No kidding, return it and trade it in on some hookers and blow and see how that goes over. I bet the gym crap would turn into a big hit.
Just tell her it was on SALE! they get that and she will applaud your shopping savvy!!!
We all know how this game works.
She is out at Nordstom right now. Dude, lock the credit card before it’s too late.

All the time I spent catching up, and then this? That’s not right SD.
I’ve noticed that squatting is uncomfortable/weird feeling until I hit 250+. It’s almost as if the weight is not enough to force my body into the right groove until it’s that heavy. All my warmups and first work set just felt bugger, but 255 and 289 felt tight. Anybody else get this?
psh, I wish I had that same problem!
Playing with my Rolling Thunder and new loading pins.
Did some max lifts which were pathetic
115x3
Still - that’s 10 lbs more than I could do before and with doing no grip work at all. It’s a good starting point.
and some curls
45x2
which were also pathetic. I have tiny little hands and that mean old Rolling Thunder is mocking me.
I’m going to see if I can get up to 185 per hand. That used to be the starting point of strong, but ever since the Gillinghams and Mr. Felix starting mucking with it, the standard for strong has been raised to 235.
Bastards.
Better get to work on my visualizations, I guess - the one where I weigh 230, have no wrinkles and a big…
Bench.

Took the words right out of my mouth.
If my husband bought cool gym crap, I’d only be pissed off if he wouldn’t share.
Out of the many amusing thread titles of your past, this one wins the gold medal.
Rained today - and that’s “No Yoke.”
rats.
Okay - there’s a LiveSpill thingie in your hub (upper right corner). So far I’m using it for my little frenetic rants and homespun aphorisms cuz I really get off on the echoes of my own voice in an empty room. But what is it for really?
i thot it was some bookmarking/social networking thing. it probably pipes right to the head of Homeland Security, so they can keep an eye on you easier

I get this feeling a lot, especialliy when I am feeling stiff and achy walking into the gym. Sometimes I don’t feel right until my top set. I have played around with warmups and found that, for me, if I do my first set with the bar almost in slow motion and as deep as I can go–I am talking really, really slow and low–it helps get me into the groove a little quicker.

Still a bit down from squats. Didn’t do what I said I would and stick to the prescribed reps there so I’m paying for it today. I needed 9 reps for a PR. Good solid set though.
Weighted chins tomorrow.

You are warming up right ? If not try this.
walk up and down your stairs a couple of times- taking 2 stairs at a time.
stretch your hips out
do some quick very high jumps and sink into the hole like 3 sets of 3.
go sqaut
No, dear, your butt makes your butt look big.
Strong MP’s DCA!
