I was going to go outside and do manly things today. Chainsaw the tree that blew over to pieces, ride around mountain top and then drink beer.
But…
I ended up attempting to get in touch with my feminine side and decorating the front entryway. After being initially told that I should have nothing on the walls to allow prospective buyers to imagine filling the empty canvas, I am now told by the Realtor and ex that some decorating needs to be done. So my initial attempt is add the silk plants, make the yin-yang mirror design, add the mirrors at the stairwell and the weave mirrors in the foreground. Also visible in the upper right is one of the silk trees I added to the living room. The only redeeming factor for the afternoon is that I started in on the Guinness a couple of hours ago…
Guinness will solve any problem and grow some hair on your chest despite the silk plants:) Not like my Miller Chill which screams girly beer. The YinYan mirror thingy is very cute. Did you decide that all on your own?
So, where’s the “Dogs Playing Poker” print? No velvet Elvis or neon bar signs? Throw down a rebel flag hook rug for goodness sake. Couple of stuffed critters from the taxidermy man over the fireplace, maybe? Copy of Modern DoubleWide on the coffee table next to a a cooling bottle of MD20/20 (get a good week), a tray of Viennie sausages and cheese in a can. Use the company’s coming glasses, the Dale Ernhardt ones, an your cleanest PBR coasters. Finishing touch is a SI swim suit issue in the john.
Some people just ain’t got no sense of style.
Your lifting looks great. A triple with your planned opener should be a great confidence builder. You ready.

Don’t forget to have some cookies baking and shit!!!
nl - the design and application was my idea, the idea to put mirrors in the entry was the ex’s. The plants were the realtor’s idea but I picked them out.
Harry, sfp, rug - what can I say, gotta hit mainstream and the bare look didn’t cut it.
Thanks skip - not room to clutter it up and I had to keep the cost down due to budget issues, so simple was the name of the game.
6/1/10
Bike trainer 5 min, SLDL barx20 (trying to stretch out my hamstrings)
Deadlies 135x5, 185x5, 205x5
Work sets: 235x3, 275x3, 315x3, 345x3 (previous opener on 12/6/09)
365x3 PR +2 reps
365 is my anticipated opener for the July meet. I was well pleased with the way these three reps went up. I still need to work on getting my legs involved more instead of doing a mostly stiff legged dead and as always I have to work on flattening out my back. Gonna stick to just the basics this week for the major lifts, since I’m checking out my anticipated openers by doing triples.

Since I do Trap bar instead of regular deads, my legs get involved but here’s a tip I figured out that works for me. Itmight work for you…Consciously skweeze your glutes as you start to pull. This little trick has helped me alot, especially since I like to fug up my back all the time.
