Look Strong, Be Strong

Training Over 35 Lifter
801

Nice Benching, I love Pearl Jam but I’ve always wanted to punch Eddie Vedder in the neck.

802

Now Joe this is the season of peace and tolerance. No neck punches allowed until the new year.

Squats

  • 4th or 5th day of training in a row but I have a load of in-laws coming and I’m not sure what that means for my lifting schedule
  • I particularly like the way pushing against the belt gives me a big, fat belly and tucking my chin makes it go double. Or maybe I’m just getting fat. Meh, it’s winter.
  • you’ll notice the floor has a slope so I put my heels on plywood. It’s a distraction but I’ll eventually have a plywood (maybe with rubber) platform.
803

And I had this idea of trying for 275 x 20. But my wrist got very uncomfortable and I had to quit. I thought about restarting but said fuck it. Wrist wraps will be ordered.

804

And finally some front squats
135 x 3
185 x 3
225 x 2
225 x 2

And since I don’t have a Santa hat…a message. Keep in mind it’s tongue in cheek (kinda). My apologies for not mentioning everybody.

Your vids are set to private. You have to change the settings for us to access them.

Thanks. 405 by the end of 2011.
And you’ve inspired me to add in more lateral raises, lol. Lookin’ W-I-D-E.

809

Happy Holidays to you and yours Git, and thank you for taking the time for that little holiday message :slight_smile:

4-5 days of training in a row amidst all this craziness is just, well, crazy. You could have probably just skipped rope and I still would have been impressed.

cheers

Sir Git! Happy holidays my good man. I wish you and the family all the best in 2011!

405 is yours.

xx, M.

811

Did you guys see that? Maschy xx’d me! …swoon

Merry Christmas M. Now stop eating like a 12 year old (wags finger)

812

You’re a good man Git. The women in here make it real easy to love… Wouldn’t you say?

Here’s your present. This is how we do down south. Add it to your training repertoire.

Here’s to you & yours. Raising a Smithwicks

That was some down and dirty swamp music…love it! I’ll put it in the rotation for sure.

Smithwick’s is tasty stuff. A toast to you sir…“clink”…with some Kilkenny.

Happy holidays, Git.

I so enjoyed the vid!

And the same to you Snap!

I’m glad the vid wasn’t too silly for you.
