Wow, Hel. You don’t believe in foreplay on your deadlies. Just walk up and lift the damn thing! Nice work!
Thanks all. Math, it’s either goin up or it ain’t, no use delayin the outcome, just get to it. (Think that’s the long winded, redneck version of Nike’s “just Do It”)
Today really,really,sucked. Weather wise, that is. There’s nothing quite like that special feeling when that first stream of cold water gets under the back of your collar, makes its way down your spinal cloumn, past your belt, into the crack of your ass. And only 7 more hours of street time to go!
We got it as lots of rain. Ya’ll on the east coast are gonna get it as a big snow. Hope not too big.
Went to the gym right after work and changed clothes in the sauna while drinking a cup of joe. Feeling half human hit the weights.

Nice benching. Stay dry.
Sweet benching Hel!!
Great benchin. I know that water-down-the-crack-of-your-ass feeling. It sucks. Good work getting through it.

Shoulders/Bi
This morning
Legs/back
Off to the Vet home to wrap some presents
Great stuff my friend. There’s a little present for you on HT’s
Harry - It’s been great keeping up with you and watching things progress.
An early Merry Christmas to you and your crew.
Just catching up with your thread. You’re one strong mofo. I bet you could set some powerlifting records for 50+ year olds. Have a great Christmas Harry!
Just checked the alabama state records for apa-wpa federation. For raw, 242lb class the 50-54 masters records are: squat 425,bench 355 and dead 550. You could beat these any day of the week.
Hel great work this past week!
big benching and big pulling.
have a great holiday
Harry, My dad wanted me to ask if you had ever competed in the Highland games in Stone Mountain, GA. If so, when? Hope you all are having a great Christmas!

Thanks Steve, just went and looked at that site. I turn 55 in March. If I wait til then I can set records with 45-45-45-135! If they have a meet in this area and I can fit it in I’ll jump on it. My dance card for next year is filling up fast. Speaking of which. Just signed up for an open T&F meet at Alabama A&M in March. Means there’s no age categories so I’ll be competing against all comers. Hey, it’s a meet and it’s real near home.
Thanks Kmc, have a great Christmas. Next year you’ll have someone else to get presents for.
Stick, tried to get in on the Stone Mt. games last year. No go, very limited because so many want in and I didn’t have enough meets under my belt to qualify (politics!!)
I think I’m very near to going into some kind of sugar shock. It’s the damn peanut brittle. I can’t stop eating it and I swear I’ve gotten at least 20# of it this year. I’m doing a semi-fast today to make room for tomorrow. Tomorrow, starting off with breakfast and presents at the vets. Then out to a brother’s spread for the big cook out. Crappy weather coming. I’ll probably get the important job, icing down the kegs. Case I miss any one, hope all of you and yours have a great Christmas.
Merry Christmas Harry. It’s been fun following your log over the last 2 years. Looking forward to a bunch more in the future
Merry Christmas, Harry! Thanks for the Christmas SPAM!
Hope the holiday is magic for you and yours.
Merry Christmas, Harry, hope you and yours have a great one. Enjoy the Jamesons!
Merry Christmas Harry.
Happy Holidays to the Yoda of this forum. I’ve really enjoyed reading your more-than-just-a-log this past year.

I turn 55 next year as well. Don’t expect to set any records, other than enjoying myself.
I’m glad that there are a lot of foods that are only seasonal around here, or I’d be having a lot more trouble with my weight than I do.
Hope the food fueled good things for you.
Merry Christmas.
I’ll be 55 in August too. I hope to be stronger than I am today and meaner than a junk yard dog. Some thing won’t change and others will. Happy New Year, good luck with the games.
