JW- you just put me into a cold sweat…I have to make that appointment and just thinking about it tightens me up!..Cheating or not…115 impresses the heck out of me, it would rip my arm off at the shoulder. Nice work…stay warm
AAAWWWWW SHIT!! Now we are under a FLOOD watch… How can flat and 3’ above sea level be under a FLOOD watch! I hope I can swim to the gym tomorrow
All’s well if the end’s well.
Keep tellin you to do some swimming, now’s your chance. For every clear day we get we get 3 of rain. Glad all’s well in the posterior.
And Old Goat, if you think you’ll get sympathy from this group, forget it. I was ridiculed soundly for my aversion to having a camera rammed up my butt. Just ain’t no dignified way to get something shoved up your ass. Get the doc to play some nice music for you.
Don’t swim, use an inflatable raft, you would look sooo much cooler.

Nice session.
do you wear headphones at the gym?
you dont even need an Ipod nod point to the head phones, mouth ’ I cant here you fuck face’
it works great.
glad the Dr. cleaned your whistle.
Good looking Kroc rows, I’d be fried after that.
Dateline Friday 4:20 am Bastardly weak squat day
Box squat: 135x10, 2x185x8, 2x185x6
Elliptical Machine: 12 minutes
OK I’m tired of slacking. I got up and started back Squatting. Maybe I’ll study up on 531 and squats. At least I can be peek into the sanctuary of 5-3-1. Looks like more winter weather for us. Global warming be damned. Climate change, seems like the climate of my childhood again.
JW’s top 5 things not to say or do during the proctologist exam: 5.Sing " Put your left hand in take your left hand out. You do the Hokey Pokey…"4. Say "Easy Doc, you’re where no man as traveled before."3. Ask if he found Amelia Earhart.2. Accuse him of being a former Enron Exec. 1. Ask for a note to the wife confirming your head IS NOT up your ass.
I think its best not to make the doc laugh when he has his hand up your ass.
I tried posting a pic of my actual webbed feet last night, but our upload connection is insanely slow right now. I didn’t realize I was “different” from everyone else until I was 18 and the doc asked me if I wanted him to “fix” my feet and separate my second and third toes that are basically connected together. Only a non-covered $20,000 procedure and several months on crutches. I said how bout you blow me instead.

You must join, not study it! It’s not a cult…really…If you join you’ll learn the secret handshake, add 100lbs to your squat in a year by learning the 5/3/1 mantra uttered during squats, and get access to the hidden area on this site with all of the other 5/3/1 lifting secrets. Its a lifetime commitment of course, but don’t let that bother you. You’ll be a happy man.

Thank you for that anal-ysis.
Footporn, Jack? Man, you should be able to get a little extra footstroke push when swimming. Wilson, my CO once scheduled me for an Optirectomy to disconnect my eyes from my asshole and improve my shitty outlook. Oh yeah, way to get back on the squats.
Nice work on the box squats!
Yes come to 5/3/1. Its simple, not a lot of thought required, just basic math skills. I ahbe the kid down the street doing my percentages of my maxes. I kinda didnt pay attention much in pubic skool. I hope it doesnt hold me back much
Jack, seems you are a genetic swamp rat, you need to move south again!
OP, I’m going to remain a 5-3-1 heretic for a while. I never was good with the secret handshake thing. My frat brothers always got pissed off an me for f$%king that up
Your welcome Tony, its the only way I’ll be Lee Corso Jr
Thanks Harry, I think I need one of those procedures to improve my outlook on bankers.
KMC, I have a ways to go. Thanks for the kind words.
I’m a math dumb ass UN42. 5-3-1 percentage will challenge me! Hell figuring a tip challenges me!
Dateline Saturday 4:19 am. Bastardly flooded bench day
Bench press: barx20, 135x12, 170x10, 210x8, 240x6, 270x4 (rep PR film to follow), 210x8
Incline DB press: 2x60x12
Pec Deck: 2x135x12, super setted with push ups: 10, 7
JM Press in the Smith: 185x10, 205x8, 225x6
OH Triceps rope ext. 2x140x12
Dips: 2xBWx6 (Woo Hoo first time in a year!)
Hit a rep PR with 270. I’d like to see if I can repeat it next week before moving on to the next progression in the program. I have been Jonesing to dip again. (I think there are some that would say you dip shit, you need to do dips). Tried them today, suffered no pain! Dips are back in the training. Also had my feelings hurt. I realized the pec deck and the OH triceps deals are a 2:1 reduction. SSSOOO if I learned it right in 8th grade science, I’m only picking up half the weight marked on the stack.
BTW, I’m not bitching about flood warnings, I have never seen this area so wet in all my 48 years. Fields that normally grow corn and soybeans are covered with water. They look like flooded rice fields. I started down the flooded street by the gym and had second thoughts when my truck started to float. Dammit, NOW its snowing again!!
There are a couple of meets coming up close to me. The Battle of the Border bench, dead lift, and strict curl meet comes up in late March, and the 100% Raw Powerlifting NC State Championship meet is happening in my home town. I may get my guts up and try the bench contest. Last year they didn’t have many ‘old dudes’ competing.
JW’s realization of a snowy Saturday: The chances of meeting someone with Barbie’s human-scale measurements (36-18-33) is 1 in 100,000. The chances of meeting someone with Ken’s is 1 in 50.
Here is the vid:
That is some fine bench’in my friend. You are one strong sumbeatch. Congratulations!
I’m wicha on the idea of competing. There aren’t too many brothers in iron at our age.
I have a goal of benching 365 raw at 198lbs this year. If I can bring my squats and deads to something over 400 raw, I’ll definately do some over 50 meets.
That’s some serious weather y’all are have’in out there. Hope it drys out soon for ya.
Awesome! Great PR, Wilson!
Great job pushing through on the 4th rep. Of course, since you weren’t in a rack, and didn’t have a spotter, I’m sure the alternative is what helped stoke the fire 
Since you had the collars on, what was your backup plan?? lol
Looks like you rubbed the rack on the 3rd rep. Great recovery, and great PR!
Thanks Skip, I guess I didnt have a backup plan. I probably should have been in the power rack. I guess its was a WTF deal, if I didnt make it, then I’d figure something out sooner or later.
Jack I did hit the rack on the 3rd rep. That unnerved me a little bit.

Slept in today. the daughter went to her first dance, so we were late going to bed, after getting all the details. I found out a couple of things today. a lot of young, strong cats train mid-day on Sunday. I felt old AND weak. Also for some odd reason I feel I get a more intense workout training on an empty stomach. I cooked breakfast for the crowd this morning. I had Greek yogurt with dried fruit and nuts mixed in, as well as 6 slices of bacon. who knows?
I did try some different things today. Regardless of the lack of intensity I had fun.
JW’s Sunday thought, given we have to meet with bank consultants next week: Consulting, If you are not part of the solution, there is money to be made prolonging the problem
