It’s a 6 hour drive… I can’t say that’s TOO close. But yeah, I’m ready to compete! Come on down, we’ll make you an official part of Team STS (it’s a secret name for now! lol PM for meaning). I’m pretty sure you’d wreck shop with us! :slight_smile:

So you weren’t logging cause you were off having a ton of sex?

Well that’s pretty awesome!

Hittin some PR’s afterwards? Even better!

BTW, I miss our WWF games…even though I beat you, you were a worthy adversary…

Also, my nutrition has still been sucking… probably why I’m so tired. Have all my meals ready for today and I’ll be cooking up a mess of chicken, pork loin, and steak tonight. It’s crazy how much of a difference good protein sources make!

I need to get more conditioning in. Seems like I’m staying late and coming in early to work and that’s killing my urge to condition. No excuses, I need to quit pussing out.

Press felt solid. I need to keep progressing. Seems like I lose focus on these sometimes and let my numbers slip. Headed up to the park to walk some miles with my dog-son. He likes the park/lake.

PR’d on taking reverse hypers home

Rip decided his old reverse hyper is useless, so I unbolted it and took that muhfugga home!!! YEAHHHHHHHHH BOIIIIIIIIIIIII! haha

Deathlifts felt good. I’m going to try to look up, instead of downward starting this next cycle. I see a lot of elite guys doing it, we’ll see how it feels. I’ve been into work the past couple off days to get crap done. Gotta love the military and being competent. Always makes for more work. I did volunteer for another deployment in the next month. I figure I can take my talents elsewhere, ya know?? FUCK ITTTT!!!

Feeling good and got a lot of stress out of my life today. BOOM! Sexican is back in action! (not a typo)

Where would you go this time??

Looks like I’m not deploying. :frowning:

So does that mean you’re awesomely stuck in Tejas? Or that you’re sad you couldn’t go to Idontknowwtf-istan.

Either way, lift moar. I accidentally read your CGBP of 195x5 as your strict press and was all “OH WTFBULLSHIT.” Glad I was wrong, because I’d have had to go try it and be mad if I missed.

Nice work, as always. And thanks for the shoe rec.

I’m mad because this was going to be a kick ass mission and I was finally going to be the team lead. But, I’m here in TX and doing my thing. Getting stronger and sexier by the minute. Yeah, my strict press is shit. I should be doing my 1RM days for 3 or 4. I’m not sure where, but I just effed some S up and I’m getting it fixed. All my lifts are progressing pretty well now and I’m working on just staying consistent until the meet in COCKtober. Freedom doesn’t sleep and justice never pulls out. Remember that!

When is the meet again? I’m lazy in the mornings. I am going to talk to the powerlifting crew and see if they’re going again this year. If so, I may tag along to run handler for everyone and take care of the little shit. You know what that means: T-Nation MEET UP.
