also… if you can make it. i’ll be judging the april meet at brute strength gym. it would be awesome to see you again. i’ll be competing in the feb. 19th meet but i think i remember you saying you couldn’t make that one.
Can’t do Feb, but April is possible. Waiting on Drs. with this kidney stuff, so I can’t plan much. It’s supposed to happen sometime this spring, but who knows.
I’ll be up there, sooner or later, count on it.

I never thought I’d hear you say that.
Gear is strange. Many people are totally opposed and cannot understand the appeal. But those who are drawn . . .

hell, sometimes I wish I could break the gear addiction, it adds so many hours onto my training each week.
F6? I have both a single ply and a double ply one sitting in a drawer, used the single ply in one meet, the double in 3 or 4 meets. Like the shirt, but yeah, if you are used to touching high you need to adjust. not as much as other shirts.

Thanks Colin, I agree, Just trying to be strong, without the weight getting out of control.
The wife swears I’m two different people. She wanted me to go live under a bridge when I was dieting.
The Lady who needs the kidney, saw her Dr. Fri. Kidney function about 25%. They want to wait as long as possible, and will re-ck her in 6 weeks. Then the surgery takes another 2 months to schedule.
Looks like late spring, early summer…or later. I’m going to train hard, and squeeze in another competition or two. Might make Brute Strength’s meet in April.
They finished poking and prodding me, got the green light. They stress the heart, not by running on a trreadmill, but by giving you a drug in the arm.
Target rate 145. Usually one dose does the trick. They had to give me 3 to get it up there. Heart is in good shape. Or I’m stubborn to the core.
Dr. ask me how I felt with heart pounding, laying on a table, perfectly still…feel like I ought to be breathing hard or sweating, it was wierd.

Get wider and that will pretty much be it.
Thanks X, constantly working at bigger, stronger.
Thats a badass lower body day.
I’ve never done DL’s after squats and even the idea makes me want to vomit a little.
congrats on the squat PR
Joe, been doing Deads after squats for awhile, but you might be on to something, as I have kicked up the volume. Might move some stuff around.

Received my new single ply squat suit. I managed to get it on,and just tried to get a feel for it. With the straps up, I might squat about 4 inches…with 135 lbs, lol! Barely reach the bar on deads, this is going to be fun! Will get into it more next week.
Will you be using the new suit at the meet?
The one in March, will be raw. I might do one in April or May…thinking hard on doing it in gear. I’ll see how things go. It definetly adds more to the whole adventure.
