Yeah your son could be the next Mitch Gaylord!
God I love that name, I really should grow up.
He even has a move named after him on the bars or something. So you can literally say “and now the gymnast is about to enter a couple of Gaylords”.
FB, that was darn funny. Can you tell I’m mature for my age?
MightyMouse, I hate the shoes, it’s interfering with the aura -black Irish bastid dressed in all black. 
Best wishes for your brother.
Thank you for all the e-love people.
Brother is home, I saw him Friday morning- he was still drugged up.
He got home Saturday evening- and is recouping.
He did fracture his skull but ct scan and MRI both say its ok.
how did this happen- homeboy is like 6.4 and lanky- and seems by all counts to have slipped.
Dday- thanks for the kind wishes.
O_b_s My shoulders are at different heights- and when the weights get too high Im sure form falls apart
as it is anything over 245 looked like ass in the video
Frenchie I swear you are looking at my donk -
Al thank you. I love my striped crazy socks
maschy- thank you for the cookie - and the props.
rows are moving up - and OHS are my favorite thing- they seem to fix my shit.
It is some columbo shit- I cleaned up the apartment- it was all like law and order forensics
for the record my wife is sicilian- she would hit me
little man will do a sport if he likes I just want him to have success.
Matty
thanks man- glad your ass coffee has cleared up.
Lexie- I can call you lexie right-
gymastics- he would like it but he loves anything physical- swimming running kicking a ball.
Its too early to push him into any activities like that.
gymnastics - there are non around us.
I am digging the shoes- the stability is good- this was as close to black on black as I could get.
Peaches- hmmm I guess I should tell you I don’t coach or teach- although have opportunity for both.
because I cant roll, wrestle etc
there are two Judo schools withen walking distance of where we moved too-
one is on our fucking block.
so its not fun for me to ‘watch’ either
If I wasnt already having the same time crunch as anyone else I would coach HS wrestling-
but its an ungodly amount of time.
FB - this is what you get for posting a man in a brit flag thong in another mans log.
my sons name is Rowan- and he is kind of a mini warrior.
I’ll let him handle you.
PG- thanks man- no worries the shoes are mostly black.
Just like Big peteS I am in black all day.
thanks for all the positive thoughts on training on little man
and most of all my brother.
training this week is going to be strange-
working 8 to 8 and changing gyms…
Hey man lets get a session going together within the next 2 weeks if you could.
I can call you lexie right
sure.
just thought of gymnastics because i think it is a good base for most everything else. the way that ballet is a good base for most other styles of dance. because of the technical precision / bodily control aspect.
but probably i’m really thinking ‘when i have a kid they are going to start out with gymnastics then do bjj and olympic lifting…’ i think i might have a tendancy to be that dad lolz.
i agree that kids should get to do what kids want to do. but also think that what it is that they want to do can be shaped by exposure…
just take care of the little man. all that other shite will fall into place in its time.
I take a fair bit of shite from my buddies because Erik swims instead of doing “a real sport”. But, the kid’s 13 and can swim 2 miles, and I never could do that, so I think its pretty cool.
Lexie- thanks
there is a fine line between exposure and pushing kids into stuff you like.
MJ that is pretty cool.
Rowan is a happy happy kid. he likes to sleep , he likes to eat
and he loves being physcial.
its a good combo for a boy
sorry for not keeping up on all you people
been busy with a new show for these past few days.
trained tonight at the new commercial gym
the bad
no cage
8 million yellow machines I have never used
octogon plates
a high goon factor
plenty of GTL
the good
I spied a set of 45lb bumpers.
decent bars.
2 racks to squat in
god hours 4am to 12am
training big rush no time.
hanging leg raise vs face pull
3x10
bb complex
BO row RDL ,High Pull Clean
95,135,155,175 all 3x3
A front squat
135x8,185x5,225x5,245 3x3,265,3x2,275 2x2 then 245 6x3
B Bulgarian splits
db pairs 50 4x6 each
C Dimel deadlift
135 2x20
Notes.
not much happening here,
had a decent speed happening so I kept it going.
275 dbl’s felt really good.
dont know how I got to 6x3 think I was going for 8x3.
so some volume - but not that much
Bulgarian splits still have no stability on the right leg
needs work.
Dimel- blew out the hams- donk was all swole.
will try to catch up with you people.
I think I need to post pics of the new gym its a little crazy.
Great OH squats and awesome front squats…
Oh come on, you know all of you NYC guys are all about the GTL.
doubling 275 on FS is no joke.
Are the yellow machine hammer strength? That’s one thing about lifting at home, can’t afford the cool machines like that.
You’ll make it work.
good shit in here as usual. you’re brother is 6’ 4"? how is that possible? I didn’t think anyone that was born in NYC could get above 5’8".
shoes are sweet, of course I have a soft spot for all things Adidas.
Wheres the new gym? a commercial one?
OG thanks when I get some stability taken care of…
Ill get those numbers bigger
Joe- thanks! I have doubled 195 before - want to get to doing 275 for good triples.
have you not seen how pale I am?
I will admit to some grooming but tanning is out
DDay some of the machines are hammer-
there is a shrug machine a few of the normal seated bench type things
the yellow machines turned out to be life fitness no clue what any of them are
seems to be a million to one ratio of seated upper body movements vs leg machines
while not a hammer strength fan I do know they do the trick for joints and high rep stuffs
Pete thanks Big man.
I am the runt
Dad is 6.3 or was when younger
older brother is 6.2
younger brother is almost 6.4
one sister is 5.11
just me , my other sister and my mom are under 5.7
they are both 5.2
Im about 5.5 maybe 5.6
Matty -
just saw you in there
its in New Rochelle where we are still renting.
while not a chain its a big nasty commercial gym
its 19.99 a month and has decent hours so I cant complain
yesterday was the bench and curl marathon but some big people in there too
LOL I think that was my brother
Was your mailman 5’6’’ ??
Glad the new gym will meet most of your needs.
Lol Matty I meant I didn’t see you comment in here
And steve not eating thru hs and college did it to me.
One price to pay for trying to keep competing as a prepubescent teen
No training today
Long day and little mans has a cold so no sleep.
New gym will force me to take advantage of the better location.
Is it they to use th hammer strength machines
There are like 590,456 of them for chest
That’s weird, having your whole family taller than you. I grew up with my kid sister taller (she’s 6 2), and she enjoyed looking down on people. In college they put her on the varsity basketball team even though she had no experience.
This is what I found for the Samson stretch, is this what you meant? I didn’t feel anything.
