Very good progress!! I’d say good work hippie boy, but I don’t think my beard allows that now. So, I’ll just say kickass work. Keep trucking man.

lumberjack beard =/= long hippie hair.

Way to go PB. Now go get that MP.

Hippie hair = lumberjack beard = beanie while lifting :stuck_out_tongue:

Truth.

And Dixies’ right about your hair holging the 415 down. You probably couldn’t even see the bar, and were pulling on the pin set in the powercage next to you or something.

155 MP looked stupid easy.

oh haaaaaaai guyz! Whats going on in hurr? :slight_smile:

Seems like all the cool kids are doing paused front squats these days?

Congrants on all the PR’s man. That 405 looked pretty easy. You’ll be blowin past that real soon.

I feel like you’re training would really benifit from the use of a headband, preferably a cut off shirt sleeve… think about it.

Way to go PB. That definitely looked easy.

Phlegms, thanks man!

Gregron, oh herro! We aint doin nuthin up in hurr. And yes, kool kidz do paused atg front squats :stuck_out_tongue: Thanks man, I appreciate that and I definitely will be! Oh god, headband and no sleeves hmmmm :smiley:

Heracles, thanks brother!

SO MANY PRs!!!

You’ve really been nailing it recently mate. hitting multiple PRs in every workout? Boom, that’s pretty swole.

Keep up the good work.

great job on the pr’s you should wear your hair in a power pony tail… totally serious

Dude, get that shit out of here! Claxie boy would need a sweat shirt sleeve (in XXXL) to fit his huge mop into it anyway, and that’s going too far.
