No problem Jean, I know you would do that same for me :)…you owe me nothing, just friendship and to let me watch your PR’s!
Oh yeah also: I see that guy watching all the time…yes step away from the bar sir, you dont know who your messin with I could deadlift you twice over almost…LOL
Went in to the workout today: Week 8 Day 2: 3x3 215 Deadlift…not pretty but done. Overhead Press PR of 80 3x3 highlights of the day. I also did a 1 rep PR of 95 for OHP…I could not get the 2nd rep but getting there!
Plan to update my last few workouts soon
I forogt on Monday I got two reps at 115 Bench and another single at 115… wanted 3 but hey its still a PR
More to come…
my Body weight was 138 this am so…basicly body weight
Just watched your squats w/150 and 170. Good work but if I may suggest a couple training tips that may help you have more power immediately. For one your stance is very narrow. This can be good however widening your stance just a little could help significantly. Having each foot a couple inches outside of your shoulder width (or even an inch) should help. Another tip will be to have a slight out turn for your feet. In other words turn your feet just slightly out at an angle. This gives most lifters (including me) better stability and a more solid position for the hips. The last tip is most or equally important: In all squatting push the knees out especially during ascending. I hope these tips help and you don’t find my suggestions obtrusive.
No Not at all I appreciate any suggestions…Yes I do have a very narrow stance and need to work on that I do know that… I think in time I will be abole to do well. This is my first serious attempt at heavier lifting and in 8 weeks I have made amazing progress…I love T Nation and appreciate thoughts that help
My 135 Squats video was better…but of course getting more stable at that weight…
Looking strong!!
Great pics of you ladies, love the shirts. Has to be so awesome to have female friends to lift with!!
Yeah it is really cool! Thank you ![]()
This is a few weeks back just doin what I do best “not staying on target for a minute”… Tried a 175 squat for 1 rep and just a few reps of Chin ups

Up,
There is meaning behind the shirts. Each one had a “Rick-ism” on it: Hips, More Hips; Stay Tight!; and Stay on Target.
We made some for the guys, too (perhaps I can put up the group shot I got later). We did it as a surprise to celebrate Rick’s return to the gym on Friday. ![]()
I dig the outfits. Kick-ass socks FTW.

Rick had his shirt turned around, but it says “Rangers lead the way!” on the front. ![]()
