Sent them back Monday. Actually the vendor tried to have UPS pick them up from me, but my wife, in her nesting frenzy, found the dirty ripped up package they came in (saved in a safe spot) and promptly threw that out. So I had to pay the shipping back.
walked a couple of miles
Hope your feelin’ better.

Stout. Absolutely stout. And that must be a 3x shirt just to get the top button buttoned.
Is the young fellow on the left the previously mentioned gym pirate?
i think guys like you and me really need facial hair. i feel i’m more attractive when you can’t actually see my face. i just started growing a goatee that takes up most of my face.
have you ever gone the beard route?? i really think that might be the key to real strength.
Meat, I am contemplating the full power beard. My only problem is a large portion of my beard comes in this weird silvery color.
Strick, that indeed is my pirate friend. My best friend and ever present companion. Right now he is doing cuban presses with my wife’s 3 lb dumbbells.
All right, they are my dumbbells.
the pirate meathead club. how awesome is that?
I miss rocking the beard as well. while I don’t think it will help my numbers much, god i hate shaving. when I have a beard, it looks like I spilled milk out of both sides of my mouth. i rocked the van dyke with lamb chop sideburns in college, and the look does not work for me. I want to grow another mountain man beard like I used to have.
and i want more tattoos.

That is going to be one sad young man when you go back to work. I am happy for both of you, though, that an otherwise bad situation has given you the time.
And that silvery color is just experience.
Strick, you are very right. He is very accustomed to be being by my side at all times. It is great, but he even gets a little upset when I go to walk the dogs without him.
Training today was horrible. I am letting various stress factors get to me. That and I should not be doing pulldowns the day before dl’ing. And I haven’t deloaded in too long. If you don’t pick your deload, your deload picks you.
rack pulls, mid shin: 135 x 10, 225 x 5, 315 x 3, 405 x 3, 495 x 3, 585 x 1, 655 x 1, 715 x 0. Back cramped up on my after just breaking it. Let it go.
GMs 135 x 5, 225 x 5, 315 x 5, 375 x 5. Back feeling like shit from top to bottom. Hoped to hit 425 x 5, but shut it down.
barbell step ups 4 x 8, up to 275, focusing on getting left leg to fire.
shrugs 4 x 15, up to 495.
upside down abs 3 x 10
hyperextension, cranked 3 x 10
was going to do the prowler, but it was a torrential downpour leaving the gym.
Back spasms blow. You been hitting it so hard and heavy you’re right about needing a deload. Maybe even a few days off wouldn’t hurt.
I know deloads are good, and logical, but I hate deloading. I keep telling myself to deload but then that other voice says ‘pussy, deload when you are dead.’ Frankly, feel like the list of stresses, i.e. wife is about to pop out the baby, I am still out of work, financial security just doesn’t exist, bills to pay, etc. it taking a psychological and physicall toll on me right now.
That, and I sure did pick the wrong week to give up ibuprofen.

Why did you give up Ibu? I cycle between Tylenol, Advil, and Aleve. Seems easier on the stomach and they keep doing what they are supposed to.
Pete- sorry for the dumbass prowler question but here goes: how smooth or flat does the surface you prowl on have to be? My driveway is about 120ft long but has dips in the pavement from frost and settling…any thought is appreciated.-OG
OG, best surface is somewhat smooth, with recent gravel. But a little variet keeps it interesting. I scope out parking lots now just driving around. Even my wife spots them for me sometimes.

Dude you look GREAT!
And to think you’re on the Dark side… Dang!
So much for stereotypes…
Why your a big Forker aren’t ya!
Looking good Pete!
made a post that didn’t make it:
today 25 elliptical plus 2 mile hilly walk. finally rain stopped, got some time outside. helped mood a little. my fb post for the day was : ‘sick of trying to act like a well adjusted member of society.’
saw the baby again today, technology is amazing. right now, at the end of the 33rd week, baby weighs 6lbs 2 oz. If the kid goes full term he will be about ten pounds. Doubt that is going to happen.

I was just reading through this. Now that I’m well into menopause I feel the beard route my be my big payoff for the rest of the bullshit. Sure I get hot flashes but this goat like beard conveys some big ass strength.
