I’m pumped because box squats felt really good. Keep them in the rotation.
My oldest trap bar deadlifted 640 tonight with the football team. He was all excited. I don’t thing I can trap bar deadlift that much.
That is A LOT of weight! It’s all that testosterone! Probably leaking out of his pores. Give him a hug, maybe some will transfer…
And he isn’t allowed to out lift you until he has moved out! Kids…no respect.
I quit!
that’s brutally awesome!
Yeah, 640 is brutally awesome. What are you feeding that kid?
He’s enjoying lifting. He squatted last night at 10 after he got home from work. I wanted to go to bed but went to the basement with him for moral support. I got a workout in a little earlier.

I think I have found a small tire too. That’s just what need, Ha!
Deadlifting 600+ with any bar is impressive! Doing it at your son’s age even more so.
Now I really fill old. My oldest is 37 now. Some of the new people joining this forum are younger
Happy Father’s Day! Hope it’s a good one!
Happy Father’s Day, young man!
Happy Fathers Day. Sounds like you are kicking it as a father and a lifter. 640 is ridiculous.
Thanks all. Hope you all have a great fathers day (both men and woman). I made some ribs that came out awesome today. They’re so easy to make I don’t know why I don’t make them more often. Both Kainen and I hit the weights after his morning hockey game.
I picked up a small rack and weights (45’s,25’s,10’s,5’s,2.5’s) from a woman my wife works with. The rack is kind of rinky dink but has a cable set up so we can do pushdowns, seated rows and other things like that. The 45 lb plates are small - just a little taller than a 35.

Ribs? thanks for the invite, geez you think you someone , but no…not even a card?
Hey Steve, hope all is well with you and yours
Paul, wish you’d have been here. I had enough for a few more people. An hour or so after the ribs we dragged the trap bar outside and did a bunch of carries with 315. I may be in rough shape tomorrow. Now I’m enjoying some bourbon on ice.
Sounds like you had a good Father’s Day. Good.
Harry, I had very relaxing Father’s Day. Lifting and eating. Hope you did as well.

I like single arm seated rows with my new toy. Adding them into the mix. The football bar makes the weight feel much heavier than a straight bar.
Did a quick one tonight. Box squats only.
Measured the box at 16.75 inches. A little higher than I thought but this height feels comfortable. My goal was to box squat 405x10 but after that my back had another set in it so I had to try 455. After 455 my back was done. Wide grip sldl, hams and back tomorrow night.

The 100’s are heavier than I remember them being. Thought I’d be using more.

Yes you are reading correctly. The word jog is not a misprint.
Steve- good stuff as always… I think by law 100s are supposed to be heavy?!!
And this jog thing you speak of: careful it leads to all kinds of bad behavior…its been linked to sprinting
Please give my best to your clan.
What was chasing you!? 100# db bench x 10 is strong.
