65s/500 yards surely create memorable handshakes.

Wow, that felt good. Although I may pay for it later. Four of my young officers where there, so I had to pick it up and show what the old man can still do. The 700 V-Squat was the most I have ever attempted. They were not exactly super deep. I attempted the 600 lb belt squat to see what it would feel like. Again, the most I have ever attempted.

I’ve been getting the urge to compete again, after taking last year off. I promised my wife that I was in semi-retirement.

Impressive leg workouts. Bet they help bench and deads.

I deadlift semi-sumo, so I think the belt squats will have a carry over.

The public gym has two garage doors. It was a nice warm day, and both were open. Plenty of energy today.

You’re looking beastly as always. I preferred the semi sumo pull too. Felt the most comfortable.

Thanks. I could never make conventional work for me when I got older.

I felt much stronger than this going in. I deadlift every two weeks. I think next time around, I’ll avoid my weighted walks during the week. Both in one week might be too much.

“too much”, for you or for normal guiys?

No. I’m pretty sure too much for me. My legs were still a little sore. I should have known better. I thought I was fine because all I did for four days was sit on my ass and watch basketball.

Back in the garage. My wife’s Cadillac has something wrong with it, so she’s driving my truck. I don’t like driving my work car around, unless it’s for work. Thankfully, I have all the equipment at home.
