Nadia- it’s called not having kids! remember those days?? ahhhh
lol
MIM- i’ll be topless, wearing my boycut panties. see u in 5 min.
inky- wendler is so much of a man, its in the atmosphere of wherever he is. so much so, that i feel myself with a 5 o’clock shadow about 15 min after i say hello to W. or maybe thats the lambs blood i’m anointed with by the midget prostitute when i walk through the door…
nads- the literal answer is this;
I knew i wanted to do better this quarter than i did last. not question my sanity, get school work done, see jason, go to the gym, etc… so i told work I’d be able to be there tuesday mornings and all day fridays. for whatever reason, they went for it, and i work half days on the occasional weekend to make things “fair.” halfdays so i can still lift at EFS. Pegg still lives an hour away and even though he drives all over earth and back to see me, he cant be here every night and i cant drive down there.
i take every single sleep opportunity i can get. i’m convinced im making up for lost time in my early 20’s.
and, what MIM said. no kids. put that as another reason on my list… 
oh and, GOOD MORNING EVERYBODY!
good mornin!
Damn. I try to make that happen wherever I go, but it fails every time.
I need a Wendler/Pegg beard I think.
In chronological order:
Saturday Squat at EFS
Doin doubles, went for 255x2. Thought I got it, took video just to check. SKY HIGH. Would’ve been a 10lb gym pr for reps. so i waited awhile, tried it again for a single, and had steve call my depth. felt like i needed to come up, so i didnt wait for the call. Looking at the video, its still high, and i can see that i was falling forward, because my elbows flew back.
after that, pulled some 225 singles, which felt way heavier than they shouldve, after (or maybe because of) pulling so many heavy singles last week with so little rest. did 1 set of 10 hypers and called it a day.
next, Jason broke up with me. We’re still on good terms, and that’s all I’ll have to say about that.
Except, maybe now I’ll learn to keep my dating life out of my log.
No condolences necessary, it sucks, but I’ll live. Just thought I should keep all my bitches in the loop.
goddamnit i posted a link to my video HOURS ago.
what the fuck, T-Nation? give it a rest already!
Your squatting stance is a lot like mine. How tall are you? I always thought that I went so wide just b/c I’m short. Anyway, nice attempts. Doesn’t it suck when you feel like you’re nice and deep and you find out that you’re not? BTW I love dropping by your log for the accounts of your bad-ass training. It is slowly acclimating me to the idea that I too could go train w/the big boys. You see, I was invited to start training at a little, private PL/Strongman gym that is literally walking distance from where I live. Problem is, I am WAY too intimidated. Thanks for the inspiration. Maybe someday soon I’ll grow some…

Well, shit. 
Awesome squatting in the vid! Are you still going to lift at EFS?
fuck. come here and I’ll feed you, wine you and give you a nice back rub.
That 2nd attempt on the 255 didn’t seem THAT high. Maybe a side angle on the vid next time?
@veggie - Bear’s a smidge under 5’8 so not short at all. I’m 5’7 and also have a wide squat. I think it’s less about height than general build and comparative lever length. A lot of the power guys also take a wide stance because a) it’s a powerful position and b) you don’t have to lift the bar as far.
@Bear - Good squatting, even if they were a bit high. I’m not sure I could even walk that weight out. You’ll get the depth next time, I’m certain.
Re: the other news, that blows donkey balls. Still, I am sure a queue is forming already. Be sure to post the highlights of any offers that come via PM.
Peggs gay?! I fucking knew it! Oh wait sorry. You ended on good terms. My bad. Seriously though, every time a boy broke up with me my mother ALWAYS questioned his sexuality and seriously too. I’m that awesome. And so are you. Live on. Live well.
Well, y’know, a lot of these power and strength guys have the bear look - big and strong but not all that lean, hairy, shaved head, beard… One of my friends is into bears and he practically jerks off over World’s Strongest Man when they show it on the telly.
I respect the squatting, but my main impression of the vid was that you have a beautiful smile.
sucks about the dude situation. Moving on…might I suggest a bubble bath with your bitches, followed by that pillow fight?

Nice squats. Just when I thought there was a chance I’d catch you, you PR again.
Sucks things didn’t work out
Pillow fight!!!
Saw the squats on youtube before you posted, so there! 
Keep on keepin on, Bear…you have a lot goin for you. Still sucks though…
Just popping in to give you a hug and a slap on the ass.
This too shall pass.
Somebody REALLY awesome told me once, “Everything will be ok in the end. So if it’s not ok, it’s not the end.”
I have awesome bitchez. Ya’ll had me at “bacon.”
but i’ll glady roll with the rest if it’s already been put out there… esp the bubble bath and pillow fight!!
some notes:
-I didnt train yesterday. had a hard time falling asleep, and by the time i crashed at 0530 on sun am, i knew i wasnt gonna be lifting at efs. high hopes to lift at the local yesterday afternoon were dashed when i got all pukey and it didnt go away. (when all you have in your stomach is water and you puke that up through your nose, it tickles. a lot.)
-
the apartment is not trashed. kitchen could use some work, and regular chores are on the schedule, but i didn’t run around breaking things. this is good.
-
I’m so hungry. but, i woke up with some nice ab definition, shouldve taken pics. i plan on leftover chinese food for breakfast.
-
i’ll be in the gym today to lift SOMETHING, just not sure what or how heavy yet. my routine has been fucked up enough, gotta get back on the ball.
-
i’m so behind on my work. i was gonna start a couple papers and study my spanish this weekend, now 3 of 5 things are due on wed. SONOFABITCH.

I’ve often thought about this quote since you first posted it many moons ago. Honestly, its the most helpful and uplifting mantra I’ve ever come across.
