That was a nice after work pump.
Hey I’m in college, too. Just happens that I work for one, haha. My kids are only 6 and 8, so we have a ways to go before they’re out of the house.
I talked about it in my new training thread, but I stepped out of the training game because I let a hernia get out of hand. Been back at it seriously since late last year and even did a meet earlier this year - with 2 more to come this year.
How far down you expecting to cut? You going to put on a speedo and get tanned for the stage?
Whoa, whoa, Slow down now… let’s not get ahead of ourselves.
Ha, got to be honest, I’ve thought about it, but I’m a fat ass so I have a long way to go.

Nothing too hard, just stretching things out. I think I need to start deadlifting later in the day. The first in in the morning is not working out. I feel like I am sleep walking.
Your usual (early) schedule would be to much for me, whatever the workout.
I’ve never really understood you (morning training) people, aside from ‘you train when you can’.
It’s just been more of a habit than anything. Plus it’s been when most of my buddies are there.

just catching up in here.
looking good- solid work.
good news on your kids colleges.
Of course; the AM Curl Crew (reference, 7/16 workout)
And bench, of course.
Just early mornings on the weekends. I gave up the 5:00 AM weekday workouts about six months ago. I like hitting it before work, but getting up at 4:30 sucks.
Thanks. The wife and I will have to find out what people do.

I decided to right for it today at 405. The 445 board press was a rough one. I had to have help half way up. I have no expectations going into this meet. I think I am going to keep the first two lifts super light.
We do what we did before we had kids.
It’s an adjustment to not having them home for meals, day to day life, and their extra- curricular activities. I think the idea is to raise them to grow and be independent individuals.
In the end it’s like life before kids, hopefully you have a little more income now than then. Most likely you have a little less energy .
It’s the mix for the rest of your days, patience is a virtue to find your balance.
Good luck.
;Sure, I get it. 6am is about my ‘early’ limit (4am wouldn’t happen).
Thanks. It’s going to be different because we have been so involved. Our son played football and we were the team parent. Our daughter played tennis and we were the team parents for tennis too. We’re looking at doing some traveling.
It’s tough.
