Thanks fellas. Low back is wicked sore today.

I don't doubt it. My low back would have snapped before that much weight broke from the floor.

Lulz, yeah you did. Lots going on!

Lemme know what you think of the beers. Which have you had before?

Had Spotted Cow last night, split with my dad. I looked at the bottles, but I honestly can't remember any of them. My beer app tells me I have not logged anything but Spotted Cow, so I think they will all be New To Me.

Which app do you use? I'm want to get on that too.

Untappd. Up to 691 unique beers starting in 2012, it looks like. Which, shit, is like 140 unique beers per year. Then I think about poor Gilchrist drinking Schlitz every day, day in day out, for decades...

I just feel bad that he can't afford a shirt.

Finally failed a bench volume set. Felt a little weak today after a heavy-drinking vacation, so will probably just retry next time.

Had the GF out in the garage, ready and willing to lift with me. Tried to work on squats, and failed miserably. She can't hold the "bottom of the low bar squat, elbows pushing knees out" stretch for any period of time. She's flexible enough to get her ass literally to the ground, but as soon as she gets down to about 6 inches high, she drops down immediately all the way. Can she really be so weak that she can't get into that position? She's not frail or anything. I don't get it.
