    Oncelost77, you clearly are no longer lost! Wish I had done this with my son! Now waiting for the grandkids to get old enough. Robbie is going to be one strong HS athlete!

    Thank you. He likes the idea of lifting and getting strong, just not so much actually doing it. I think he likes CF more, since it is "busier!" But he gets up with me at 0600 during his summer break, so he must have some motivation.

    Looking to stay on SS until my next deployment, which is who knows when. If I can get us a steady 6 months and have his numbers up 50-100 on each lift, we will be pleased. We should be able to put about 25lbs on him pretty quick, also.

    He wanted to do the CF stuff. I have to keep him interested even though it isn't in the program. Every now and then shouldn't be a show stopper as long as I keep the milk flowing.

    Guess the 0730 workout was effective, he is still asleep at 1400. About a 2hr nap, I had to wake him to get him to drink his milk. This should be fun.

    Friday
    Dad 200
    Squat
    45x2x10
    95x5
    135x10
    185x2
    245x3x5 felt good, another 10lbs next week for sure.

    Press 120
    45x2x5
    65x5
    95x3
    115x1
    120 3x5

    Deadlift 315
    120x6
    135x8
    185x5
    235x3
    315x3 felt very heavy, guess because it is to me. Wanted 5 but no bueno. Will redo next week.

    Robbie 103
    Squat
    25x2x5
    45x4
    55x3
    55x1
    65x3x5
    Squats look good. Need to work on not sending knees out first and getting them way over toes.

    Press
    25x3x5
    35x3x5
    45x1 he wanted to see if he has it
    Working on confidence overhead. Will repeat this weight next week.

    Deadlift
    45x2x5
    55x5
    65x5
    75x5
    Keeps rolling his back. Does it right when que'd. Will reuse all the same weights next week, may go up 5lbs on squat. Seems to have that around 80% correct with Press similar. Don't like his Deadlift yet, it's at best around 65% functional.

    Gym was doing CF total, both of us were pretty sore but we went with it. More in the tank for both of us except Press but wanted some metrics to base everything.
