some great pulling man
Near 500 dead is pretty strong. Good work.
Sorry for the double posting above. I got the timeout message and I didn’t think either of them posted.

For the deload I wanted to try CT’s routine from last week’s videos. I don’t remember all of the sets.
OHP x 3 “Rocket Launch” reps
bar
95
…Not sure how many sets in between, adding 5-10 lbs each
155
In between these I did facepulls for 8-10
Incline Bench (haven’t done these since college)
135
…Not sure how many sets in between, adding 5-10 lbs each
175
between these I did lat pull down for 8-10
Bench

Honestly, this was really boring, but I am feeling some muscle response right now that I usually don’t feel, so I might stick to it for deload or work it in as assistance some times.

Shoulder raises, all angles w/ 15’s

I’ve been having a lot of trouble posting as well. I either get double posts or no post at all. Great way to get your cardio. I miss playing basketball.

Hey man, what is the Border Battle? I looked on PLWatch and it isn’t listed in VA–is it somewhere else?
I could be convinced to do that one maybe. Was thinking about doing APF nationals down in Florida first week of APril, but I would have to qualify for it beforehand, so if I don’t go to a qualifying meet, I won’t go.
Hey, do you have FB? Send me a PM with your facebook info if so and I will friend you. T-Nation has found it fit to disable my PMs.
The Border Battle is in Charlotte and it’s USAPL, so I don’t know if you can qualify for APF in a USAPL meet.
I don’t have FB, but my wife does. You can email me at hyd003(at)gmail(dot)com.
What did you do to piss off the moderators?

I think I told this tough guy shit talker I was going to poke out his eyes and skull fuck him or something like that…I guess the mods thought I was serious
Oh well
Cool man, I’ll email you and we’ll set something up…if I go, I could drive down to C-Ville (or wherever you live) and we could carpool
Are you sure its not in Fort Mill, SC?
Hope you have a great holiday man…I look forward to pigging out a little
I’m now a Redskins fan 
We’ve split with the other two teams in the division, might as well split with the G-Men, too.

Nice pressing the other day. Good job on deads, I recently hit 405x4 was super stoked!
that’s some good pulling. My schedule is a little different this week, but it seems OK. I did weigh in at 203.4 yesterday, so the Christmas cookies are piling up.

I left some in the tank to go for some heavy singles. 315 ties a gym PR for a paused rep, so I was pretty pleased with that since I haven’t done anything heavy in a while. I’ll probably do it again next week.

Lots of work in there, 60 pullups ain’t too easy. Oh and congrats on the bench PR. I’m pumped man, Saturday night Jets/Colts!!
