    Thanks Kyle. Dan, it's always good to know that better, stronger lifters than myself have some of the same struggles.

    Weighted Dips for 'Murrica: 125 x 6,6,5

    That was a great deadlift man. I loved that you didn't want to know what the current record was before you picked it! Heavy squats too the other day, you'll overtake me soon.

    Thanks dude, your help was integral. I don't think I'm approaching any of your numbers in the foreseeable future, but that doesn't mean I'm not trying!

    I may lift slightly more weight but I'm nowhere near an elite total haha. Don't sell yourself short!

    How did we get back on the subject of making fun of my power cleans? I thought we were making fun of my sub-satisfactory bodyweight/stature now.

    WTF, Gilchrest?!

    Back in town, all caught up on sleep, sunshine, and beer to keep me going for quite a while. Here's what happened:

    7/9/15: (Midway Fitness - Rehoboth Beach)
    Squat: 365 x 4 (failed a fifth. damn)
    Press: 140 x 5, 160 x 3, 175 x 1, 170 x 2, 160 x 2 x 2, 135 x 8
    Deadlift (in PPII's): 370 x 5, 420 x 3, 470 x 1

    7/11/15: Clubhouse "gym" at my dad's place
    Power Cleans: 165 x 3 x 5 (if the bar weight was actually 45#. Who knows?)
    CGBP: 185 x 8 x 3 (same caveat)
    Dumbbell silliness. Lots of high rep ridiculous stuff. Only went up to 50's.

    7/13/15: Back at Midway:
    Squat: 330 x 8 x 3 (8's still suck)
    Bench: 225 x 6,3,3,3,3,3
    Seated Cable Rows: "120" x 25 (120 what? Hell if I know. How can an otherwise legit gym have no straight chin-up bar anywhere?)

    Brought the old PPII's with me. I think I actually like them more than the Adipowers.

    Missed ya man. Vacation workouts are never great for me. At least you went and hit it hard!

    Only problem is I didn't step on a scale for a week, and this morning I'm 153.4 again. Damn. Gotta stock up on milk.
