Nice push presses. So you were doing them from the back of the neck?
I want to be like the guy you chatted with. Hope I don’t see him in my age bracket.
Maschy- yes a big busy day with little man today
O_b_s I do like the push press- but they are taxing
thanks OP- I was doing them from the front
from the ‘clean’ rack position
the tip I got was from an article here by Glen Pendlay
and he gave it as a tip on the push press- to kind of shrug the shoulders up a bit higher
the part about the PP is on page two- he can explain it better then I can
as for PL dude at the gym I am guessing he is some where around 35-40
maybe younger ? hard to tell
He said been competing for a few years he had a USPL shirt on from 2007
he had just competed 2 or 3 weeks ago
did ok- bench 365? pull something like 638 squat 572?
this is all from our little conversation I know what the pull was- but not sure if these where attempts or made lifts
this was Raw
tomorrow’s job went away, yay?
so I will train and get a head start on 7 fishes by putting some Bacala up to soak
we are not doing a full on Seven fishes - maybe 4 or 5
think I am front squatting tommorrow
My cutie magnet is on delay…
seven fishes, are you talking xmas eve? We do the fish, seafood bash, so much food its crazy.
I liked watching your snatch pulls, you definitely have that dialed in!
FS tomorrow, fun fun
new log!!! great timing for the new year too.
little man is officially bethrothed to cookie-face 
solid pulling and I like the fresh hair.
Up- yes christmas eve
last year I made bacala and a HUGE paella

Is it wrong to tell the aunt who picked a fight with a daughter ( at my house)
to play nice
or leave.
or to tell the people who try to give your kid a drum set - that they can set it up in their living room
and he can visit.
ahhh. holidays.

You do wonder if people are thinking.
I once gave my niece’s daughter a jump rope. I told her I didn’t want to give a present which came in a thousand pieces or made noise. She said “THANK YOU!!!”
Matty- short people families are always silly
Cav- jump ropes are kind of noisy… just saying

How’s the neck coping with the back squats?
FB-
Its ok thanks
I used a low bar set up that seems to work
I didnt venture into anything too heavy.
5 reps at a modest load might work if I cycle back squats maybe 1 or 2x a month
Happy almost new year Kevin. 3x5@135 Z press is impressive! Good stuff.
