Congrats bud! Here’s to mark and his partner 
To a life full of happiness and prosperity
Side note: if you ever use hair removal cream, remember to wash it off with soap, and don’t let it touch your face or eye brows. I used it about 2 years ago, and was washing it off my hands (this particular brand said leave it on for 30 seconds and wash off in shower)
I then proceeded to used body wash afterwards and didn’t realise there was still a lump of it on the back of my hand.
Scrubbed my neck and face, washed it off, opened my eyes and my left side of my facial eye brows had been removed.
That was not a fun 3 months whilst they grew back

Pete Rubish actually talked about that in the past 
His wedding ring cost him a few deadlifts due to his hand ripping.

Congrats man!
Regarding the wedding ring, I take mine off prior to training. This is how I forget to wear it sometimes, and it feels weird to be without it once you get used to it.

Congrats brother. Oh, the roller coaster of life 
.
Think you’re joking, but don’t lift with your ring on. It’ll damage it plus cause your finger to bruise. Cuts circulation. Have had it happen several times and it’s very uncomfortable!

Congrats on the wedding man!
If your new bride does not mind, take it off and put it on a D ring on your keychain while training or it’ll get scratched the hell up.
OR, you could go with Something like this QALO ring

Woke looking really decent.
Thanks for all the love everyone
Keyring idea is probably the best.

All of my jewelry stays at home. My ring is tungsten so if it gets hung up then I’m losing my finger.

I got a titanium ring. I’ll still take it off to train though, at least for heavy rows and DL and stuff.

I’ve always hated the idea of having a gold ring. Tungsten or Titanium is so much more boss!
Not that I’m ever going to get married and I don’t wear jewellery so it doesn’t really matter…

OK, back to (slightly and very happily different) normality
Today’s training
Plate raises with 33 lbs for a bunch - took a lot more than usual to get my shoulders going
Press
10xbar
8x88 lbs
9x132 lbs, 7-8 RPE
8x132 lbs, 8-9 RPE
Things went not exactly South from here, but not what I expected either.
8x132 lbs, 9 RPE - reps six to eight with leg drive because there was no way I was getting eight without
2x8x132 lbs, 9 and 8-9 RPE both sets reps five to eight with leg drive
Drive or not, rear delts and tris fried. Not sure where this lack of power came from but I’ll sure AF carb up today. I was considering giving it a miss due to the weekend but given the mirror this morning and performance today I think I’ll need it for tomorrow.
Lateral raises supersetted with low/mid rows
Raises 5x12x20 lbs - brutal AF but as I’ve been boxing on with these at 20 lbs for six weeks without feeling they’re ready to go up I think it’s time to swap them out. Not sure what for, but it’ll be something lateral/rear delt-y
Rows 1x15x132 lbs, 4x12x132 lbs - another week and I’ll go up to 143 lbs
Rear delt machine supersetted with Hammer Strength pulldowns
Delts 3x15 at pin six, elbows on handles - same situation as lateral raises. I’ll swap these out. I’m thinking chest supported DB rear delt raises
Pulldowns 3x15x55 lbs/side - great lat pump. Another week or two and I’ll go to 66 lbs/side
BB curls 4x25xempty bar
All up done in an hour and 20 minutes. Lower back held up great, which I’d been concerned about as Friday through mid Sunday it was tight, stiff AF and jabbed me any time I moved unexpectedly.
