So I was a little concerned for a bit that I wasn’t going to end up going to Ottawa this weekend…mainly because I’m disorganized and hadn’t figured out a ride
Anyways, I now have that set up and am heading up Friday afternoon. Sure to be a 5 hour jeep ride filled with lots of laughter and inappropriate remarks.
How come it took 6 hours when I drove?[/quote]
I have a few guesses:
The weather was shite because it was December. Didn’t the drive home take like 7?
Your alignment was off on the van so we really drove about an extra 100km trying to keep the car on the road straight…there’s your hour.
Your foot isn’t as heavy as my Friday travel buddy’s.
Did it take 6 hours from your house or mine? It should only take 5 from mine…
Military Press Day - 80lb max (estimated, haven’t done this in forever) so 72lb for 5/3/1
MP
45x5
50x5 (65%)
60x5 (75%)
70x5 (85%)
I got the bare minimum with military press. I haven’t done overhead pressing in ages so I’m hoping I see some gains in this as I get more used to it. Also, it’s tough when your max is so low because you’re so close to that max. Depending on how the next 2 weeks go, I may not change the max.
Chin ups (Assissted)

In good news (for ddot), I didn’t kick him in the balls. I was even nice enough to spot him on his max rep set of bench. I’m kind like that.

Good job on the MPs. I haven’t done them in a while either and mine suck even worse than bench. I think I may have done a single once at 80. Bleh.

It may not make much difference but it appears that you calculated your work sets from your estimated max and not your training max. I believe your work sets should have gone:
72 * .65 = 46.5 round up to 50
72 * .75 = 54 round up to 55
72 * .85 = 61.2 round up to 65
Forgive me if I’ve misinterpreted, I really don’t want a virtual kick in the balls…

Nothing virtual about it, she’ll drive down there and kick you for real… or she’ll transfer the kick to another kicker closer to you, such as PMPM (they have a trade system in place).

You would be right… hahaha.
I have the excel sheet on my computer, but didn’t write it down before I shut down at work. I knew what the percentages were supposed to be so quickly calculated them in my head. Didn’t factor in the 90%… live and learn. Next week should be much easier then

Slightly disappointed that there’s no reference to the emasculation of Taylor.

Poor boy shouldn’t try to keep up with me. I actually forget exactly what I said to the kid, however my favorite part was after I emasculated him I followed up with “Oh, I’m Courtney by the way”. He reminds me of my little brother all tall and lanky… plus I think they’re the same age. I’m sure he was trying to be all cool in front of me, but I eat little boys like that for breakfast and spit them out, heartbroken before 10

Ddot, can you fill us in? This sounds like a fun story.
I’m not entirely sure of how it all went down. I just recall the sound of his testicles shrinking rapidly. Makes sort of a swish sound.
Courtney had said a few things to Taylor, your nameless boyfriend and myself. She had mentioned something about liking boys in her diatribe. At an unfortunate time, Taylor has responded ‘Me too’ to which Court said something like “it’s okay that you like boys too”. They then introduced themselves to each other, at which point I said ‘Isn’t Taylor a girl’s name?’. He responded ‘It’s Unisex’. He wasn’t convincing.
After Court left, the young boy made mention of how feisty she was. Your nameless boyfriend indicated she was too much for this young boy to handle.

All in all a good scene for me to make my exit.[/quote]
I think he said something that wasn’t all the masculine so I made the comment that it was okay that we both liked boys. After his balls shrivelled up and went back up inside into hiding, I laughed, introduced myself and went back to working out. He still had a look of awe on his face that I had said what I did.
What the poor boy doesn’t know is that that was a rather tame comment from me.
