So, happy birthday??
I saw a guy last week with the WORST plug job. They must have been spaced 1/2" apart. Horrible.
Happy birthday.
Do what I did when I was 40. Get fired from my job, spend months looking for something, move halfway across the country for another job, then discover the new job is only good for 3 weeks.
Nix the hair plugs , sports car and hookers
Put those fusicha briefs and prota onn order and tear shit up
Happy birthday an d good luck on your goals
Happy Birthday…I think you need a vacation in Iowa!!
Happy Birthday!
Buy yourself a pair or purple posing trunks.

Happy Belated!
Perhaps a PR?
Wow, a lot has gone on since I last visited. I like the newfound fire! What are your plans for attaining that new goal?
And happy birthday! I vote for a new prowler or power rack instead of car or plugs…

Happy Birthday.
This is the coolest site ever. I’m honored to get the support. Really.
You see, the biggest barrier for me is not the diet, the training, the prep, the posing… my wife is not behind me. For a lot of years, she worked very ahrd, very actively, to forceme to quit. Obviously there’s a lot of backstory behind that, and I don’t wanna go into it all here. Suffice ti to say after a lot of work on both our parts we worked through most of the underlying crap and our relationship is much better for it. But my dedication to the lifestyle continues to be a sticky wicket. At least weve progressed to the point of her thinking of my bodybuilding hobby as “that goofy thing my weird husband does”. But there isn’t any active support. Quite frankly I’m kinda scared to bring it up.
That’s why all the unqualified “go kick ass” from all y’all meant so much. I’ll figure out a way to pay it forward!
And also thanks for the birthday wishes. I got some cool swag, and then we went out for dinner. I kinda went wild with the garbage food: big slice of cake, and a bunch of fresh gourmet chocolate chip cookies. My GI system expressed its annoyance with severe gas pains for several hours. Man oh man! When a person’s system gets used to not having junk, you realize just what this crap does to you!
JUST THE FACTS MA’AM
Saturday - SQ & legs
Squat - 5x185, 5x205, 6x225 (low, low, low)
A1 Leg extensions - 9x180, 9x180, 8x180, 8x180
A2 Hamstring curls - 8x140, 8x140, 7x140, 7x140

Oof. Done, and done. The final superset is an absolute killer when your legs are already tired. I spent a long time talking myself into the next set.
Time to recover from yesterday’s food binge. What I eat may be unexciting but holy hell, but the damage the garbage food does to person is psychotic.
3x10 squats! at what must be close to body weight…
Ugh. I gotta kick it up a notch, ok, flight of stairs…
Belated happy birthday…
Well that went swimmingly.
My first discussion with my wife was choppy. Here is a direct, completely non-exaggerated quote:
“I will never, ever support you doing a show. I think it’s disgusting and if you do it, it will be without me. I hate all of the people involved too.”
Clearly some more discussion is in order.
That did go well.
Skip the show. Just take steroids and get freaky. That’ll show her.
Seriously, sorry dude.
Good grief. Whatever happened to “love and support, for better or for worse . . .”?
Wow… really harse. … … … …
Go for it bro, you only get to spin the wheel once and this is obviously a big part of who you are. Win it. Belated Happy Birthday.

Have you tried hitting her?
(Not my joke. Someone in GAL always puts it when there’s an issue involving a woman and it makes me laugh, even though I know that I shouldn’t).
Hey happy belated b-day friend!
Im sorry the convo didnt go well, so now since you will now have the onset of andro-pause you should start crying until she relents.
or as FB stated try hitting her! LOL, funny stuff Brett
I’ll address the wife issue later; things are improving a bit.

Step away from the leg press! I hate those machines. They really hurt my back. And I’ve found no carryover to squats. Front squats will build up your quads, CK.
