I'm here all week folks, and please don't forget to tip these wonderful waitresses!

So is your Mr Bingley a reference to Pride and Prejudice? I actually happen to know a Reverend Collins. But he's a good guy.

I love it when what used to be a far-off goal becomes a warmup weight. PR this week with an asterisk because when I set it a year ago I actually got 6 reps on the first set. Next week I have PRs to either set or tie on every lift.

Yes, it is. That's pretty neat, a Rev. Collins!

Officially completed rehab from last summer when I tweaked my back on rep 5 at this weight. Hope to keep the 5's going all the way to 4 plates.

Fixed.
