Rising From the Ashes (CL)

Suitcase Walk/Shrug, that sounds like a neat plan.

Solid work. I use the trap/hex bar exclusively for deads now. Much easier on the lower back… Way to get it done even though your heart wasn’t in it. And no worries about bench/OHP. There are plenty of sore subjects for me too. Ha ha

Nice job on the last few sessions. Looked up Anderson squats and that looks like a cool variation. I like the affordable sandbag too. No kidding on this weather. It is in the 50’s and raining here in NC too. Very strange for this time of year. At least you guys can buy gas right now though… :roll_eyes:

Love it!

I am a magnet for mosquitoes. It’s frightening how many more bites I get than anyone else in the same vicinity. Bro science says I have “thin skin” -I can confirm the figurative aspect, not sure about the literal…

If you keep putting out that feed then do wonder you get the deer come back…

My mom attracts them much better than I do. I was just the only food source the other morning. My son says that only the female mosquitoes bite. So maybe you are just a chick magnet.

I don’t feed the deer. I bought that bag for the sole purpose of carrying it. I can throw it over my left shoulder and walk from here to the highway, the right one not so much. I am hoping that by carrying it on the right side for a bit, it will help straighten things out.

Good work on the trap bar and RDLs. Way to get out there and get it done even though you weren’t feeling it.

Your sandbag workout reminds me of my “workouts” on the farm as a kid.

I’m not sure how seriously I’m going to stick to the rest periods. I trialled it before and it suuuuuucked. I am also old.
