Tony, here’s the video of my 1st set at 405. Just figured the singles would be boring.

Thanks, Harry. It was an eventful evening. Fortunately, not too eventful.

Like butter.
Smooth and easy. Nice work.
It didn’t feel too buttery. It is really nice to be able to get agigtated with the workout, though, and do a couple of sets at 405, just because. For me, that is still a magical number.
And that spot is really tight and sore, today. It is about the size of the palm of your hand, about 6" below the top of the femur and, if sitting, starts just above the separation…straight down the leg from the top of the femur. Looking at leg anatomy pics, it looks like it is in the IT band.
I will go really light during the deload and see if it gets better.
Man you snapped that bar off the pins like it was 135…and powered out of the bottom…impressive work going down in OK! If its your IT band, a foam roller would hurt like hell but be very helpful in the healing process.

And I have just such a torture device. I was actually thinking this morning that I needed to roll the heck out of it. I knew I should have been…but I’m a sissy…and it hurts.
That 405 came up fast. Very powerful looking. Heavy singles are never boring.
DAMN SKIPPY!!! I like me sum heavy singles… Great lifting!
Thanks for dropping by, Carl. There sure aren’t boring to do.
I like them too, Wilson. The damnable part of it is that switching back to 5/3/1, and , hence, higher reps, is what really got it aggravated. It was only slightly annoying when I was going heavy.
Must be a sign. My squats need to stay on the heavy side.

Could be the rectus femoris. Does it pain you at the bottom of the squat? Those suckers do a lot of work holding things steady so the big muscles can do their thing.

It hurts the most in the bottom half of the squat, when I am pushing my legs out. Of course, right now, walking up stairs makes it hurt.
Big squatting, Strick. We also get the big tornados here, my favorite part is when the temp suddenly drops right before things go to shit.

Oh yeah, I forgot about the temperature change. It was around 68 or 69 when it started to come through. 30 minutes later it was 82 degrees and humid as hell. Well, okay, maybe hell isn’t humid…but Southern Hell would be.
And I rememeber, from my GA days, that AL got a lion’s share of the southern tornadoes. We had out share, but not like Bama.
Strick-Since this occured in OK I thought you would appreciate it based on yoru comment above
Dr. Schambaugh, of the University of Oklahoma School of Chemical Engineering, Final Exam question for May of 1997. Dr. Schambaugh is known for asking questions such as, “why do airplanes fly?” on his final exams. His one and only final exam question in May 1997 for his Momentum, Heat and Mass Transfer II class was: “Is hell exothermic or endothermic? Support your answer with proof.”
Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle’s Law or some variant. One student, however, wrote the following:
"First, We postulate that if souls exist, then they must have some mass. If they do, then a mole of souls can also have a mass. So, at what rate are souls moving into hell and at what rate are souls leaving? I think we can safely assume that once a soul gets to hell, it will not leave.
Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for souls entering hell, let’s look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Some of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, then you will go to hell. Since there are more than one of these religions and people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all people and souls go to hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in hell to increase exponentially.
Now, we look at the rate of change in volume in hell. Boyle’s Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in hell to stay the same, the ratio of the mass of souls and volume needs to stay constant. Two options exist:
If hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter hell, then the temperature and pressure in hell will increase until all hell breaks loose.
If hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until hell freezes over.
So which is it? If we accept the quote given to me by Theresa Manyan during Freshman year, “that it will be a cold night in hell before I sleep with you” and take into account the fact that I still have NOT succeeded in having sexual relations with her, then Option 2 cannot be true…Thus, hell is exothermic."
The student, Tim Graham, got the only A.

I love stories like that. Another one of mine was a philosophy final…The only question: Why?
The only answer that got an A: Why not?

Lol…that is a classic.
Kind of a blah day. Last night my sinuses filled (had been threatening for a couple of days), low grade fever, body aches…the usual. Took Sudafed, Ibuprofen, a Zyrtec and used some Afrin. Feel better this morning. Just kind of drained…and still draining.
Now I just have to get my sh!t together for this afternoon. Military at 205#. Last time I tried this I missed my goal by 3 reps and did the two step with the bar over my head. Hopefully this time is better.
Better go eat…
Just stay from me until you’re feeling better. Course, with your numbers, I’d be happy to trade places…

If you are in Cali, you’re safe. I am downwind from you.
Ah…your numbers will catch up soon enough. Besides, I don’t think you want the extra body weight that came with it
