Bingley's Bumbling Along

[Agilic]

That 345 dl is 5 pounds ahead of me. That's an inspiration. I almost did 352.5 (160 kg) at the fall classic but almost only counts in horse shoes or something. 160 kg x 1 is my next goal.

Horseshoes and hand grenades.

You have probably said this already but at your age why are you not able to get more sleep? For that matter, how will you be able to make gains with such little sleep? In NJ there are SS coaches nearby. Maybe one of them can get you organized.

I see that you do or have worked with Adam. That's good. I also reread you commuting insanity. Have you thought about a change in lifestyle? Someday we are going to be dead and all of that pressure you are under now won't mean anything. Just a thought.

Work carson I get up at 3:40am to commute into Manhattan and I just can't get to bed before 10pm at the very earliest, usually more like 10:30. That's just life unfortunately, this whole "paying bills" thing lol. I certainly have made gains, but not to the level that I could have (or so I hope) but I'm ok with that, I'll do what I can do. We do have excellent SS coaches, you are correct, and I have had the privilege of working a couple of times with Adam Skillin to whom all credit for any gains I have made must be given. He's done great work with what little I have been able to give him.

Careful, I have a feeling Carson may be a bad influence on us!

dude is awesome.

Thanks gentlemen.

Dl is supposed to be 5 X 1 not 5 x 3. At 295 you are putting the fear of God in me. I have a few more weeks before I will get back to 340. You may catch me.

well if I'm Not Doing The Program as far as sleep goes why bother doing it as far as work sets either? lol

i was a little concerned about what might be in the tank when i got to the gym at 945 or so because i had gotten up at 445 and spent and hour and a half shoveling the 8" of Global Warming we got yesterday.

I was very pleasantly surprised. squats all felt good; 275 felt heavy but not outrageously so; the ohp i didn't put a lot into as i wanted to save some for the deads. very happy how 355 came up; it didn't fly but never really in doubt.

see how i feel tomorrow...

[slowmotion]

Nice work!

lol on the 8" of global warming.
I am really looking forward to when all the ice melts and I get a waterfront property!
