Wow, your bench is looking awesome: 360 x 4 is great.

Oh, this is the edit, I just saw that maybe should have been 260 but that’s good too.

lots of volume
I see you are still liking the emom .
nice work.
415x7 is beastly

Not much training lately, but we’ve had several good camping trips in July and the boy (6) got up on skis today under his own power holding the handle. He’s been crushing the skimmer/trainer (where the line is actually attached skimmer/he’s not holding the handle), so today was a big step forward because he’s actually doing the work.

Here’s another.

Incredible pictures. You must be a proud Papa.

Notes: Summer’s over, time to get back to work. I’m going to ease back into the gym for winter training.

BW 216. I picked up a few pounds in the last two weeks now that skiing is winding down. I am going to watch what I eat for a few weeks then evaluate whether more serious cutting is necessary. I really don’t want get too heavy before the Holiday’s start.

Nice to see you back.

Welcome home!

Thanks boys!

I had work, multiple camping trips, and lots of skiing this summer and I just couldn’t fit everything in. All in all a good summer and I don’t feel guilty about the break from the gym. But its good to be back.

Front Squats: 135 x 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3.
