Danjo, glad to hear that the wife is okay. Only thing worse than something like that happening to yourself is for it to involve the wife or kid.
Also, great benchin’!
Hang in there with the school stress Capt’n Dan! and your wife as well - glad to hear that the biopsy turned out negative.
It’s good when a lump is just a lump. Best wishes.
You guys are all the best. Thank you and may God bless all of you.
Some excellent work going on over here. And to eco Eco and the others (sorry couldn’t resist) glad to hear all is aok with the wife. And damn you are balancing a lot, and doing it well. Not bad for a fellow old dude.

Nice deads, danjo. 410x10 is kicking ass! RDLs are not our friend…even if it does work.
I do RDLs b/c I’m not a big fan of rack pulls. Just don’t like 'em

I don’t mind RDLs. My lower back fatigues so easily, though, that anything after DLs sux.
I plan on alternating RDLs and Rack Pulls week to week.
Had to pass on squatting Monday b/c those RDLs murdered my hammies. They have never ever been that sore before EVER! I couldn’t bend over.

Was trying for 20, but was wicked junk after the 375 and high bars.
Nice work
375 x10 is tremendous
Benched over a week ago, not so great. 295x4, two less than the prior cycle’s second wave. That was on a week ago Friday, and didn’t make it to the gym at all last week. The school work was piled on. Went back today, but decided to reset my maxes, with a scaling back of bench and military press and start over again.

Great lifting Dan. I been throwing pushups as well. A much underestimated exercise.

Seeing how they work out. I always used to prescribe push ups and variations into the late phase of shoulder rehabs for athletes. It is a great exercise to improve shoulder stability.

270x11 (Rep PR) I’m fairly sure I did 12, I might have only done 9. It was one of those sets where I was in a zone and banging the reps and my count got fuzzy. You know what I mean? I’m really happy that I reset my Estimated 1rm and training 1rm. I feel tighter and I’m holding my set up better.
Push-ups
BWx15 / 5 sets
I was planning on sets of 10reps, I wanted to get my feet up higher and the only thing around was a bosu ball, so I did them on that. For using the Bosu, there’s no getting north of vag with that, yeah? Dang it!
