Wednesday 6/21 - chopped firewood for 30 minutes. Smashed my right pinkie pretty good trying to kill a giant ant with a 6 lbs splitting wedge.
Cured some of my salmon to make gravlax. Here it is with cucumbers and mayonnaise/heavy cream dressing.
That looks really good. I sort of miss chopping wood. Of course it will be 95 here today, so not too much.
Hot here too, but my wood pile is in the shade.
Im here for the food pics
and the yuks.
training looks good.
are you still government employee?
Im the opposite of you - I can squat and pull something reasonable
but a 5x10 of 135 bench - Id go buy a lottery ticket
ok I can do it but I suck.

Captains of Crush
Sport = 8
Trainer = 6
.5 = 4 with right hand…4 like not closing but close with left hand
Captains of Crush are the gold standard. Similar to a job requiring daily hammer use. They improved my handshake, forearm size and reduced lifting straps’ need for lifting
< 405 weight.
However, I think Captains of Crush + having grandchildren + nonmanual labor job = risk of arthritic hands. My green metal Ivanko adjustable springs gripper rests under my office desk papers for infrequent use and I shamelessly use straps for deadlifts over 225.
Roger that. I am just now trying to incorporate them. Bought some a few months back.
I suffer from major hand pain off and on…always there, but sometimes much worse…was actually hoping/thinking working on my grip strength might help with my hands.

Might want to consult a hand specialist.
Been there…done that…basically told there’s nothing wrong with me…they were willing to do carpal tunnel surgery on me, but told me I didn’t have carpal tunnel syndrome…so…yeah…
Started with a orthopedic surgeon who sent me to the hand specialist…they did a bunch of tests involving like needles and electro charge stuff…didn’t find anything basically.
Thanks for the food porn. My wife has been sick and the kids hate what I make.
