My son got his bar exam results yesterday and he PASSED. That was cause for a family celebration last night. We were out until 0100, so I was in no condition for bench press. I figured I would get some legs in.

Short and sweet.

I am hoping now that my boy is done with law school and studying, we can get back in the gym together. He said he wants to try the worlds with me next year. He already has started his job with our prosecutor’s office.

Congrats also. He’ll remember that moment. Great things ahead for him.

Thanks. He gets sworn in next week.

You’re just a kid. I am 52 going on 53. I can honestly say I am stronger now than I was a 35.

I really got after it on the shoulder carries. It’s been a while since I pushed it that far with those. My quads were already screaming when I was done with them.

During my 20s I read 28 was peak strength age. This site–and your log–smashes that fallacy.

Good sandbag work. Getting that sandbag on shoulder and carrying it that far surely helps deadlifting from floor. Check out a significantly solid Australian guy on youtube who “plays” with BIG rocks and splits firewood in backyard. He also lifts in gym but backyard stuff is fascinating.
