I’d like to see a vid of those DLs sometime too…strong indeed.

:D!!! Thank you Z!!! :)!!!
Didn’t have to be at work until 4am today but my body was ready to be awake at 1am… ok so I did Mossimo walks in the moonlight for around 1.2 miles. Big giant moon still with shadows and everything.
I DID lift though! After a mini nap again when I got off at 1pm. I did afternoon at the BB gym with no expectations but a decent lil session. Low expectations and a decent time mean its bonus bonus bonus!!! Sleep is super behind but that’s what luxury naps are for.

T bar carries indoors on the runway area- no clue the distance but not super far at all 337# x few trips about , 367# x whatever distance-- Ha! TBar PR!! Ok!
Farmers handle carries 152#/ arm, 162#/ and 172# were all decent amount of distances but not far
182#/arm x maybe ten feet at a time with a stop in there so more like suitcase deadlifts
A single 192#/ arm suitcase deadzo. Tried to get up 202#/ arm but I did not.
182# and 192# hoists per arm are both PRs
Pull ups 8, sets of 5 for so far 41 or so total
NICE giant padded ghr x 10
Mossimo cloudy moon walks x 1.5 miles

Are you a member now? It’s a pretty awesome place.
Hey Snap! I am a member now! I’m giving it a shot!
The hours are my FAVORITE PART. I heard it gets pretty action packed which is cool …but for me all alone vampire lifting gets the best results. I forgot how much I missed that after dropping 24 Hour Fitness membership 3 years ago and having a place to myself like at I used to at RMLC…lush!
And they have tons of stuff I wanna try without looking like a dweeb! The bars!!! The big giant pad ghr is wonderful!!
Today was just cardio since its too snowy and cold for a walk. Also pull ups
10, 2 sets of 8, sets of 2-5 for a total of 50
Back extensions
I’m kinda waiting for the crash to happen with my energy. Not much sleep again last night just all messed up and hyped or whatever and that’s just how it is!! For sure I’ll sleep well next thursday night with a belly full of green bean casorole!! :D!!
Nice Pull 
Not sure why you put the camera across the room but…
Welcome to The Jungle; we’ve got fun and games!

Thanks Z!!! I do like the place!!! :D!!!
Today was just cardio and laundry. I had work done on The Never Ending Tattoo which means a day off pull ups and other lat stretchers.
So elliptical and even the step mill for a bit. Step mills SUCK!!! They have to be the worst form of ss cardio as in its hard and terrible. Too cold for any type of walks today.
Here’s a lil video I found last night that I thought I didn’t take of my first ever 367# tbar lift. True to form with the left knee cave to start the hoist and all. I do have this cave for dead lifts and squats as well.
Its strange since Leftie has been my lift off leg for front and back squats as long as ever I’ve lifted and its weaker–I lift off in a split leg position. I know I can take the time to fix it but I just have not.

Your Vampire Goddess lifting is taking over the gym!! We need to get you out, lift with some day-walkers sometime…;)?
Maybe after the beginning of Dec.?? You, Karen and I; just Deadlifting and eating French Toast. Heavy carries optional (please)
Please, think about it:)
Z.
:D!!! I will think about it Z! Ultra Violent Rays do dissipate my power :{ so you’d only see me at 1/2 strength! But it’d be cool to have the pros show me what’s up!!
Today
fs 45x5, 135, 205, 225
200x10, 205x4, 210x2, 215x2, 225
200x5, 205x3, 215
To do some pull ups if my skin permits it and maybe other stuff today. Tuesday is a bit of a different schedule for me so we’ll see if I can fit stuff in or I’ll just drive to the 24 hour gym early early again. I might go back and try some mild dls today after work…or not.
EDIT: It caught up with me. Walking Moss in the dark and stil seeing electric neon spots with racing lines in my vision and then it arrived-- Migraine.
I called out of work to black out the house and try and sleep it off. I have to be careful my intake of stuff…this time the culprit must be the valarian root I took last night for a longer sleep! So no moe of that!

