It is in the last video. As he is walking back to the camera you can hear him grumbling and I clearing heard “grumblegrumblefuckgrumble…” ROFL 
I asked him and he was like “yeah, I was pretty unhappy…” lol
Joe, Happy New Year! I hope its a good one for you. I’ll look forward to seeing you hit all your 2011 goals…
spotter in bench video had his hands in your face? How distracting…
On a brighter note - Happy New Year Joe! 
Thanks for the good wishes everyone.
New Years was full of football and food, best recovery day ever. Inspired by the ladies I’m going to bust out the chin up bar later and see what I can do. Might throw in some famers walks too,
So a slight flare up on tendonitis put the kibosh on chins. I was going to do famers walks but the weekend rains turned the yard into a swamp.
So I went for a run, didn’t time it and only went about 5k but it was a fun change of pace.

A belated Happy New Year.
Watch the elbow tendonitis. It put me out of commission for almost a year. Chins were the culprit.

Running is surprisingly fun. And its the most intense conditioning I’ve ever done. Glad you are keeping me company on this one. I doubt we’ll be weaker because of it!
That’s some nice looking benching. You didn’t need a spotter at all. It looked to me like there was no strain at all. Squats are getting better. 255 seemed fine but 275 was high.
I hope you’re having a great holiday.

This girl is a nutcase.
Actually, I’m thinking of throwing a running session in once a week. Just to jump on the bandwagon and all.

As long as i keep it under control I agree. I have a tendency to try and do everything a lot which means I make little progress at everything.

I think I might need to increase my bench attempts just a little. I really believe that my squats are about to take off after beening my weak point for a very long time.

Once a week is about all I’ll be running.
Its going to be part of the weekend conditioning from hell.

Clip came off while loading plates for the money set of dips and pinched the crap out of my finger. As such my money set was all fubar. Got all butthurt and tried 160, epic fail. I think I could have done the 160 dip if the set up wasn’t so damn exhausting because the chain is shorter than I need.
4x125
1x160 Comedy gold.
Maybe you should stay “loaded up” and just sit down between sets because putting all those plates on and off looks tiring and has got to be wasting energy.
Great dipping as always.
maybe you should get one of the female co-eds to hold the weights ans assist you during dips
To be an epic fail there would have had to be falling over. That was just a regular fail.
A longer chain, or maybe tight shorts?

I can believe that they will. It’s unusual to see squats and bench on par. I think it’s likely experience and technique slowing you down on squat. Most guys have always benched so there’s a level of comfort and confidence with it.
sucks about the tendinitis! Hope it calms down…
joe-
You could always try hooking through one of the outer holes on the plates you use. They will hang lower, but it will give you the chain you need.
Joe,
You’re gym seems pretty flush with nice equipment, maybe lobby for a couple of hundo plates for your dips and deads. Anyway great work just wrestling that many plates onto the dip belt.
