HA! Well, Toronto is going to be my second home in the coming months! I’m gonna be hanging out downtown mostly. Ended up not lifting at all that week-- 16 hour days and 30 min drive back to hotel. We couldn’t get anything closer because a convention was in town. We usually stay just a couple blocks from customer site at the Hilton-- which has an OK ‘fitness center’.

Had some “The Keg” steak, some Ruth Chris Steakhouse steak, some funky chinese stuff. Ate lunch mostly underground in the Eaton Center area.

I’ll need to find a gym downtown somewhere.

Come into town and teach me how to squat right! :wink:

Damn, dude-- lookin lean and mean!!! Nice work there!

I’ve been alright-- busy as hell with work. TN time is way down last few months. I’m going to try to keep my log up-- probably tracking bench and squat-- just started squatting again after a self-imposed layoff.

I never really gave my back/hip a rest after I blew it out a few years back. I wanted to get a 500+ raw squat and worked endlessly toward that. After I got it, I felt I needed to not load the back for awhile. I pretty much stopped deadlifting, but still doing below knee racks and shrugs. It’s just the angle of the D/L.

I still am creeping up ever so slowly on the 405 bench. Adding squats back in felt great the other night, so I think that should progress well if I can stay consistent with the work travel I know is coming…

Squats or no squats you are one big mofo.

Do you head home on weekends? Will you be around in June? The first weekend in June is the Toronto super show at the convention centre. I’ll be lifting in the power lifting part. BB and I are also helping to organize the meet. However, if you’re in town then, you should check the show out.

On the subject of food, move away from the chains. Head out on the Danforth for Greek. Hit Spadina for Chinese. There are a crap ton of great places to eat and none of them are chains. I miss Toronto for the food.

There’s a Goodlife at the Eaton Centre /www.goodlifefitness.com/ClubDetails.aspx?ClubNo=181. They aren’t hard core but are pretty decent. I’ve gone to several in this area and have never had an issue using chalk etc.

Usually home on weekends, although we’ve been talking about sheduling weekends to work on systems when everyone is out of them. Sometimes if I have back to back weeks scheduled, I’ll stay through the weekend.

I usually fly in Sunday PM and out Thurs or Fri PM. If I’m there, I’ll definitely get to that!

Thanks for the food tips. Place is HUGE. We ate one night at Oliver and Bonacini in Bayview, that wasn’t bad, but I need like 6x the serving size they gave me.

Thanks for the gym tip!

Squats felt pretty good. Knee felt punky, but I just tightened the sleeve. 455 felt heavy after not squatting for so long. I was a little high on the depth, but I think I had another rep.