THINK about it…Ouch!!! Boy, that hurts…a shot right to the old pocket protector;)
Sorry about the migraine stuff; that’s a bummer for sure. Feel better soon; hopefully by Thursday morning:) (it’s Thanksgiving you know?)
well… I liked your post until you updated it about the migraine. 
Hope it passes quickly.
Z! I meant it as in MYSELF being the dweeb. I’m a total disaster goof ball mess when I’m at the gym with friends because I just can’t perform with any degree of seriousness around others. I default to dork!!! You’ll see.
Thanks 2B!!! Migraine did last but a few hours and it left me the whole rest of the day rest and hang out with my Beloved Mossimo.
I didn’t realize how much I needed a day out of work. I woke up today feeling very refreshed and better then I have in weeks. I even snoozed an alarm which I haven’t done in over a year. I usually wake up before them in anticipation. Good call Migraine! I needed the reminder of who’s really in charge!
Today
dead lifts 45x12, hook grip 135, 225, mixed grip 295, 345, belted 355
pull ups 8, 4,4,4,5 ss with rows of these types:
t bar apparatus 55# on the thing x 25, 70# x20, 90x 15, later neutral grip I guess it’d be 90 x10
machine rows wt x6, wt x5, wt x4
I feel much better today. I hope work doesn’t mess it up! I have a “supervisor” who has been newly appointed to her position and is a total joke. She has no business doing her job and she won’t do it of course, she’s lucky she “supervises” people who don’t need direction. She was a joke when she was a just a regular tech! She drives me insane but it usually was harmless and easily ignored or handled.
Now she is taking her newly - and ill advised- position of “leadership” to heart with laughable power trips. She has attempted to display her power to me in total The Office ways (“You really shouldn’t use a whole drawer for your Diet Mnt dews” or “Your undershirt is not an approved color of gray”) just because she knows I am tolerant and even tempered and won’t flat out berate her like everyone else would, but…even I have my limits.

pull ups 9, 2 sets, of 5, 6, wanna b l’s x 3
I tried some type of standing donkey kick type machine for glute work! I need to do some butt stuff but I loose interest very quickly in it. The ghr the bb gym got less then 6 months ago is already broken–its some strange style not a standard ghr. I attempted a few times to get some work on it but the pads move way too much.
Yesterday did end up doing more pull ups, and some L sit chins.
THANKSGIVING TOMORROW!!! I CANNOT WAIT!!! Tons of shit to be thankful for!! I get to see very special people ALLLLLL DAY !!! I’m a lucky Brute!
In my world (LEO/Military) the growing trend is to promote the dumbest people possible. Those who can actually do the job have to stay where they are because “we need you there, you are the best at what you do” Yeah, ok…piss on me and tell me its raining…Sounds like your world is the same.
IDAHO!! IT IS. And its a surprise too since for the most part my clinic has its shit together and really is hones about everyone’s strengths and weaknesses but this lady has one person in her pocket who doesn’t see how silly she is and is blind to her blazing faults. That one person is a medical director :{
Up early today because I have a full day ahead. Went to 24hour turbo gym.
Today
t bar carries 347# x strongman stuff to the dumbbell section straight shoot x 2 trips
347# x same distance with stops, then strongman stuff to the squat rack.
I’m going to measure this next time I go so it makes sense.
rack pulls mid knee hook grip 135x3, 225x3, mixed 315x3, 335x3, 355x3, 375x3, 385x3, 395, 405
oh carries 95# x walkway distance x four total trips
ghr 3 sets of 10
tried the reverse hyper x 5 with 25#/side
oh walking lunges bar only x walkway x 2 trips
ssb bar lunges/walks x walkway x 2
row machine thing 45# / side 3 sets of 7
reverse alt lunges just a set of 95# x 8/leg
A cluster of stuff but it was fun! Gym to myself until 2:00 and a guy popped in.

Happy Thanksgiving Brute,
I hope all is well. Your story about supervisor seems familiar. Almost makes me want to see if you some how ended up with mine.
Dang Powerful Brute;)

This is 2 AM, in case anybody missed it.
Hey HKD!!! Good to hear from you!! One consolidation in my case at least is its helpful to come up with juvenile nicknames for her that I share with my fellow coworkers!!! :D!!
My favorite is Captain Hook ( she slipped on ice outside and was in a sling for 6 weeks and did nothing with her arm for ten weeks milking her injury for all its worth–somehow I correlated this as having a hook for a hand), Captain Cranberry ( dyes here hair red but it turns out Ocean Spray Cranberry Juice Red), Captain Kangaroo (because why not?)… I’m busting up typing this even now!! AH HA HA!!! It silly but incredibly useful to disperse anger.
Z!!! Those rack pulls were minimal rom–mid knee was the starting point, but I do like doing them on the straps vs the safeties!! Thanks for the suggestion!!!
Here’s a vid of a 347# walk. You can’t see when I walk the other direction but can hear me plop the wt down.
I’m tired and sore today! So nothing excited except Mossimo walks and some mild cardio.
cardio
pull ups 10, 8, 2 sets of 4, 5, will do more today
maybe too stiff of stiff legged dl’s hook grip 135x 3 sets of 10 because my left hammie is super stretched. I feared hurting it so I stopped and rolled it a bit.
Thanksgiving was spectacular :D!!! No chance I’ll be forgetting it in a dragon’s age.
At the annual Turkey Day Feats of Strunght competitions I did not do hot but I did do push ups the first time since April or March and they felt hard but no clavicle pan. I’ll be adding them back in.
My bests- push ups a set of 15 that took forever and I felt everywhere-- brother in law did a set of 40
plank x 2 minutes
arm wrestled and won 2/4 matches- beaten by my sister once and my brother in law once!
