Steve, great work squatting and getting leaner.
Everyone’s gettin skinny. Yawl be talkin bout body wax and oilin down next. Where have all the true men gone? Actually, health is the main thing at this point in our lives. And looking ggod.
i must try this “not eat ice cream” that you speak of…
My oldest son and I went to Canada Thur,Fri and Sat for a hockey tournament. Had a good time even though we got killed. I was good on the diet except for Friday night. I had to have some potine. Its gravy and cheese curd on fries. Sounds weird but everyone eats it up there and its quite good. The workout room at the hotel was very small so I did a lot of bodyweight stuff and complexes.
Looks to me like the strength is just fine as I read a 365 Front and a double at 299 with a fatty!! Nice work young man!
Thanks OG!

Good show! - with a lifting example like yourself, I’ll bet he keeps interested.
looks like some big work going on. congrats on the new lifting partner. are you 100% basement gym?
New lifting partner?..you can kiss your male dominance good-bye there will be a new sheriff!..but its well worth it.
Did you just ab roll what I pull?
nice work.
I had a basment gym as a kid- there is still a plate load pull down at my mom’s house.
Ps I just realize how much youve’ leaned out nice work there too Eco.
George, I’m trying to set a good example and a gentle nudge toward weights/BW training. I think once he sees some visable results or starts to easily beat his friends in physical games(arm wrestling,etc.) he will be hooked.
MJ, I’m a basement gym rat 100%. People may not like me training in a ripped sweatshirt or in my boxers at a commercial gym.
OG, I gave up my male dominance like 14 years ago. Just ask my wife.

Thanks Kevin. I’ve been a fairly good boy lately. A few glasses of wine may have passed over my lips but overall I’ve been really good.
MJ, I guess I lied a little. I hit the small gym at work sometimes when its a slow workday.

Have a ton of time to kill because almost all my patients cancelled today. My co-worker went down and did this with me.
I’ve done those rope pushdown drop sets before and those can be an evil mother.

The drop pushdowns did burn a bit Joe. Tomorrow looks even slower here at work. I’ll be hitting the squat machine and leg curl machine.
you are going to be all lean and swole at this rate. good work
Pete, I’m hoping to see an ab in a couple weeks.
Tonight at home:
Several sets of OH squats with minimal weight
saftery bar box squats 315 3x8 sets (no shoes or belt)
Minimal rest btw box squats sets. My son did zerchers and db bench press.
Couple more slow days at work and we’ll loose you to the bodybuilding forum. Good work.
