    There's no better place on here than this log for learning what it takes to command some shit to grow:

    Thanks, Will. Always nice to see you drop in here.

    Heh, it's ok. CT Fletcher does seem to be somewhat of a caricature sometimes, it can get old and be overdone etc...but I still find it entertaining sometimes.

    I am gonna rock the topknot next time I pr a deadlift now.
    Thanks man. Injuries definitely suck. Trying to take it slow with the knee, keep doing the things that made/are making it better, and not start doing too much too soon. Top knot'll add 12.762% to your pulls, brah.

I think we are all fortunate to be able to interact with so many great people. Looking forward to seeing you continue to heal up and get back to hitting some big numbers across the board.
    Thanks Doc. In case it wasn't extremely obvious, you are most certainly a large part of what I was talking about. Not only your knowledge and wisdom about rehab, which I have benefitted from numerous times, but also the ability to pour large buckets of ice water over your head on the famed Wolf Manor Porch.

    Great news, Wolf! Those inverted pushups and closer grip benching of the past few weeks might have helped with your BP and contributing to the triceps work/fatigue, too.

    Hey Wolf, awesome set of 5 on the heavy pulls, and a great write-up. I also want the thank you for being a great source of encouragement to me for the past few years! Your perseverance through all the setbacks is truly admirable.

    If you it makes you feel better, anytime I get injured, thanks to you, I can always say, "At least I'm not injured as much as Michael Wolf!"

    lol, j/k....too soon?

    Might be. My suspicion for various reasons is that it's the chins, but could be.

    Ha, thanks Steve. You wouldn't be the first to use that line...but hopefully the last!

    Didn't feel great today. Didn't get much sleep last night, and what I got wasn't great quality. A bit concerned that I'm fighting off a cold or something, but will just have to wait and see.

    Snatch Grip DL
    405x3 (beltless, by mistake) @ 6.5
    425x3 (w/ belt) @ 7
    425x3 (beltless, by mistake again) @ 7
    Notes: This is when I suspected something was up. Pulls felt off, and I kept getting hazy headed and forgetting to put on my belt. Also, straps really dug in today.

    Clean Pull
    315x2, 335x2, 355x2x2
    Notes: Felt slow off the floor, and sluggish overall. No pop. Not sure how I got onto my toes and shrugged, but I did.

    BB Row
    225x5, 245x5, 265x5
    Notes: Still hate these.

    Conditioning
    At first, turf was busy so I did 20/1:40 on the rower. But I felt like I couldn't catch the highest gear, no matter what I did. Did 4, I think, @ 1:45, 1:27.7, 1:23.3, 1:24.7. Then turf opened up and did 5 round trips on the sled with high handles down and low handles back each time @ 70lbs. Felt like 150 lbs. No gas left.

    I have a very important question: How long have you been growing out your hair?

    An excellent question. Almost exactly a year. I don't know the precise date, but I got my last haircut not long before leaving for Houston last February 16. This famous masterpiece of modern filmmaking was taken roughly two weeks after my last haircut:

    As my old Italian childhood barber used to tell me: "You got lotsa hair and it's lotsa thick!"

    My barber never said that. Ever.
