A 5’8" 196 freshman. Jeez, and three more years to grow. Was your older son same size at this age?
@biker for clarification Bullpup is my oldest lol. Hes my 18 year old whom just entered college this fall .My youngest is a junior in High school. I would kill if either of my sons where rock solid 196lbs @ 5’8 would have made things interesting in their athletics.
Right shoulder is giving me familiar warning signs not to lift as planned…since im too damn old to play macho man and have some wisdom im going to listen.
Ok, got sons sorted out. With deference to your younger son, your oldest is same size as some of the training logs’ guys under 35 who do strong man training.
Must be the Indiana water.
Probably…all the chemicals from are agriculture thats found its way into the water causing mutations.
Pissed off shoulder still… digging out the cryo cuff from the last surgery and plan on icing most of the evening.
What pisses me off is that my shoulder didn’t start acting up until 2 days after a work out…more than likely the root cause is I probably slept wrong on it. GO FIGURE
Must be different chemicals nowadays. I grew up in Indiana farm country and was weak as a noodle.
HEY CAV!!! HOWS IT GOING!!!
Glad you drop in!!
HELL YEAH!!! ITS THAT TIME OF THE YEAR AGAIN WRESTLING SEASON!!!
ILL be damned looks like my youngest son is stepping into his oldest brothers shoes nicely on the squad.
First Meet last night and he pretty much dominated!! He went 3-0 one win by tech fall the other 2 by pin. If last night was a sample of how the season is going to play out i might have to eat crap (which I will be happy to do in this case). Because I mentioned to my wife I didnt think that the youngest would make it to semi state like his older brother has done. Its a long season here is hoping I will be made out being completely wrong
Thanks! Been job hunting, so too depressed to post much. Just had an interview I THINK went okay, don’t know. Anyway, been posting off & on on Pushing 60, been making some progress here and there. Glad to see you’re recovering.
Hang in there and keep on trucking! things will look up ![]()
Dakota is home for the Thanksgiving Holiday… worked on his squat form this afternoon. Went back to square one and put him back onto a parallel box. Think hes grasping the concept of engaging his hips more and not being so damn quad focus.

Hot damn… Got my hands on high quality low fat protein source for the winter for a very low price. A friend of mine is having a good year hunting this year and offered me up a Button Buck for only the cost of processing.
To dam funny (the picture); that’s a nice holiday treat for sure.
Enjoy, along with the family time.

you thought I would miss your offspring wrestling videos.
Bullpup 2 looks good- took his firemans/highcrotch and followed it up.
good work .
Both your kids are fine boys- and academics as well - good work.
thats part directed at you and the Mrs.Bulldog
your not the only one reaching for cryo cuffs in my case its ice paks
I have several on rotation + tens machine.
sigh.
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone in the Dog Pound!

Everyone have a safe and Happy Holiday!
LOL wife wont touch it for some odd reason
Id figure with your back ground you would watch it sooner or latter since season is starting… ![]()
I call him TAZ because his personality matches the cartoon character to a certain extent.
Actually I think he threw the move because it was one of his older brothers signature moves and wanted to impress “Big Bubby” who was in attendance.
I appreciate that compliment ![]()
yeah aint it great being old!! ![]()
