Fortune Favors the Bold

Glad you’re back!

Yeah. That MP may be a PR, but it doesn’t look like your max.

I don’t know how much more, but I know you got more in you, based on that bar speed. Great lift!

Closing in on that 300# aren’tcha!

Good to have you back Skip. Helluva vid big guy!

Thanks kpsnap and Jack. Looking at the video, there might be 5 or so more pounds. It will wait, though.

Soldog - 300# is still a looooong way away. MP moves so slowly. I am going to try focusing on it, for a bit. The best method is still trial and error, though.

Thanks, Wilson. It is good to be back. You can’t tell it, but when I exploded at the bottom of the rep, my back popped in 3 places…lol Guess I got the explosiveness I was aiming for.

Welcome Back! Now get back to work!

Oh, I never quit working. I just wasn’t talking about it…lol.

Then there is yesterday. I get a call, from my sister-in-law, telling me that my wife is hurt. A TELEVISION fell on her head. Hmmmmm…

Turns out, she was hooking up an old game cube, for my daughter. As she was pushing the TV stand back into place, the tube (back of the TV…no, not a flat panel) was against the wall. So, she pretty much pushed the stand out from under the TV. It, of course, fell and brained her.
I get home and she had a huge knot on her head, was nauseous, experiencing dizziness, light and sound sensitivity and her head was killing her.

Off to the ER we go. A CT Scan later and they confirm that her head is too hard to be fractured. But her brain is not too hardened to resist a mild concussion.
She is doing fine, if not feeling like a dolt :slight_smile:

Also, went and watched my daughter cheer, last night. Football team go creamed, 22-0. Poor guys. Their fundamentals are questionable. But they were just physically outmatched. Hard to believe that some of those kids are just 10.

Bulldog - my hat is off to you. Coaching little ones would be VERY hard for me. I am far to militant about fundamentals. They just don’t get it when they are that young. Watching it is like fingernails on a blackboard.

Back and biceps later today…

Wow, lots going on. Its funny, when I read “TV fell on her head” I immediately thought of a 250 lbs. Sony CRT and thought its a big deal. Then, like you said, you need to qualify it with–its not one of those new flat panel TV’s. I think most kids today would immediately think, “so she got hit by an LCD TV that weighs like 2 lbs., so what?” Tech is moving fast. In any event, I’m just glad she’s alright.

Good to hear the wife is okay. Congrats on the big pressing.

Glad the wife is OK. Hope we dont see her on Stan Lee’s Superhumans…

I love that show!

Thanks gents. She is okay. Just got a really sore spot and a knot about the same diameter as a baseball. It’s already starting to turn a nice shade of blue. To top it off, she was playing with my littlest, this morning, and he managed to kick the exact spot.

Kids are so good at that.

I completely missed that MP PR!!! You killed that…

Sweet vid strick…glad mamma is OK!

Thanks Schmidt and DZ. Something has to be moving forward. And God knows nothing else is.

X2!!

Thanks OG, Wilson. My back really needs the work. I hope that it will indirectly help with my pressing.

Great work Skip.

Glad to read your wife is OK. The other night my family and the neighbors were having a fire in the backyard. I was poking the fire with an 8 foot 2x4 because the fire was so hot a shorter poker just wouldn’t work. Somehow I fumbled the 2x4 and it flopped out of my hands and hit my unsuspecting wife right in the forehead. Not as bad as a tv falling on your head but she had a big egg and bruise. I felt terrible but was forgiven.
