Happy Belated Birthday! AS always looking strong(er) in here. Did you here anything back from on the job thingy?
Colin, only heard is that decision has not been made. I have been interviewing for this job 6 weeks now. Never thought this process could be long. Large company, and this job is part of a political/cultural shift. Oh well, at least I haven’t been told no yet.
Today I stretched and foam rolled twice before lifting. I need to keep at it, hopefully the pain in the upper back will become more manageable. Also upped the dose on the ibu.
Squats, warm up to low box: 145 x 5, 235 x 5, 325 x 5
Briefs on: 415 x 3, 505 x 3, 555 x 3, 595 x 3. Very small PR. Completely goodmorniged the bar out of the mono, I have to stop doing that.
GHR, Hang Leg Raise, dumbbell shrugs 5 x 10-15 each in circuit
prowler 90 x 40 yards x 10
short on assistance work time, had to pick up bro-in-law from bus station, in town for the week. He is 18, younger than my oldest son.

yeah, need to get this back fixed. know a chiro who might be able to take care of me.
I will be in the shirt Saturday. Think I will run a cycle of two weeks shirted, one raw. Or something like that.
I was screwing around looking for something else, and came across this link, and thought you might be interested.
GG is where I saw most of the shows that I went to in high school, and I was at said infamous Circle-Jerks show referenced in the blog. That one actually set the stage for another rather nasty run-in with the man several months later that resulted in a police car getting set on fire and a lot of cracked skulls that were not mentioned in the blog. Good times, good times indeed.

careful pete. your triceps will get all swole.
Pete, my tri assistance movement is basically dips. I feel like I need something else for tris to move my bench and OHP. What are the one or two best tri exercises for bench and OHP, in your opinion?

For your OHP? You wouldn’t be thinking about the race to 225#, would you? If so, the best tricep exercises are concentration curls and crunches. Trust me! You’re OHP will go through the roof!

Dammit, Pete! You weren’t supposed to give good advice. At least not at first. 
Thanks Pete. Strick, at least now I know who my enemies are.

Wasn’t it Churchill who said something to the effect of, “We have no allies on the mainland, just interests”?

Shit. That still holds true today. 200yrs ago, they sent us all thier good-for-nothins and look what happened. The greatest country on the planet. My research paper was on immigration.
At some point I just have to do normal DLs. Got an email reminding me that I am doing a meet in October so that day was today.
Worked up to 605 x 2. On the third one I was too far forward and it got away from me. Oh well. Then did 515 x 5. Gotta build this back up, fast. Going to pull from the floor, straight weight, every other week from here on out.
Rack pulls from one pin against quadded mini. 315 x 3, 405 x 3, 495 x 3. Really like these.
leg press 5 x 10-12
supersetted with
pulldowns 5 x 8-10
dumbell rows 3 x 10 w/125s
ghr, ab wheel, face pulls, in a circuit 4 sets of 10-15 each
prowler 8 x 90lbs x 40 yards.
At the end my 18 year old high school jock brother-in-law was gasping, I wasn’t.
Great Deads, Pete. I could only dream of moving that much weight.
And nice job schooling the youngster.

I will keep this in mind in the future.
forgot to mention: had an emergency trip to the dentist this morning, tooth snapped yesterday, right eye tooth. told it must be stress of compressing my jaw/grinding while lifting. It was a vertical break, about a 1/4 or a 1/3 of the tooth. Thank god for wife’s dental insurance. And a dentist who has us on a 0% interest payment plan. Bought mouth guards today and wore during deadlifting. Actually, that pretty well explains my shitting 605 x 2.nothing, in my books, ha ha ha…
