Just focused Matty. I only get pissed when I deadlift. :)[/quote]
Ha, I’m the same way. For me I think it’s because there is less to think about with DL. My brain is too occupied with mental checklists for bench and squat. If I get too pissed I can’t concentrate.
Millies were very clean.

That’s exactly it. DL my only real thought is lower back tight and rip the head off the lion.
Thanks Git. I want my lifts to be at least close to right, no bro lifts.
Thanks Dog. I’m trying.
That said this week has chewed me up and spit me out. Had nearly 60 hours in as of yesterday so I took the day off work, just mentally beat and not lifting. Can’t force myself to do anything but lay around.
Wife update. She’s back on the chemo and herceptin(sp). She had her follow up brain MRI yesterday and although she hasn’t talked to her Dr’s the nurses indicated the brain tumors have shrank. That should be a positive but she’s pretty upset because she isn’t being allowed to drive due to the chance of seizure. She hasn’t been able to drive herself anywhere since this started in July. She’s super independent so being suck at home is killing her. Over all she’s doing pretty good, no serious side effects and no real pain. She did finally shave her head, I think it was premature, though it was falling out fast.
Anyway I’m taking lazy ass to the grocery store and then home to be lazy, have a good weekend y’all.
That sounds like good news. Will she wear a wig or is she going with the Sinead O’Connor look?
D- OG and his clan are praying for your family brother! Now get your lazy ass up and lift some heavy shitttttttt!
Git- thanks. She has a wig made of her own hair but she hates it, it’s itchy and uncomfortable. She’s been buying a lot of hats.
OG- much apreciated.

Tried squatting to a 12" box again, still hurts my knee. Made sure to roll everything out real good prior and nothing was tight. Even took a fat grip and used it as a roller around my knee, this works extremely well BTW.
BBB squats- why do I do this to myself, freaking sucked! I’m sore already this morning.
Last night was great, all the trick or treaters and scaring teens. I wore my wifes radiation mask, which is pretty creepy, my EFS Free candy T, shorts and work boots. For a bit when my wife was handing out the candy, she was sitting on the porch with my son and I stood between the houses just in the shadows where I could be seen but not necessarily associated with them on the porch. Two little boys got brave and walked up to me, I remained perfectly still and they we asking each other, is it real? The did this for a good minute before I jumped at them, they both about shit themselves, awesome.
290*6 is solid work. Yeah, the high rep work after sucks.
That’s good to hear about the tumors shrinking. I don’t know anything about anything medical so I’m going to assume that shrinking is good. It’s gotta suck to not be able to drive herself but it’s for a short time in the grand scheme of things.
I’m pretty sure that costume would have scared anyone. It’s great that you bought that “free candy” t-shirt.
james
free candy shirt is awesome. I have the “weak don’t know squat” one.
oh yeah, good lifting too

Bless her heart, you’ve got my best wishes.
I’m also impressed by the challenge lifts, but this kind of swamps that.
Thinking of you.
So just left the brain Dr’s office and come to find out the nurses don’t know anything. The brain cancer is GONE!!! She is cleared to drive again and could not be any more thrilled. It’s been a great day already. This is the kind of news she needed, she’s been pretty down recently and having the freedom to do things is going to go a long way to her recovery.
Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers, she’s going to beat this damn thing!
Gone. WTF!!!
Dude, that is the best news!!!
That news is awesome buddy!
Huge smile here.
Great Great news. Congrats to you and your wife!
Fucking awesome…Im so happy for you guys…its time to celebrate…
Thanks guys, much apreciated.
For the record, this is just the cancer in her brain. She’s not out of the woods yet, she still has breast cancer that is spreed to her liver and bones but this is a huge step forward. Hopefully the rest of it responds as well as the brain did.
And yes Matty, time to celebrate, hopefully with a PR tonight and then maybe a nice dinner or something.
Swoley time!

Nothing special today. I did mess up and used the numbers for 5-3-1 week instead of the 3x3 weights. Oh well.
Shoulder kind of bothering me today. Now that wifey has stabilized a little I think it’s time for me to actually go to the ortho. Even if he wants to cut on me it’d be better than jack assing around with an off and on wing problems. Hell I still can’t do a damn push up without pain.
Off topic: Got all moved into a new office/cube at work. My group has been sitting in a damn call center for the last year+. A group of network engineers stuck in a freaking call center?!?! Not that we’re any better than anyone but imagine reading technical documents or understanding complex problems while there are 200 phones ringing and loud ass customer service calls going on all around. It’s awesome, my cube is like 8x10 and the only people in our area is us, we can cuss and BS without bothering or being bothered by other groups. Happy dday 
Great news on the BT and wife May more good news keep coming!!!
Also way to stick with your training, the release has been positive for you.
Great news, Dday! Celebrate!
Best news Ever.
glad to here it.
