My family has pretty much stopped giving gifts for Christmas except for the kids and those adults who would be truly torqued if they didn’t get one (they know who they are).
Helps to avoid the “What is This Shit Show?” syndrome.
That made me laugh out loud. It really did.
Grinch. Next thing you’ll be hatin on St Pattie’s day. I’ve got a huge family but I love the holiday season. We share the work load a lot more than you all seem too, though. Great to have you back postin and liftin. Tried your recipe for V8. Put too much carrot juice in at first but after some tweaking and a lot of black pepper it finally got close.
Re: Baby classes. Close your eyes if they show any movies. Trust me on this.
Glad you survived the holidays,
Jack
I am the biggest Grinch ever. To beat me, you must try much harder. 
Great to see you back at it.
How is the JD program treating you? or have you moved on to something else… again?..just kidding
All the very best this year. I think you’re already blessed with a baby on the way.
Looking good here Kmac!
So how you like the programming so far?
My wife and I got a vacuum cleaner for Christmas. I agree that Christmas presents are for kids. How’s your wife feeling? Hope she missed the fun of morning sickness.
Thanks People…
I guess I can say you cant pick your family.
Harry- St. Patrick’s day when you don’t drink is like going to a strip bar sober.
Steve we are 7 weeks away so its more about not sleeping and being excited then morning sickness.
FF thank you, we are blessed in that regard and Yes I am still with the Defranco program
for this washed up meat head. I like banged up former super jock better.
Love the layout… the upper work is nice and different.
the lower work running after squats is just cruel.
today training 1.6.10
lower
mobility foam at home, a TON of mobility hips get tight in the cold,
truth be told my concave pecs where stiff from monday.

Notes
OH squats got me off to a decent start
Jumps are fun woo.
squats 315x10 getting somewhere, I guess this is a PR of sorts.
back raises feeling good.
running after squatting is cruel.
and left me near puking- not that squats didn’t
Other random shit I saw a T-Nation shirt on some trainer type at the gym wtf?
the two guys deadlifting in the rack when I got there ( pretty big guys)
came to shake my hand after the set of 315 that was kind of cool.
and I got some fist pumps from another big dude who I see there all the time.
that’t it.
other random shit- got a new Carhartt jacket this one is waterproof
and today I bought a car seat!!!
Good work on the squats and near puking. 315 x 10 rocks.
I bet your getting leaner.
Carhart jackets are cool.
good numbers on the sqaut.

Great lifting Kev. 315x10 is awesome. Wore my carhart today. Seven weeks…oh boy. I bet you two are getting excited.
I’m impressed. Way to recover from the holidays!
315x10 on squats for a PR and then out for a 7:38 mile? Damn, that’s some strong stuff.
Nice skwattin. I have a couple of Carharts, one is about 15 years old and keeps me warmer than anything else I own. Unfortunately looks like I will have to wear it while shoveling later.
Thanks people… Yeah I have had a few Carharrts, and a jump suit.
I actually destroyed the jumpsuit armor thing.
Lets not kid people… 315x10 at 8 it started to suck hard.
and although I got respectable depth- they got uglee.
the Run was on a treadmil, which makes it faster, and running in soccer sneakers kind of hurts
so now I would be lugging two pairs of footwear to the gym
soccer sneakers? are you pimping the Sambas?
Not sambas, some Nike soccer shoe
I would go old school and do Adidas shell toe- those might actually be better,
flat and the toe thing is good for some crap I do.
I should just get o-lifting shoes - but they cost cash money.

pushups- doing these after the rolling triceps sucked ass.

Posing Trunks???
What the hell is wrong with tightie whities? They have more coverage and look more manly.
Nice workout. 15 chins is about my max so I know how hard those puppies are.
Question on your hanging leg raises. I just tried these for the first time today. Do you keep your knees bent going up or do you try to get them straighter? I thought this would be a big core exercise but found that most of the work was in the scapula area. Just making sure I’m doing them right.
Thanks!
Oldman
No problem. Thought you might want to have sex again, sometime in the future.
