Wha! I go away for awhile and you get all 455 X 10. Why when I was…never mind. Great lifting.

Hey thanks guys. I try to keep chipping away at the stone.

I bought an adjustable bench the other day so I tried inclines for the first time in years. I only used a low incline. And I used a 2 board press to keep my shoulders happy. And yes my legs are so short I need the 4’’ board so my feet can touch.

Nice set up going.

967

Sweeeet! I have an adjustable bench that I have to put plates under my feet too!

Thanks Harry and ChickenLittle.

Time for a cry session so I’ll get my tissues out. I ‘popped’ my lower back doing deads last night. I’m walking around hunched over like Quasimodo today. And I strained/torn something in my left forearm so its quite painful doing some pulling exercises especially chin-ups. So I’m taking a few days off. Maybe do some BW stuff. Maybe just watch netfilx. Crying session is now over.

969

Awww man! Hope you get to feeling better soon!

Work the pain angle, lot of moaning and groaning, get massages from the wife. Heal up.

Guess the weekend movie thing is canceled.

Nice bench. Almost embarrassed to admit it but I’ve never used a band in lifting.

980

Harry, I’m not sure how much bands and chains really add. They’re just fun to use. For me it keeps things feeling new.
