The wonders of external motivation! I usually wager $$ on that type challenge, say, $5 for every rep BEYOND.

Forgive me, I’m new here, but I laughed out loud at the first post in the log… weeping over the rabbit food in your grocery shopping cart.

Be strong, pal. There is a price to be paid for hotness.

292

30 minutes elliptical

293

As always, your training is looking awesome. Sweet deadlifting.

294

Thanks Eco, but frankly I am insanely pissed off by last nights effort. I know I have the ability to pull 705, it’s just every single time I grip it stupid little doubts come into my mind. It is really getting frustrating. I keep getting stuck at my knees, which a) is not a true weak point for me and b) this is where the stupid evil little weak guys voice starts reminding me that I have 705 pounds in my hand.

I am going to try and grow a pair and push through some even more intensive DL training. If it don’t kill me, it will make me stronger:)

295

I’ve ruminated many times on the psychological aspects of the DL. It’s by far the most mental lift for me.

I hear you on the growin a pair, though for me its bench. Ive hurt a shoulder before, and always have a nagging voice saying that I will do it again if I keep workin at it.

Anywho, this gif may bring down the wrath of the over 35 forum on me, so be it.

Speaking of growing a pair, I was driving behind a pickup truck with a pair hanging down the other day. My daughter was in the car with me and just couldn’t quit giggling. Neither could I. But seriously. Why affix scrotum to the back of your pickup truck?

to elicit a reaction, giggling was one such response
