Haven’t been in here in a while. The guy who owns the gym I use was a competitive bodybuilder, still build like a damn bull, around mid-fortys. Couple a weeks ago said he’d be out for a while, had to have his pacemaker replaced, tweaked, or some such. Think I asked a couple of dumb questions, then he outlifted me, like always.
290x13 on the bench, nice.

@hel thanks man.

Sqaut day.

Btw: I had my headphones on really loud and as I was coming up out of the hole on the sqauts I heard myself fart. :wink: LOL! Did I get some looks from the couple doing their stoopid “swiss-ball-routine” . HAHAHA!!

Hey FISCHER…that’s some serious training there you’re doin’, nice job. Where 'bout’s in Illinois you from? I essentially grew up in Illinois, spent Jr. high and High School as a city kid, then retreated to Carbondale for college. Nice Log.

Congrats Fischer… I’d give my right arm to have mine at 4 again. I’d do so many damn things different.

Good luck with preschool!

My boy starts the 27th, he just turned three, but he’s in a “2’s class” because he missed the cutoff by 4 days. Its only one day a week, but he’s pretty excited.

“A lot of plates for a lot of reps” sounds like a lot of work. I used to do a lot of single leg press, but I have gotten away from it. I may have to work it back in.

It is time to get serious. I have the greenlight from my all my Docs to really amp up my training… So after 3.5 yrs of getting back to where I was and holding everything else steady.
