Yuuummm did you hydrate with the horsey stuff, that ought to get things loosened up from the inside out :wink:

Ha, you’re funny.

I’m saving the horse liniment for the joints.

Shoulders felt a lot better with the dips with the horse liniment applied.

Joints, drink, and horsey stuff, sounds like one crazy party you guys have on the ice.

Well… we ARE hockey players :wink:

Scrimmage - 1.5 hours

Fun skate, set up a couple of goals.

Just skimmed through your log for the first time, saw you on @twojarslave’s log, which I follow and decided to take a look to see just how old you are.

Interestingly enough, you are thirteen months older than I am, to the day, we are both doing 5/3/1, and are lifting comparable weights.

Thought I would let you know I am following.

Hey thanks for stopping in. I’ve found 531 fits in well with my schedule of my life.

I was at a hockey scrimmage yesterday when a couple of guys in their earlier forties started complaining about being old, lol

Doesn’t it kill you when young people say they are old? LOL.

Hockey started for my son last night. I was so happy to be back in the stands. It’s his final year:(

The Myth: come log here.

You mean in the “Over 35 Lifter” forum? Yeah, been thinking about that, think I should. I just want to figure out if I can move the whole log, or just insert a link, or what.

Appreciate the invite - I’m used to getting evicted, lol.

Scrimmage - 1 hour

No goals, did some good things, had fun.

I had a breakaway where I caught the defense flat footed, but shot wide of the net.

Refereeing - 1 hour
League Game - 1 hour
Subbing in a league game - 1 hour

Refereed a novice game. played my league game, lost 1-2, then played in an upper level game because the team had only 4 players and the goalie. Two other guys from my team played.

It was like playing at my league level, only harder.

Lost 1-5.

Iced my knees for twenty minutes afterwards.

Wow! Sounds like you were really 2busy today. Hope you hydrated adequately. :wink:

I was at the ice rink from 9 am to 6 PM.

Watched a 18U AAA game. Two of the players used to billet with me when I had the house.
Scorekeeper for the first league game.
Then the refereeing and playing.
Hung out to watch the last league games.

I had only one adult beverage between playing the two games.
The upper level team obviously needs me to play for them because they didn’t have any hydration available for post game. I ended up going with water and coffee.

How can you consider yourself a Beer League Hockey team if you don’t have any beer?

Ewwwwww… water and coffee? You need to rectify that immediately! I have never played hockey, but did live up north for a while. I thought drinking was mandatory for living up there.
