I can sympathize. I make my living sitting behind a computer and it wreaks havoc on your whole body. I hope you are feeling much better.
I can’t even imagine getting 5 plates on each side of the HS Low Row. It doesn’t seem like they’d fit so hats off to you brother. I’d be in the ER if I tried it.

LOL! Nah.
We have those magical big assed 100 lb plates that are just a little wider than the normal 45’s, so they just take up a little more room than 4 plates with a little to spare

Looking strong StellyD. I hope you’re recovering from your injury. Is there a reason you don’t bench? or have I just missed it somewhere? You’d put up a great bench with db presses like that.

Hey eco-
I’m playing it conservative with loading the back just kind of easing into it. I want to squat this week, probably relatively light for reps then wrench down reps and go heavier over the next few weeks.
I just haven’t been benching because of schedule and consistency and haven’t been able to hook up with a spotter (key entry gym, I’m usually there alone and no safety rack). I close gripped last week.
I’m interested to see where I am with the bench for not having been consistent the past couple months. I don’t know that my db press translates into bench poundages. This week after pressing the 140’s was the first time in a very long time that my pecs were sore the next day
I’m consistently getting to the gym, but my routine has been chaotic (much like my log here). Maybe that’s good for awhile, but certainly not something i want to keep up long term.
You’re numbers are moving up fast. I’d not want to bench either at your level of lifitng without a spotter.
Great work in here Steely One.
I’d also agree with Joe. Last night at the commercial gym some kid was reverse-grip benching with a mere 135 and missed the J hook on one side when re-racking and basically dropped half of it on his face. It was not a pretty sight–I couldn’t imagine what would happen if he was using real weight. I seldom get a spotter, but I’m rethinking whether this is a wise policy.

What Snoop Dog said.
A little “Rock n Roll”:
For those of you who don’t frequent the pit of “Get A Life” forum, there’s a “TNation Guitar Players Thread”. Here’s a pic of me when I was about 17 playing in the local bars. Probably '88-'89
Love the open shirt. Why don’t you do a present-day version of that for your avi?

Hmm, I think I may have sent the spandex to the round file…

Here’s another, maybe a year or so later. You can tell I’m older because my hair is longer and I have some hair on my chest… LMAO!!
I don’t have any of the clothes anymore, but I still have the yellow guitar.
