Real strong with 35#s!Your a beast!!!
Damn! 465 deficit deads! Sweet! Gonna feel those later I betcha! You deserve a nice cold brewski for that session Hel.
And I dunno… I think if we throw some of those tassle thingies on your nipples, you would do ok as a pole dancer… lol!
Wow, hel, you never cease to amaze. I think that 600 might be in your future again, sooner rather than later.
I know at some point I will need to add the zerchers and deficit deadlifts if I ever want a decent deadlift. I avoid it though, cuz unlike you, I am a giant pussy.
Maybe I should be dancing on the pole?

No kidding. Sets an example for all of us to wish we could follow.
&!@#$!@^&you Bunny! Read this right before I went to the gym tonight. Trying to stretch and I can’t get that old Elvira movie out of my head. She comes out at the end with nothing on but tassels and gets them spinning.
(A great movie sadly overlooked by the Academy Awards.) Not the right frame of mind for weight lifting. I forgive you cause I now know what to call the 35# DLs.
MJ, don’t sell yourself short. You putting up some great numbers (not that I’ve forgiven you for the infamous glute/ham torture rack incident.)
Elaikases, lots of great examples on here. Everyone brings something special. But thanks.
Oh yeah, I did a work out tonight. Nothing to brag about. On the quest for the semi-perfect squat.

Got 2 more regular work outs to go. Tomorrow and early Tuesday morning. They operate on my thumb at 2 o’clock on Tuesday so I’ll have to see what I can do with it all bandaged up. Shouldn’t affect squatting at all. May even try some of the single arm stuff;cleans,deads, etc., if need be.
Asked the wife if she was going to nurse me back to health, again. Her reply, “it’s only your thumb”. “But I may be in intense pain and need constant attention!” “So you won’t be going to the gym?”
She doesn’t play fair.
Good workout, hel. Good luck ong the finger surgery as well. You are older and far wiser than I, but when does a wife EVER play fair?
My prayers for a speedy recovery hel.God Bless.
I got your back on the prayers.
what is a nader press?
OL
Good luck with the surgery. Maybe a good time for a week off. Recovery period.
My very best wishes on the surgery.
I like the 465x2 DL with 35’s!!! Awesome workout, hel!!! Hope all goes well with the finger; I’m sure it won’t really set you back much.
Good luck on the thumb surgery…
I had one on my left thumb
I tried to run it through a table saw…
needless to say both work and the gym were fun with a 6"turban on my thumb.
good luck heal fast and cool hang cleans.

mj, I mispelled it. Neider press. Old shotputters favorite. Basically a standing bench press.
No eating or drinking this morning. Let yawl know how it goes.
good luck hel… prayin’ for ya young fella.
My first venture into the world of civilian surgery was a bit of a surprize. I’d envisioned going in, putting my hand on the table, getting a local, having the procedure done and going home. No, had to go through the whole nine yards. Put on the gown, IV, wheeled to the operating room, some real good stuff to relax me, operation, recovery room. Happy pill after the operation.
Doc says everything went fine. Wife brought me home, and I was out til real early this morning. Woke up and did the Dagwood raid on the frig. I was hungry. No pain to speak of in the thumb but they gave me a RX just in case. Vital statistics:
BW: 233 (no food or water for 8 hours prior)
BP: 118/71
PULSE: 62
EKG: Heart’s working fine
Question of the day. With all the hot little nurses running around in skin tight scrubs why did I get 2 middle age old frumpy ones. My ego moment. “Well, we work out don’t we?” Do they teach medical people to talk in the plural? Figure on trying to do squats tomorrow morning. Think I’ll be able to bench, too. Not sure on pulling movements using both hands.
Cute bandage.
Hey Hel… thumbs up dude! (sorry… couldn’t resist)
Glad everything went well Hel… and they probably gave you the 2 frumpy nurses 'cuz you were drooling… keep you out of trouble lol!
You need to take a black marker and draw a little happy face on that sucker… or make it into a shark’s head, that’d be cool!
Careful liftin’ with that… once it starts throbbing (flush with blood) your probably gonna feel it.
