Yeoow I am sore!!
Went swimming at an aqautic park with family = loads of fun.
Played paintball today with some friends = pretty cool.
Playing catch with my 22 month old = PRICELESS! We played for about 2 hours. He kept dragging me back to the yard from the grill wanting to throw the ball.

Yeah mostly, still holding alot of water due to the Anti-biotics though.
Training is finding its groove now.
Since they didn’t kill ya, they are obviously making you stronger.
Embrace it.
Kidding of course. I hate YJ’s equally.
Great story about having a catch. Those are definitely great times.

I am not sure what a slingshot is, but it must resemble either a crane or a block and tackle. Nice work on the deload.
re your new log title “Chasing the Dragon…”
Did the “water turn to cherry wine”?
kinda deload?
you use’n one of those cheater shirts??
Pete would be so proud.
speaking of bee stings, i was stung by a hornet a few times in the head when i was 12. i went into anaphylactic shock and my throat swelled shut before they could get me to the hospital. luckily i was revived before there was (too) much brain damage. i spent the next 5 years getting bee venom shots to build up my immunity. i had to go every two weeks to get a shot in both shoulders. i would then have to sit in the waiting room for thirty minutes to see if i had a reaction. at this time i started lifting weights. i remember the nurse complaining that she couldn’t get the needles through my shoulder muscle. looking back i remember that she didn’t replace the needle after sticking it through the top of the bee venom vial each time.
ironically i didn’t get stung again until i was in my twenties. i have no reaction at all now to bee stings.
slingshot looks like fun, we have a couple of guys using them. kinda like doing a reverse band bench, but you don’t have to drag a crappy bench into a rack.
Quick update
Seated military 205x3 5 sets to the front.
rack pulls from top of knee just belt 675x1 .
andersen partial sqaut (way above parralel) 635x1 just belt.
Had fun all week going after big lifts.
