About the Press: I lifted 128 three years ago. I must have picked ups some bad habits since then. I will be focusing upon the press for the next...

A second Monday in a row in which I failed. Maybe I should call every day I lift "Friday". Squat: 70 x 5 (pause); 160 x 3; 190 x 1; 205 x 3;...

Looks like fun.

Flouting the mask nazi's seems like fun. I must try it. I like your attitude vis a vis flu shots, et al.

Squat: 70 x 5(paused); 160 x 3; 190 x 1; 200 x 3; 175 x 5 Bench: 45 x 5; 95 x 5; 117.5 x 5 x 2 Dead: 135 x 3; 225 x 2; 315 x 1; 322.5 x 1; 267.5 x...

Can I have serious doubts about this pandemic and even about the effectiveness of the shots and still have got them, and still wear a mask. I'm not...

Few people are.

On sore wrists after OHP: Make sure wrists aren't bent. They aren't made to carry that weight. Point your index finders at each other on the bar,...

Wanted to share two new options available for those interested in learning more about Starting Strength Boston. First, you can book a free 15 minute...

Sully, Believe it or not I actually miss the prowler. I guess I am losing my mind. It will be good when we again have more time so we can do it.

People swear by Addidas at Greysteel. We got our Do Wins from Rogue when they were still making them. In either case that slight wedge is helpful.

I hope those vaccine actually work. Good work on your deadlift. I'm glad that you kept the weight balanced. Christ is Risen!!

The greatest part of Easter is not simply that the new "First Man" arose and by death He conquer death but that humankind itself rose with Him. He...

I find that pausing for a nanno second helps me. I was letting it drop for a couple of inches and lost some strength. I thought I was bouncing it...

We all hope that. Neither my wife or I had any significant reaction to either shot. A little swelling which went down quickly. We had a glorious...

The medicine must wait until Monday. Sully has a serious reaction to his second vaccination. What a world.

The gym/clinic will reopen on Friday, April 2. Hallelujah!

Why do you think you missed on the squats for 3/20? Those are impressive presses. I stand in awe of anyone who can do power cleans. Good work. ...

Shoot. Sully has come in contact with someone who tested positive for Covid so he is in voluntary quarantine. We won't be back in the gym until...

Sully just let us know that he has been exposed to someone with covid and will be in quarantine for the next 3 sessions. I must go to some gym and...

I have done 150k x 5 but that was a couple of years ago. If I ever reach 200 k x 1 I will be shocked. 184 k is my goal which I may or may not reach...

That's why you need to consult a coach. Coach Jonathon Sullivan specializes in work with older adults. Why not buy a few session with him online...

When you type, e.g., 1 x 3 do you mean one lift, then rest, then another, rest...etc.? Or do you mean one set of 3 lifts?

Sometimes I'm overcome with silliness.

The more one tries to rest between heavy lifts the more you burn up energy. It really does not work. One exhale and one big inhale that fills your...

Folks had generously offered to help move the weights, racks, etc. when they arrived at the gym. Haven’t forgotten about you. We’re still working on...

Keep coming. I suspect you will catch me before I hit 405 (184 kg.).

You and Bergstrom are good fun. Regarding the grip. Before the pandemic I could hook grip up through 315. Then I would have to do reverse grip. ...

If you still find a sense of fulfillment in your job and you have the wits and energy to do it...good for you. I think I could have lasted a few more...

Sully might be able to coach you deads into perfection...well, we are always learning...but into near perfection. Contact him and see. Most...
