New Hampshire Lifter II

That’s got to be a pre stone workout.

Dang…that’s the 2nd 405 bench I’ve seen this morning; Crippler was the 1st !!

Biker, I’ve been neglecting the stones. When the weather brightens up I’ll get outside more often. I made another stone this morning. It’ll be around 170 lbs. A woman I work with let me borrow a slater stone mold she had hanging around her house. Much easier than the plaster around the ball method.

Eric, I aim to please.

I was limited for time because I had to get my son to drivers ed. So I motored through this workout. Looking forward to lifting the stones this weekend.

Is that the moon? What cute little paws you have. Can I see the rest?

Mini, those are Mr Luke’s paws. If you like dogs you’d love him. Very friendly yellow lab. And that does look like the moon doesn’t it?

1b. Atlas stone lift x a bunch

Brought a bar outside and alternated between standing MP and stones. I only have plate sets of 25s, 35s and 100s outside so I was a little limited on weight choice. 245 clean and press was not happening tonight. My peri workout nutrition consisted of black flies that kept flying in my mouth.

Ewwwwwwww! :confounded:

upping your protein intake I see !!

Bugs. Its whats for dinner.

My shoulders are still nagging me when I bench. I’ve even pulled my grip way in. I may have to try board press or the sling shot/bench daddy see those help.

I use a 25 for a doorstop in my office.
