Looks like Nature did a little bit of rearranging. Glad nobody was hurt.
Awesome lifting.
re: Tree – you guys have a big storm down there or something or did it just finally decide to kill itself?
I told Alabama not to make any pacts with the devil. Damn state never listens.
I thought the Devil went down to Georgia?

Leave Georgia outta this! Last time the Devil went there, some boy named Johnny kicked his ass.
Steely, those are all different trees. We had a little bit of a tornado down here.
As for you nawthaners: (west counts as nawth down here), J,J,J,Jack, sometimes you got to raise a little hell, and Tony, I don’t think Obama’s been to Ga since being elected.
Got to the gym alot later than usual last night. I had a brief moment of hope, quickly dashed. I guess it’s no surprise the only ones in the gym late on a Friday night are off the dating circuit, ie, bunch of old farts like me. Hope flaired as one fellow I guessed was bout my age lay on a bench loaded to 315. Another guy comes over, gives a good lift off. Yeah, okay, this is it. I’ve found the main herd and discovered when they come to the watering hole. Lift off complete. Pause,…twitch,…twitch,…twitch, rack. I swear, the bar moved an inch down and up. Now I personally like full rom but to each his own. Guy jumps up, I see it coming, I send up a quick prayer, “Please Lord, perserve what dignity is left to my age group”. Too late, they do a high five. I slink away. The only open area to do cleans is in front of the DBs. There are 6 guys doing curls there. Some as high as the 25s! I wait a minute. Each puts back their dbs, then leans on them til their next set. Ok, I’ll go start with some facepulls. Loosen up. Hookin up the rope to a cable when, “I’m using that”. I look around. This from a gentleman half way cross the room doing leg extension. I am a patient man, but, “naw, you usin what you sittin on”. “My waters there.” Sure enough, look down, plastic bottle of water. Look around, half the people are apparently doing circuit training, going from machine to machine. Screw ths shit. Up to the front again, start loaded the BB for cleans. “We’re doing curls here”. “Take the dumbells away from the rack and use them.” “We were here first.” End of patience, “I’m going to lift this here bar. You stand whereever the hell you want but it’s goin up.” And I lifted the bar up. They moved. Don’t think I’ll be invited to join their bridge club.
Ended up having a great workout.

Wife’s birthday so we’re headed out to paint the town red tonight. Take her through the drive in at Crystal’s and let her super size. I spoils the woman.
You should’ve shown those geezers (attitude, not age) your 300+ clean, and you would’ve cleaned away the attitude.
All the best to your wife, she’s a lucky woman; not every lady gets to super size.
I don’t spell his name correctly anymore. I spell it Obummer. Hoover of the 20-teens.
Give’em hell Harry. Thankfully there aren’t many like that at 4:30 am. All the best to the Missus. Hope she enjoyed the super size
Harry nice work, you are too polite.
should have given the youngens a boot in the ass.
I’m with the sock puppet, you should have taken them back behind the shed.
Guess I’m just too easy goin. Anyway, missus enjoyed her evenin out. Went out to a real fancy eatin place. They make this calamari covered in a real spicy thai sauce appetizer I love. Started with a lettuce wedge, then had a 20oz rib eye with a blue cheese crust and smoother in sauteed mushrooms, a 1 pound baked tater, and asparagus in a hollandaise sauce. We finished with this huge chocolate mousse courtesy of the house. Then to a play. It’s titled “Almost, Maine”. It was hillarious and one of our nieces was in a starring role. Good night.
Hit the gym real early yesterday.

May have a highland game lined up for as early as Febuary. See if it develops.
That is some big pullin’ and squatin. And, for some reason, I just got real hungry.
You are a friggin’ machine. Aren’t you supposed to get weaker after 50?? You give me hope for my future.
I’ve actually been giving some deep thought to that, Steve. When will I enter the no more gains zone? I see guys my age and older on You Tube a lot stronger than me so I say, okay, I can still gain. I also think, like most things, a huge part of lifting is psychological. Somedays when the weights start feeling heavy I tell myself, “Self, they ain’t heavy, you’re just bein a pussy.” Then I get in an argument with self, get mad, and the stuff don’t feel so heavy. (I know, they got drugs but I kinda like self).
Enough bs, dance card is getting full and the season fast approachs.

Nice work, Hel. Your intro had me thinking of Deep Thoughts by Jack Handy. You could change your thread title to “Deep Squats by Hel 320” or maybe not…
