You’re a laborer, right? What sort of labor do you do?[/quote]
Yeah, at the moment I’m working full time construction, which is pretty ironic (I guess?) for someone who trains so hard and does such physically demanding shit. It’s not a permanent job, but it’s bringing in alot of money for me at the moment, and it definitely tests my mettle although it can be a bitch sometimes.
Anyway, it’s a smaller company, but we do pretty big jobs; asphalt, concrete, grading, etc. the whole nine. [/quote]
I wouldn’t mind that especially if the pay is nice. Saving for school?[/quote]
ANSWER MEEEEE!!! (Nolan Batman voice)[/quote]
Yeah, essentially. I’m kind of apprehensive about it atm, for petty reasons. My long term goal is to open up a strength and conditioning gym. I’m just afraid of being swamped with work and school and having to train as well as never having been planning on going to school ever. So it’s a little weird currently, but yeah, in a way I am indeed saving for school brofatherdude.

11/9/13
Bench Press
45x10,10,10
135x10
225x8
275x5
325x1 pretty easy, have 350 in me, but that’s it
275x8 PR? 9 would have been questionable. all time best is 315x6
225x10 pretty cool
Out of Rack 1 arm BB press
45x1
115x1 R, 1 L no belt or wrist wraps
wraps on right hand
135x1 ridiculously easy press, but the core integrity is starting to take a hit
150x1 tough
165x1 punched it easily, belt on here lol
185x0 punched it and on the rebend of the jerk, my tricep said NOP.
135x8 all right arm. I did the first 3 without reracking it, but I was afraid to break my forearm because as I dropped it back to my chest to do another rep, it really slammed hard on my forearm so following 3rd rep, I reracked before the next rep.
135x6 with left, at first it was really hard for my left cause of weirdness, but I just gripped it further one way to have it rest more to my right so it’s not pulling me down the other way lol.
It’s rather funny how I recover from fails on this lift. I actually let it fall mid air at the top and catch it with both hands on my chest and drop it to waist and hang clean it and rerack lol.
Yeah, turned out to be one of THOSE days…
Good work. Happy birthday.

Surprisingly enough, I hardly have a sports backround! I can attribute some of my squatting and overhead strength to constantly lifting heavy shit as a child for the sake of lifting heavy shit. I was fascinated by WSM, and by middle school I was always trying to lift my younger brothers friends over my head when we’d wrestle and shit.
I love you, Vinny.
