Look Strong, Be Strong

Dude you look cold as hell. Great job lifting in a challenging environment.

That must be why the ladies love you.[/quote]

It was a little brisk. I actually don’t mind it but I do plan on putting some plywood down on the concrete floor. It will, however, get much colder here soon so that will be a challenge unless I get some heat in there.

I suppose I do look a bit like someone that should be reported to the authorities.

Thanks for the tip on Desperado…wasn’t aware of that flick…will watch.

Between Mainy and Kimba, Joe and now you, this is seriously turning out to be one of the best interactive mornings ever!

First of all, your back is immense. Me likey!

Secondly, nice OHPs! Nice form, and the last was a bit of a grind but looked great.

You can just tell people you use a Barbie CD player because you’re THAT alpha. Lol![/quote]

Hi! Thread instantly just got more sparkly.

Yeah, that’s me…all Alpha. Sometimes I like to put on my skinny jeans and my BFF shirt and go to the mall, just because.

Deads
135 x 3
185 x 3
225 x 3
275 x 3
315 x 3
365 x 3
385 x 1…felt quad twinge near lock out. Nothing serious. Crappy leg drive.
405 x 4…I would have liked more but I was done after 4
365 x 4

Wide grip pullups
10, 9…had to go. Daughter having a play date.

That looked good! That hitch at the end must have been your twinge.

Hips coming up a bit last couple reps. Slight twinge. That 5th rep was NOT moving, lol. If I believe the numbers on the plates from the previous owner (they are a bit heavy) then I suppose this is actually 410 x 4 for a PR (I’ll take 'em when I can)

Solid pulling!

Exactly. I don’t feel any after effects so it was just a thing.

the lion paces back and forth stalking its prey before the final kill…and then BAM… that ass :wink:

seriously your on my super yummy ass list. love watching you lift. glad you come around.

That 405/410 can’t be near your actual 1 rep max – those pulls looked too good, form-wise.

Oh, do I know the feeling of the weight not moving off the floor for that last rep.

Coming from you that is a big compliment.

Ha. Funny you should say that. I find it helps mentally if I think of the bar as prey.

And, I was just about to post “seriously your on my super yummy ass list. love watching you lift. glad you come around” in YOUR log. That is weird that we were thinking the same thing.

I like the look of the juggernaut gym. Cold, dank, dilapidated. I would think it puts you in the animalistic mode?

Dl’s look strong.

& you are doing yourself a huge disservice by not watching Desperado. In this thread & this thread only will I admit my man crush on Banderas. Not only was he great in this flick, but how can you not love him as Puss in Shrek.

Oh yeah, Salma’s pretty sexy too.

Thanks.

Just watched my vid. Fuck I’m a heavy breather, lol.

Yeah, Banderas is pretty…I mean good…a pretty good actor. With 2 kids under 10, I have seen a lot of Shrek. Still not tired of it.

^One line kills me every time. “I am Puss & dese r da bootz.” <<<----Said in my best Spanish/Redneck accent.

And this.

I think it bears repeating, I’m very glad you got your camera working. You’re um, quite sturdy sir. Nice DLs.

Well, you ladies are too kind. Thanks for the encouragement…and your serious easy-on-the-eyes factor, of course.

Bench Day…mostly trying to get my setup organized

  • pin height isn’t quite right (too high or too low) so I’ll adjust the bench height with some plywood…easy
  • fiddled around with bench position relative to bar hooks

135 x 3
155 x 3
185 x 3
205 x 3…I’ve done 5. These plates do feel heavier than the ones at the gym and my shoulders were a bit fried from two days ago. And my vagina has been itchy lately so that was distracting.

Incline BB…I can’t remember the last time I did these. Similar to BB, bench position needs some tweaking so that my liftoff isn’t too far back. Lower support on the rack is in the way.
135 x 8,8,8

Rear delt stuff…light weight, high reps.

And, most importantly I cobbled together some stereo gear that has been gathering dust and got it set up.

First song, played way too loud, Pearl Jam - Even Flow. Yes the air guitar was epic, lol.

such a good song…

"Oh, dark grin he can’t help when he’s happy, looks insane ooh

Even flow, thoughts arrive like butterflies
Oh, he don’t know so he chases them away-yeah"

and an itchy vagina will get ya no-where fast. I suggest pure cranberry juice :wink:

Getting brave with the vids, Git! Really nice pulling. Looking, umm, good.
