Lovely photos! Snow is a pain in the arse if you’re trying to get to work but it makes for a nice time away. And mmm cocoa at breakfast sounds nom.
I am also a goat cheese fan. I hated cheese up until I was 19, then started eating it. Now I love every cheese, even the stinky blue ones.

Totally agree on the snow, it’s lovely if I don’t ahve to go places, a fucking pain in the ass if I do.

Oh it’s going to be a small non-existent ceremony, so I can’t invite you, I totally would otherwise. I am accepting gifts though. Since there’s no actual wedding I didn’t register anywhere, but cash will be accepted. I’ll PM you the address. Thanks, I’ll be sure to send a note when I get it.
Monday
AM: I stretched, I’m a bit sore and bruised from the weekend. The guys do not treat me like the delicate flower I am, so I got pelted with a lot of snow balls, subjected to a lot of throws and used to demonstrate new ninja moves. You ever get that urge to run up to someone, knock them down, and keep running? Yeah, so did they.
PM: Not feeling my program, and I kinda wanted to bench, so…
Inverted Rows BW 5x5
Cause I miss these on occasion
BB BP 45x5 75x5 80x2x5 85x3x5
I’ve been reading the Q&A, I know if I put in leg drive and used technique, this number could be higher, but I’m not a powerlifter… should I still make the BP a full body motion? The suggestion of pulling the bar apart was spot on though.
Row on the pully machine I used the V handle, did some weights x 5 x5
Pushups off the bench 5x5
Then I did a bit of YTLW, some shoulder savers and band pull aparts while watching a guy load up a bar and do 1/8 squats with all the 45s he could fit on the bar.

I consider it an honor to be treated as prey by the little ninja kiddos!
As for the bench, do you want to brag about your bench 1 RM? If so, you should bench like a PL. Do you want to build a bigger chest? Don’t bench, it’s bad for your shoulders and elbows and stuff. I’ll see if I can dig up the T-Nation article discussing this.
I did some of those shoulder savers today. I can’t say I really get it.
Anywho…here is a good article…but you want to bench, yes? I’d guess that you still pull your shoulders together for shoulder health but don’t exaggerate the arch etc
Also a very good article which I love which explains why we should focus on more pressing movements(Over head)
