Happy birthday! 44 is a babe. And chubby and bald is sexy. So own it!
As an aside, my son made minor AA. He is the only freshman on the ice. We have the best outdoor ice skating in the country three miles from my house. I keep vowing to skate for conditioning once winter is here.
Thanks Skip and Kpsnap.
Skip, now I need to catch your MP. I’d be happy with 50 lbs less then your max.
Kp, you must be so proud of your son. You should join an adult hockey league. I would but I can barely skate. It wouldn’t be pretty.
Ha! I was thinking you were a hockey player?? I am going senile.
I can hardly skate myself.

I had planned on several sets of calf raises and ab rolls but I was spent.
I’ll be 44 tomorrow. I’m already chubby and bald so no much can change. Maybe a little more white in my beard.

Extremely adequate lifting
44? Ok, let’s talk. You’re gonna start having strange feelings. You’ll look at girls different (hopefully) and start to grow hair all over (sorry, not on the head). Don’t be alarmed, it’s only puberty.
Happy Birthday.
How did the hockey games go?
44, I bet you still get carded!! Happy Birthday a little late…Many years ahead to get stronger! Be well and enjoy

Not to speak out of turn, but you are spot on, OG. I didn’t believe that just over four years ago. Today, though, folks like you and Harry definitely have me believing that I’ll still be progressing over a decade from now…maybe two, just to be cantankerous.
KP, my boys and brother-in-laws are the hockey players. I played football and ran track. Like I said I can barely skate.
Harry, is that why there’s hair in my ears and nose?
Paul, I haven’t been carded since I was 15. I should have known being able to grow a beard at 15 was a bad sign.
Skip, I often think the same thing. Guys 5+ years older than me still lifting hard and heavy.

Went on a guided UTV tour earlier today in northern NH with my wife and 2 boys for 4.5 hours. It figured to be a total of 50-55 miles through the White Mountains. Great time and beautiful views. Those things will go anywhere. Almost didn’t workout but its been several days since I’ve touched a weight.
Also, my wife and I had great time at Foxwoods Monday and Tuesday. Actually won money playing low stakes holdem.
Steve what do you think of the 50% set? I start them in about 4 weeks…I have a feeling that they are not fun!!
If you won money, wait about a month and you’ll get a nice letter in the mail inviting you back with all kind of comps…they are sneaky that way!

I like the 50% sets. I’m not going to use them with deadlifting though. My old man back may not appreciate high rep deadlifting. But bench, MP and trap bar deads I like so far.
I’m sure Foxwoods will be sending me some kind of promotion to get me to go back. But now hockey season has started I’m booked until spring.

Joshua told his Mom, today, that he doesn’t want to play football next year. He says there is too much running. He said he was going to play soccer instead 
After soccer was explained, he decided to reconsider quitting football. lol

no belt
Everything felt good. Low back wasn’t tight at all. Don’t know what happened but I’m not complaining.

How funny. He weighed his options and thought better of his decision.

Ok, that’s outstanding. And I mean the bench and the chin ups and the presses.

Thanks Harry. A few good nights sleep and an enjoyable vacation go a long way.
Strong work for sure…although not surprising always good stuff in here
Nice bench, Steve! I think your bench max goes up every time I get near it.
That’s a lot of MP as well. Did you feel it the next day?
Thanks Paul. I try to supply the good stuff.
Skip, I’ve got to stay ahead of you on at least one lift. And I did ache the next day. But it was more my lats from the 11 sets of chin ups.

See, I am so programmed NOT to acknowledge that other people can actually do chin ups that I didn’t even notice them!
Those are even more impressive! I am definitely envious!
I think chin ups need to be part of my next set of goals. Of course, losing weight would help correct the deficiency.
