dont mind at all-- honored actually
I joke about my age... I actually feel much better at 43 then I did in my 30s. I saw your log-- I used to smoke cigarettes too. So by the end of my 30s I would wake up coughing up little hard balls of phlegm and I would have chest pain. I quit about 5 years ago, So really I feel like I am 20 again and plan to be stronger at 50 than I have ever been.

Felt good today but not very impressed with my press. But, whatever, I know what to do. I am going to run trips until I stall and then re-set and get 5s. If it doesnt I will figure out a way to get in more volume. I am light weighed in at 214 this morning. I had my sister-in-law staying at my place for the last few days definitely interrupted my eating routine. Going down the shore this weekend. Things will be a little screwy but everything will be fine if I start eating again.

Deads
wu (hook grip)
320 x 5 (over/under grip)
ignorant stuff = for chest and arm pump
played around with the hook grip on deads. Not too bad. my training partner effed up his shoulder and we think it was from using the over under grip on deads. So he is trying out the hook grip and I am going along in solidarity.
Squat felt good. Nice and heavy. Immediate goal is 315 x 5 which will be a rep PR-- 2 weeks. Wanted to get my pump going so I did some incline db bench and some curlz.
Taking the family down the shore tomorrow... I wont be back till tuesday. There is a crossfit close to where I am staying I might try to train there on monday.
