Sun., 9/07. 224.6#. So., I was marveling at the aisle of useless fitness stuff at the local Target, when I found one of those big neoprene torso wrap things. Marketed for sweating off your belly fat, I assume. I see it as a nice under-belt back warmer.
OHP: 45x..., 95x8, 135x5, 162.5x2 - bar was unbalanced with a twoie on one side and a fiver on the other. I didn't care. 182.5 x 3,3,4 - hit a good groove there finally. 145x8,8,8.
Cable Row: 195x5,5,5,5,10.
the neoprene corset comes off, and I fall out of it like a slow-cooked boneless leg roast.
Side Delts: 15x12,12,12.
tamales, scrambled eggs, and chicken wings. and watermelon.
back actually feels really good. I can easily see this developing into me jamming myself into a scuba suit one size too small. Next stops will be compression shorts and something for the shoulders.
the neoprene corset is under the shirt today. somehow, it makes the belt even harder to prong. and the sweat. oh, the sweat...
nuts & cheese - excuse me, I should be more specific: pistachios and Jarlsberg (adjusts monocle).
venison stew, watermelon.

The brightside: found a nearby place that serves biscuits and gravy worth going back for.

Sun., 9/22. 221.6#. Sunday funday here. All the serious lifters taking up all the squat racks, and then there's us. Since there's no spring collars left, everything goes up by 5 pounds from the screw collars.

Thurs., 9/26. Went to a show. Ended up walking 7 miles through downtown Milwaukee. Mostly fun, not too exciting. Wife got a blister. Ate a lot of good things, and got to try a glass of Willet Family. ooooo-weee! Right up there with Blanton's.
Sat., 9/28. rode bikes. ate snaks & drank cider. Started American Horror Story Season 8.
