blah, still not where I need it:) Dixie, do you keep a log? Would like to check out.
Yes, do a raw meet. All my sports are hopelessly unassisted, tape on the fingers and chalk are about it. I simply don’t understand the geared stuff. As always, I’m totally flabbergasted by the weight you are moving. Keep it up.

Yes sir I do.
It began as me and my lifting partner back in undergrad, now it is really just me, the lifting partner got sidelined with a some chronic sickness and school. At first its kind of a hodge podge as I was still not really sure what I was doin, when I got down to MS and settled down (ie the past few weeks) the training got back on track.
and for the record, the pictures are mostly stupid. That was intentional, I promise lol. At my old gym there were many a lifters who were just too cool to lift and so spent more time posing and mean mugging. Me and TexanBadAss felt they needed a good mocking.
^round page 8 is where I got back on track…ish.
No excuse really, just played around with some other plans that didnt require spotters like what I had been doing did. Didnt enjoy them or do that well, so I am now back to the ole westside.
20 minutes elliptical
Just been reading your log and I’ve decided to get me one of those elliptical thingies.
It seems to be making you freakishly strong!!!
Good work in here, Pete, steady as a rock. I hope the season is treating you well.
Jack, life is treating me well. Have the same laundry list of worries, concerns, and issues with friends, family, etc. Mom is sick and stubborn. My wife’s family has some drama. But my wife, and kids, the most important things, are wonderful.
Saturday I had to get some work done on my SUV. My wife dropped me off to wait for it to be done. A couple minutes later she called me and asked if it was ok for her to drop the 4 year old off with me: he said he needed time with his Daddy. So he chose to hang out with me instead of going home to watch pixar and play with toys.
We had a blast. It was, for both of us, a little bit like the 9 months I was the stay at home dad and he was my 24/7 sidekick. He went everywhere with me, dirty gyms, supplement stores, grocery shopping,etc. Being back at work we both get some separation anxiety from time to time, 5 months later.
I have made my ‘leave’ time in the morning a little later. This is so I can make sure to get quality time with the 6 month old. He is changing so fast, so alert, and so happy. I feel truly blessed that things worked out for my wife to now stay at home with him.
My older boy turns 21 today. Makes me sound old. He actually calls and comes over a lot now. He is as stupid as a 21 year old is supposed to be, chasing girls, having a little life drama here and there. Proud of him.
And my wife is rocking. She is training probably more often than I am. She is in awesome shape, and not just for someone who just had a baby. Looks smoking, turns 40 on Xmas eve. She inspires me a lot right now.

Reading that made me happy. Love it when my kids choose to hang with their Dad just because. And seeing kids grow and learn is a joy. As are hot wives, of course.

Reading that made me jealous and angry.
just sayin
Glad life is good for you, Pete. That was a fun read.
thanks all
another snow storm, checked the traffic map and my eta to the bb club was over 2 hours. so I headed to the commercial gym, still took 1.25 hours. got to squat to horrible pop, walk outs, and a whippy chrome bar.
45 x 10, 135 x 10, 225 x 6, 315 x 6, 405 x 6, 455 x 4, 515 x 4, 545 x 4, 405 x 12
ab wheel 5 x 15
hyperextension 5 x 15
home to snow removal 1 hour.
30 minutes elliptical, 30 minutes shoveling.
pete, i have found that Crowbar and Shrinebuilder really loud on my ipod can drown out the sound of icky pop. too bad it cant cleanse my eyes of half squats and curling in the squat rack
Icky pop make Hulk Mad! Must Smash Squat!
See, sometimes icky pop can be useful while squatting.
Jack,
Once a year or so ago I was about to do a PR set of squats at the commerical gym. Right as I got under the bar Timberlake came on. I yelled as loud as I could “I’m bringing sexy back” as I walked the weight out. got some odd looks for sure:)
