FatButWeak, as others have said, it is to work the jerk without having to worry about cleaning it first, or worrying about having to rack it on already tired shoulders, or having to worry about...

Oh. I did not know that. If I did, I wouldn't have asked. I was genuinely confused as to whether she was the same Tamara or someone else. I apologize if that is a delicate subject.

They are made...

I didn't do any actual dedicated training this week, but I figure I'd log what I did.

Wednesday:

Nothing. I had a 30 hour day thanks to work. I felt like I got run over by a truck.

Just build some of these. ;-)

And I've got a stupid question........didn't you have a different last name before? Or are these two SS coaches names Tamara from Asheville, NC?

I didn't have $1,000 for Rogue jerk boxes or $700 for Pendlay/MDUSA jerk boxes so I came up with my own design and built them today.

They cost me $85 in wood and screws, and $25 for the...

Yes, it is perfectly legal to open the car door. It was not for the purpose of searching, it was for the purpose of concluding the investigation he was conducting. The driver has an obligation under...

For that price I'd jump on it. They may not be the best bumpers, but that's a steal. I've got cheap no-name bumpers and they've lasted 2 years with a ton of drops. And I paid more than $250.

Saturday, combo day

It was a long hard terrible day. At least for training. I got 3 hours sleep, 20 hours ago, was on my feet all day and outside. I was tired and my lower back was killing me...

I know, it's an irrational fear. I am slowly getting over it.



That's what I'm hoping for.

I got this bar from F4thpathway about 6 weeks ago (thanks again) and have finally used it enough that I think I can adequately write a review about it. I know there are a lot of bar reviews out there...

You're correct, I am nothing special. I've never claimed I was. You would also be correct that I am weak, but unlike you I am willing to put my numbers out there for others to see.

What are your...

"Yellowmamba" and trolls like him really bring this place down. Every time they get banned they come back with a new name, but it's the same ole trolling.

Spencer Morman chose to stay at...

I was in the middle of drinking a glass of water with creatine in it when I read your title. I almost choked to death. The good new is the creatine that came shooting out of my nose cleared all the...

Tuesday, snatch day

I felt pretty good going into this. I was slightly sore from yesterday but I was all fired up and ready to go. The results were good.


Warm up:
Stretching

Thanks for stopping in Ryan.

It's good to see people meeting their goals and setting PRs.



I still haven't met any of my goals but I am finally making progress again. I pulled an easy 415 deadlift this week. I'm finally...

Thursday/Friday combo day, 1:15am workout

Why is it 45 degrees in my garage in May? This is miserable, instead if sweating, I'm wrapped in sweats!!!
To make the matter worse, I just got back from...

Ya who would ever go into a small school in a small town that you've never heard of and open fire on children? I'm sure it could never happen in some small town in Oregon, or say Connecticut...........
