HAhahahahaha, I’ll remain neutral right now, but I WILL say I couldn’t PR in front of a leaf. Sorry!

Thanks MiMsie, the only easy part is typing it in here, haha

Now, for todays wake-up song. Might be something I do on days I remember AND come across (or remember about) great metal songs.

While I usually try my hardest not to compliment you on anything, that’s actually a pretty clever set up.

Now I feel weird.

LOL Patch. Thanks, I think. I’ve gotten creative with the band use to try and hit exercises I don’t think are really possible without an actual “gym”. I’m usually surprised by the results.

Just saw this vid, and it’s got me excited to bench again (tomorrow is a ton o’ benching again-and squats)

Just…wow.

I figured out a new technique that will take your bench to new heights brah

Awesome front squat Ink! Form looked great! Looked easy, too.

And i gotta say, looking solid! Putting on some muscle, huh?

WTF!!

DF, the gif won’t play on my phone, but I’m sure its epic. Will verify in the morning…

Masch, thanks! If the front squat looks good to you, it can’t me too bad, right? Lol and thanks on the solidness compliment. I’m not gaining pounds, but the gut is reducing its massive diameter which can only mean “winning”

Todays session started alright, then got really rough, but ended with my 2 year old coming down from her room after a nap, and cheering me on. I told her I had 5 more squats, and she would say “5 more squats, Daddy?”

Lockout…Work It!

Solid work.

How do you like squatting every session? I’m a huge fan and might give what you’re doing a shot in a few months. How long do your sessions take?

Young kids are great aren’t they. My son does that same thing when I drag the sled and it’s always “faster daddy faster”. They are the perfect motivational coach. Did you see that “Dad Strong” article over at EFS?

Hey James, with Sheiko, it’s not squatting EVERY session, it’s squatting mon/fri with deads on wed (Or however the week is laid out). Benching every session though, I really like. I like the frequency of reinforcing my technique, I think it’s helped my bench move a decent amount.

Most sessions take around 90 minutes. The longest ones have been about 2 hours, and only once did it take 3 hours, but that was when I hit a real PL gym and trained with a friend of mine, throwing in a lot of extra shit.

Yeah, I saw that on EFS, and actually posted it to FB. More squats daddy? Haha, loved it. Kids are great…most of the time :wink:

Awe, I looked up the Dad strength article. So cute.

Hey Joyce! (does anyone even call you that anymore?)

Just dropping by to make sure you’re still training and not just getting fat :slight_smile: I’m sure you’ll be happy to hear I’ve moved back to some more PL-type training as I get into shape for this wedding (August 25 just so ya know). It’s amazing how quickly my body got back into its groove… squats for days!

Your puppies are gorgeous, as are your girls. Hope you enjoyed Christmas with them! I’ll try to drop by more often to follow as you head towards your 1 year meet. 500lb deadlift… jeebus!

Glad you liked it Patch

Court, hey there! Yes, of course I’m still training. I love this shit, haha. That’s great to hear, that you’re getting back to more PL type training. When are you going to do another meet? And thanks, the whole family is pretty awesome, thank you. 500#DL…then 6, 7, 800+ Why not, right?

So, didn’t get in my deadlift/bench session last night, too much “life” got in the way of that, but I’ll try and make it up tonight.

I hear rest is the key to Sheiko.

I just put that same sexy beast quote in my log. Did we perchance have the same dinner? Or you know, are both addicted to pinterest.
