Going Bananas

you are totally going to crush it. have you picked your openeers? sorry if someone already asked…

MJ, I am not 100% decided on openers, but somewhere in the 650 range for both.

after several hours installing flooring, took 4 year old and my American Bulldog for a 3 mile hike through woods. Weather is beautiful, definitely glad to get some ‘cardio’ out in it.

You are primed for a great meet Pete! Good Luck Brother!

Pulling’

went into it feeling like shit, and unmotivated, and it stayed that way. Was up late with personal drama and stress, and then a long stressful work day. Downed a Monster drink and still felt like I could take a nap.

also buying a ton of equipment, bars, plates, rack, benches, etc. for a song, PeteS Barbell is on the horizon

dz well my ssb box squat vid didn’t turn out, but here is some vids from the rest of the team that night. I am in there somewhere in the background, noticeable only by my gray beard and jacked calves, lol

looks like you really are prepared! hitting PRs two weeks out with a 700 1 board press

George, yeah, I feel like I am sitting in a pretty good place to do what I want at this meet.

Jack,
AF rocked. First part of the show they played all of Victim in Pain, to celebrate 25 years since it came out. That took all of ten minutes so they played more stuff. They are good friends and I had a great time hanging out and shooting the shit with them.

The funniest thing to me was when they started talking about how scary I look. This is coming from Agnostic Front. I remember being effen terrified of them as a a kid. I thought they were the toughest guys on the planet (which I still kinda think).

2.5 mile walk for my conditioning today. That and trying to make headway on a lengthy honey do/home project list. Exhausted, time for shower, ribs, football.

skwat night aka deadlift assistance for me

got a new pair of Metal underoos from Elite, thought I would give them a whirl

raw warm ups to box 145 x 3, 235 x 3, 325 x 3

briefs not on. not going past the quads. Metal sizing is different. shut down the gear work cuz need to exchange them

raw ssb box to low box, close stand 265 x 5, 355 x 3, 445 x 3, 395 x 3, 515 x 5, PR I believe

leg press 6 x 15

hanging abs 5 x 15

ghr 5 x 15

kind of glad in a way that the the new briefs were a no go, I had some high numbers in my head but I don’t want to push the CNS, openers for dl and bench later this week then deload

walked a couple of miles after work, then started cleaning out the garage to get ready for Silver Back Barbell.
