That’s tough at any age but with youngon’s too…
Nice work on the deads and your winter clothes must have added 15 lbs to your bodyweight for those chins.

They have lots of family around so that should help.
Hmmm…clothes. That’s my problem. A little cold for half-naked chins but it’s all about the numbers. I have to be able to do at least as many as the hot cripple (well, former cripple).

Kimba, yes, life is short. I learned last week that a cousin has been diagnosed with a rare lymphoma usually seen in men in their 60s. He does more right than wrong health-wise and is one of those people that everyone likes. They are removing his bone marrow in two weeks and his first chemo is 8 goddamn hours. His kids are the same fucking age as mine. He is one year older than me. Median survival is 6 years. Fuck.
Print, if I had one wish internal peace would probably be it. It seems more elusive sometimes than it should be. I need to get better at making that happen.[/quote]
I’m truly sorry to hear about your cousin . I find that your post strikes me very personally since my family had to face the same thing last year. When my wife was diagnosis with a form of Lymphoma also. So I can understand emotional toll it might be taking on you. It can take a major toll not only on the person that is fighting it but also on the ones who truly care deeply for that person. My hopes go out to your cousins family.

Thanks Bulldog. Can I ask how your wife is doing? No need to answer.
Next time do your chins naked. Since the clothes are so heavy and all.
My powerlifting coach has lymphoma. I think he’s beating all the odds with it though so far. Fingers crossed for your cousin.

First off I should have said the summer of 09 I kinda of forgot its now 2011. But shes doing fine now . So far cancer free. Shes has a few issues from the effects created by the chemo along with scare tissue from all the tumours ,she had to have a stint put in due to the weakening of a artery walls do to the destructive nature of the chemo. The hardest thing for her at this time is just the fear she might have to face the same battle again down the road . But again ,I truly hope things work out for your cousin.

I concur. Snapper is always so sensible.
Hey there Git! looks like you’ve had your hands full eh?
Sorry to hear about your cousin - I’ll keep him in my prayers.
But good on you for keeping your moral up and your head level, training hard. Good man.
Congrats on the success of your ‘plan’ - sounds mysterious 
And nice training as always. I don’t follow 5/3/1, so I got nothing to offer, but i’m sure you’ll figure out something that works. Sticking points are a bitch!
Not sure about that cracka music, but Robert Plant I’d make sweet, sweet love to, over and over, and over…
Guys doing chinups are very appealing to the wimmins. 
That bites about your cousin. I wish him the very best of luck.
Eat right, train hard and the Big C could still getcha. That’s a harsh, cold, sucky reality. Boy do I wish that were different.
DUDE!
For what it’s worth, my buddy’s wife has survived lymphoma for seven years now symptom free, and nothing negative in sight. An average, good things happen just as often as bad. He sounds like a helluva guy. You go share some of your fortitude with him.
And nice pullups. I prefer to do mine naked…

I am very happy that she is doing well. The fear of the unknown must be tough but I’ll send good vibes her way.

Internal peace is what you make it. Every time I have some kinda strife going on, I look at all the things I have good in my life. You have a great family, put THAT to the forefront. You have friends here, put THAT to the forefront. Find the positives in the things you accomplish everyday & put THAT to the forefront. Before you know it, you than have a positive flow which in turn will give you internal peace.
& if all else fails… Do what I do… Get hammered, pussy hound around town, sleep it off…Tomorrow is a new day.
Snapper, that’s good news about your coach. Sounds like a tough bastard. And this slap thing you mentioned, is that an ass-slap before a big lift. If so, a high-five for him from me
Maschy, the sun shines brighter when you pop in here so don’t be a stranger. And, just for you, I will make sure that Zeppelin is in heavy rotation during my vids. If you feel the irresistible urge to remove and throw underwear make sure there are pics, mmmk. I bet Plant’s groupies are still many.
Kimba, if you’re happy I’m happy
CanadaK, that’s good news about your buddy’s wife. Thanks for the encouraging words. And, uh, thanks for the visual.
I don’t know much about the various lymphomas. His is Mantle Cell. I’ll spend some time on google.

Wise words, my friend, wise words.
I’m a bit of a thinker / planner / worrier by nature so I need to push back on that every now and then. Doing, instead of thinking, is usually the cure.
^I would say outside of the thinking part we could be brothers. As for planning, I have to tell my penis “that half past the hr I’ve got a 2 min window, be ready to go pee Old Drizzly.” Now that’s planning my friend.
Well it IS important to talk to your penis on a regular basis. Keeps the relationship strong.
Cycle 7, week 1
Bench (at commercial gym. Bar sucked. Skinny and slippery and I was out of chalk.)
135 x 5
155 x 5
190 x 9…might be a PR. I’ll have to check)
185 x 5,5,5
Incline Hammer Smith
1 pps x 8
1 x 25 x 8
2pps x 5
2pps x 25 x 3,3,3,3,3
2pps x 8
CG Smith
1pps x 8
1pps + 25 x 5
2pps x 3
1pps + 25 x 8
Counted pushups for a friend that is trying to get to 100 push-ups (don’t ask me why…I don’t know. Some sort of office challenge). Not much to her at 110lb but she has some sexay muscle (hey that reminds me of someone). Did 5 sets of 15-20.
She must have really twisted your arm hard for you to spend quality time out of your workday watching her do pushups.
That is sure alot of pressing. I just can’t hammer on one movement for a whole workout cause I get too fatigued…

Kimba, as you know, I am a giver and will gladly take time from my busy schedule to assist people in achieving their goals…especially if they are cute…and wearing yoga pants.

Thank you . My wife can use all the good vibes she can get.

Can you give an example of how such a conversation might go?
On second thought, don’t.
