One Bourbon, One Squat, One Beer

great bench’n steely. i think a bunch of us were cut from the same cloth. that cloth may be pretty damn ugly cloth, but still the same.

does anyone ever get up in the morning, turn on the bathroom light and get startled by their own reflection? there are times when i see myself and think- “damn… you be big, hairy and ugly!!!” i feel like i should be living among the cave men a couple billion years ago.

Hair? on my head? Hair and necks look good on women.

Thanks, dudes.

Yeah, my cloth is kinda smelly, too.

In spite of all the head hair envy in this thread I must say great work on the bench.

I Just had this conversation- a friend has dimmers in his bathroom- every one asks,
he said do you think I want to see me at 4 am getting ready for work??

I guess I need to shave my head and go for the goat .

This thread has had me laughing for the laST 5 MINUTES… too damn funny.

Hair and necks look good on women… scare myself in the morning… oh sh**… hahahaha

Leg Press:
6pps x 10

It’s soo cool to be too sore to walk normal. Great job on the 380x7!

Saturday - Off

AM: 45 min Rec. Bike, L.9

Lots of yardwork. Trying to stay ahead of the brush. It rained the whole month of June and the growth is just crazy. I have about 5 trees I need to down, but want to wait until Fall when the leaves drop. Got a couple tricky ones. One is leaning toward the neighbor’s house and another couple are tangled at the top. 10-12" maples.

Sunday - Off

15 minutes Rec. Bike L.9

YTWL, Foam Roll

Wanted to deadlift today, but I think I tweaked something yesterday during the yardwork. Left trap/neck/lat are just seized up today-- just like a big freakin knot in my trap/scap/neck or something. Can’t hardly turn my head or get up. I slept like shit because of the stiffness. Today was the first workout of ‘Max’ week, but may be a deload especially if I’m still stiff tomorrow and can’t bench.

I hate stupid stiff neck/back shit like this, but at least it’s not a serious injury. Maybe I’ll hit the chiro a few days early.

Ironically, it makes my right scap feel pretty damn good by comparison…

That’s why I keep a log in Powerful Women. We’re all pretty and we smell good.

Great job on the bench PR. I don’t know what it is about being in a gym but my i.q. drops 20 points. It drops 40 at a meet.

It’s cool though. You’re cute enough that you don’t have to be bright.
