Awesome man.
Great you talked to her 
You’re such a decent person
Aw shucks 
She’s the mother of one of the ladies who trains with one the good PLers at Elite. She’s just got a plain good attitude: she isn’t happy with just going through the motions. She learns, and she improves. Also has a wicked sense of humour.

I do make a point of helping out new people at the gym, especially older and younger. On occasion that’s a waste of time. Usually not.

Woke at 219.8 lbs, looking similar yesterday and the previous days.
@antagonisticsavant thanks. Right until they didn’t, huh? I’ve still got a lot to learn. Like stopping when I should.
@Destrength July 15. I’ve got this block, a deload, another accumulation block, a deload and then peak.

Woke at 218.7 lbs, looking the same as ‘usual’. I’m getting somewhat confused now, because I’ve been eating over budget most of the last 10 days.

Random information: last night I dreamt I benched four plates in my single ply shirt. @Destrength handed out to me.

It’s a sign. Go to the gym next time wearing your single ply shirt, slap 4 plates on the bench and push that thing off your chest. No safeties, no spot, no warmup, just all you!

You know what that means, buy me a plane ticket to Australia for a 4 plate bench.

To be honest I am not sure Mark could unrack it solo. I am pretty sure I couldn’t and my PR isn’t that far off (380).
Or maybe I just suck really bad at unracking.
