Everything felt great today. Shoulders were no problem. The 365 flew up. Now not to do anything stupid and injure myself between now and December 2.
Just reading all the 2 board sets was tiring.
No kidding. I’d had enough by the last set. I may have been a little more tired because I turned 48 yesterday. Moving a bit more slowly.
Happy birthday…youngster !!
Happy birthday. I’d like to be 48 again, but be as strong as you.
Thanks my fellow seasoned lifters.
I tried a 15’’ box tonight instead of a 17’’ and what a difference. 15’’ felt real low and my quads were shaking by the end.

Great work as always here.

385 went up fairly quickly. I’m squatting on Wednesday and if I’m feeling as tired as I did today I’m taking a deload a week early.
Solid work going on in here…I likey!
Thanks Paul. I’m trying to be consistent.

I forgot the squat bar is 10 lbs heavier until I got to 425. I’ve never felt squats in my glutes and hips like I do on this box.

I see all is well (that I’ve read anyway). I’m liking your no nonsense workouts.
Well, when you’re as strong as this guy…
I’m a no nonsense kinda guy Mini. I hope all is well with you.
Biker keep talking like that and I’m going to blush.
So I was looking on Craig’s list (in the sporting section) and came across lifting chains. I think I got a good deal for a set of 25 lbs and a set of 15 lbs with the set up and clips for $100.
Chains FTW !!! Hey have you thought about contacting the strongman gym that went out of business and seeing if you can scoop up some stuff? Might be worth a try.
