Good job on the PR !

"You're failing", right after you make it through your sticking point. Kid clearly doesn't know what success looks like. Yeah, sure, not the prettiest, but you got it anyway. Good job.

Ha. I'll tell him this, the little heckler. And thanks!

Good job on the PR !

Thanks!

Thursday 16 August 2018:

Just back work:
Dumbbell pullovers (never done these before, basically LTEs with straight arms) - I forget what weights I did. 75? 85? Really yanks on your lats.
Chin-grip pulldowns - 135 x 10 x 3 or something like that

(then, a busy weekend)

Monday 20 August 2018:

Press 5's: 167 x 5, 167 x 2 then immediately 155 x 3, 155 x 5, 155 x 3

Should've picked a more conservative weight, but last time 165x5x3 went easy no problem.

I did some of the ancillary work from bench day and then I did today's back day. Let's see if I remember what the heck I did.

are you doing yourself (making joke)?

Haha, no. I am following an Andy Baker program. It's his "power-building" program. I think it's working out well: some girl at work told me "hey you look smaller, buffer, good job"

(I'm losing weight slowly too)
