Thanks Trent. I did technically hit my reps, but I was hoping for at least 3 good reps. No biggie.
Honestly, I think I just did my opener, second and third attempt on that workout. Seems like it would work well anyway.

Great job on the elliptical! Torching some calories and getting some stretching in. Nothing wrong with that.

Thanks Trent! It’s boring but watching Netflix on the phone helps.

Very strong session! Heck yeah, 1x275 paused is outstanding Shane! (Unless you were using bumper plates) 
JK The rest of that one looked strong as well. I kept looking for something that was mediocre and couldn’t find anything. LOL So how far out is your meet?

Thanks Trent. 275 felt good man. I am very happy with that. 
Meet is on 3/15. 10 days out. Next week will be a deload/rest week and then on Saturday go set some new meet PRs.

Thanks Trent. Got to get that cardio in. 
Yep, building shoulders for the beach. Once it’s warm it’s too late.

Saturday Cardio
250.2
Easy ride today.
45 minute slow ride, 5 minute cool down.
Reason I got a new scale is a foot on my old one broke, causing inaccurate readings. Which was probably also the reason I dropped to 247? Idk, but my new one says I am right back, steady at my 250 set point.
Once I get through this powerlifting meet, me and this set point are having a chat.

Sunday Cardio
Weight 249.4 late night and slept in
5 minute cool down ride
5 minute stretch
Took my wife, who I kid her about being an old hippy, to see Moe last night.
We both stayed sober, she always is but I joined her last night, so no weight bounce for me.
We ended up being some of the first people through the door so we were front row.

Nice couple of Peloton rides Shane! Also cool that you guys got some good seats at the concert. I’ve heard of the band but am not too familiar with them. I have been to a few shows sober and honestly prefer it. It is definitely possible to really enjoy the music and the experience sober. Plus you can actually recall more specific moments than you could if you were intoxicated. I had a friend from college who ended up pretty bad into alcohol and drugs and ended up spending about a decade in prison. He got out, found Jesus, sobered up and goes to shows all the time nowadays. He swears it’s better sober. Good for you guys!

Thanks Trent.
Yeah I typically don’t drink much at all anymore but if I go to see a concert I will have a couple beers. Definitely nowhere near drunk. 
I have had my years of doing that. Glad to be past them.
