt since I am no where near retirement and need those knees for another 40 years.
Sucks!!! Walking him is such a dream but I can’t have a bum stifle on My Beloved.
