“…feels good to handle the heavier weight.” That attitude works.
Ksnap could be an oracle here.
new bar FTW
Its like being a kid and getting new stuff.
looking solid- those are big RDL’s
Thanks bagofbro, it does feel fresh and inspiring to have the new bar. Plus my new black bar is a bit bigger in circumference than my old bar which makes for some getting used to and hopefully a stronger grip.
Not much time between jobs today so I worked fast and hard to lift.

I think that new bar must have built a fire under your ass! 
Merry Christmas OG. Maybe the new year will bring you less walking.
ChickenLittle, it may be the bar or a deep gut need for iron mania. And I’m beginning my training progression towards my next planned meet in April- the Raw United Master’s Championships.
Biker, I think my walking will pick up again soon but I’m working on ways to battle the fatigue.

Thanks OG and a Merry Christmas to you.
Merry Christmas GV!
Merry Christmas to you and your family GV. Your girls are at a great age for Christmas to be really special.
Thank you Dave and ChickenLittle. A Merry Christmas to you both and all.
Just an aside. I have been physically wrecked today from yesterday’s lifting and other activity. Hopefully, with a bunch of therapy, tumeric, and rest I’ll be mobile on Christmas.
Moved quickly today in between jobs so lifting was fast and concentrated.

^^^^ 50 minutes??? ^^^^
Damn fine training.
Glad to read you’re resuming the heavy, heavy partial squats.
Thanks hawkcapt, yes I get moving fast sometimes. Thanks biker, that heavy iron is how I pray.
