Strongest Guy on My Block

The matching socks are a nice touch

Good to hear things were a little smoother last night. Keep doing the dishes & things will be alright.

Just doing dishes would be great. I will not speak of the horrors that I am subject too.

Matty couldnt help it that picture cracked me up.

^So you did chest today…LOL!

How’s the home life? Momma any better?

^ yes you could say I did chest, I used to do dips to finish off chest and tri’s but man my left shoulder cannot take it. So now I do narrow grip with the fat gripz so it really works the chest and tris. I did bench for years when I was younger, over did it really. So now just once a week, do some pressing. Does it seem excessive?

Wife is good, we made up yesterday and going out for dinner today. Most people would not think its a big deal but to my wife she just goes off the deep end.

I am out of the office today, so at home just fucking around. Mon and Tues I was in meetings until almost 10 pm.

Nah, not excessive, me just being a jackass.

After having both shoulders operated on I can dip until the cows come home, never have any shoulder issues.

Good to hear on the wife. Who’s picking the restaurant?

Out of the office for a few vacation days? Or you working from home? I know about being at work until 10p. I myself haven’t left this week one night before 9 & worked all Thanksgiving holiday…

Here is my sad sad story. Please feel sorry for me.

No vacation, Thursdays are for marketing calls, however this time of year sucks. Nobody wants to hear anything until January. So I figured I put in 17 hour days Monday and Tuesday I am will just take the day and chill. Hell I am on call 365 anyway so I take it when I can get it. While I dont own my own business like some my boss the owner wants me to run it like I do. So I hear you man, I also hope to make partner someday with everything I do.

Wife decides restaurant, I decide desert. :slight_smile:

^Hope for your sakes the desert isn’t something on the menu.

Nope its make up sex time, so she gets the protein shake, I get the pie.

read thru a bunch of your log - great work. looks like im a bit more lopsided than you, my legs need a lot of work. jealous of your squatting. back is feeling strong though. are you using straps at all for your work set of dl? my grip just isnt strong enough to keep up.

is this five sets of 10 reps at 185?

^You got it.

DJ, nice work on the close grip w/the FG’s. 225 is a strong number. Do you think it’s helping more w/your chest or your tri’s?

No dont use straps. There have been some times when I am doing sets of 20 that I will use straps. But try to avoid it.

Actually both, I finish off with the 5 set of 10 to really kill the chest. But the close grip with the fat gripz which makes it a 2 inch bar really finishes the tri’s also.
