Also, great advice on the 25# weight. If you ask my youngest, that goes for 10# weights as well.
Congrats on the A’s! The difference is maturity, motivation and life experience. Makes me think of the saying…
“When I was 15, I couldn’t believe how stupid my parents were. When I hit 30, I couldn’t believe how much they had learned in 15 years.”
I can also advise you not to drop an 80lb DB on your groin.

Christmas Eve Day
Attempting a 5# pr in the standing military press (245#)
Attempt #1=Epic Fail
Rest, regroup…
Attempt #2=Really Epic Fail.
This shit is actually heavy!!!
No flying bar this time as it barely started to move. Ah well, regroup and continue on.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all.
Revelations for the year:
Life continues whether you participate or not, so I’m much better off participating
When you get dealt a knuckleball (losing your job), knock it back down the pitchers throat (go back to school and find a new career)
I’ll take the wisdom of age and experience over youthful impetuousness and exuberance any day of the week and twice on Sunday
When you can no longer do one thing, find a replacement and do that instead. Bitching about what you
can’t do is useless and no one really cares.
Humility is thinking about yourself less, not thinking less about yourself. Important difference. This was and still is the hardest and most important lesson I have learned and continue to learn.
These are my early morning, caffeinated musings. I probably learned alot more than this, I hope, but I’m done musing for now.
Rug- Right on brother! true revelations! Thanks for sharing that!!
Good work in here, Rug, I hope you and your family had a great Christmas.

Fine pressing rug, I’m not sure I’m brave enough to do close grip on inclines.

I’ll say this about inclines. No matter what you try to do, the range of movement is way bigger than flat benching, at least for me, because just like flat benching, I make sure to touch and go.

What!? No coal?? That fat, jolly bastard lied to me! He said you were getting two lumps of coal!
I still feel fat. But that makes sense. Hope you had a great Christmas and an even better 2011.

Is the “HS Isobench” the flat bench that you lay down on?

It’s the seated one. If I had to lie on a flat bench, I couldn’t do it.
