I need to get back to doing more ab work. Nice core work.
Nice core work, OG. I would do some myself, but, conveniently enough, I am morally opposed to it.
Oh yes, zerchers. Those should be fun

You are doing a better job than me coming back. Nice work OG. Hope I can get back to the level you are soon.

Coming back to the 5/3/1 darkside. Excellent. Laughed when I read your toenails ache. I know the feeling.
WooHoo! Preload is done and now the fun begins.
Soreness starting to wane any?
Edited to ask: You may have said this, but did you son pic a school?

Just mild all over soreness, although my tris are a bit tender.
as far as my son: no he has not, should happen this mid-summer or there abouts. He is however still leaning heavily towards Syracuse. I am trying to get him to expand his outlook and not rule out schools, but he is stubborn like a goat! That was very nice of you to ask.

“Stubborn like a goat”…I wonder where he gets that
You need to steer him towards Chapel Hill. Remind him that southern girls are more hospitable.
“Remind him that southern girls are more hospitable.” Sho nuff’. Spend some time upstate NY: Rome, Ny (Griffiss AFB), and they was pretty friendly there, too. Both schools got a heck of a Lacrosse tradition.
Time to hit the big weights again. Go for it.
Indeed they do Harry! the lacrosse is excellent at both schools.

You’re right, it’ll come back pretty quickly once you get into it.

I hate it when it sets in immediately. I think it is tied to the higher rep work.
Good job.
Lunges are for gymnasts and people with balance.
good job.

Went home, went outside with the puppies and banged out 3x75yards Zercher carries with the Slosh Pipe, beautiful morning here in New England…the pups followed me back and forth with a look on their faces like what is wrong with this man?
Time for a Goat Nap.
Peace
I still need to make my slosh pipe. Maybe this weekend. We’ve got some great sports going on tonight in NE. Bruins, Soxs and Celts are all on tonight. I love watching 3 channels at the same time. My wife doesn’t though, weird.
How tough is it zercher walking with the slosh pipe? Do you really feel the arms/abs/lats…
Nice work, OG. The core work will really payoff.
I just have no stomach for it…get it? core…stomach. Oh nevermind.
What qualifies as great weather? Here, it is about 60 in the morning and 80 in the afternoon. Pretty nice. Though, 75 would be better.
