TYMR Geezer hopes to be worthy of your guidance

I doubt it but I do not know. Maybe you could ask David Abdemoulaie.

A question I keep forgetting to ask: What does "TYMR" stand for, in the log title?

[Cheesepuff]

TYMR = Thank You Mark Rippetoe

It was in slightly more common usage when I started. I haven't seen in much since then.

Mike Meet 4/27/2019 - Google Photos

[SeanThornton]

Way to go, Cheesepuff! And kudos on breaking the >44< year-old PR!!!!

[Cheesepuff]

Thanks Sean. The 300 lb Squat from 1975 is still out there, along with a 250 bench and 200 press. (which are in no immediate danger LOL)

It was a great time.
A lot of good people at the meet.
Special thanks to Carson for videoing my lifts.
The judges helped me with some "bad habits" I picked up, especially since I could then see it on the video.
I'm gonna use video more.... much more.
John Wicks (-spelling?) had an awesome meet, as did many others.

Well run event. Everyone was helpful. Well thought out. Real good facility. Look forward to the fall classic.

[carson]

Great job, Mike. I don't know what happened with that one video but glad I could get the other ones done properly. See you in the fall.

BTW: I'm taking up a collection to buy upgraded lighting for the game of Thrones set.

I figure 2x $8 clip on lights would have made Season 8 Episode 3 "almost watchable".

Worst "artistic choice" in low light work since the gold age of radio.

Also: *** Spoiler Alert ***
Winterfell caste is way too small for a battle of that scale.
So let's just send the whole Dothraki horde at once into the darkness to never return.
*** very cost effective for sure ***
Then let the Unsullied mostly die outside the castle walls.
*** what is a kind word for cheap? ***
Great stra-teeg-ary.
*** Honest movie trailers would have a blast with this episode ***
Clearly the worst episode in series.

Squat
45x5
185x5
205x5x3 90% due to soreness

Going with a lift or two a day. Trying to manage more consistency.
Will occasionally throw in a heavy single. felt like 315 would have been there on the dead.

4/30/2019 Tuesday

Press
45x5
95x3
115x1 Something bad happened. don't think I injured it further... plan to do the shoulder rehab.... had intended 3 sets of 5

Deadlift
135x5
185x3
245x3
245x2

That was supposed to be 245x5, but it wasn't there. So I did a second set to get the remaining 2

Plan for Wednesday is Shoulder rehab (like Rip's video) and lat pull downs.
