    I agree. sometimes it's like that and sometimes it all feels heavy. I'm just going to tryin to run a modified LP to get myself back up to comfortably handling 275-285. I close on myself old house next week and that will mean my weekends can go to building my own place. Much better for me, and a bit less driving. Hopefully I can work the training in so it fits with the building.

    Tonight when I got home, sandbag workout. 15 minute AMRAP 15 deadlifts, 12 cleans, 9 front squats 100M burden carriy. 80 lbs.

    This bar is the most important piece of equipment in my home gym. Its the only way I can squat without pain (arthritic shoulder). My others lifters use it as an assistance for and break from the low bar squat. PD is right about being built like a tank. It has been loaded to 400lbs with no problem. Let me mention the price range. Its about half (with shipping) of the more well known and more expensive SSB's. Thanks again PD!

    I'm impressed. I don't know that I'd have done the same.

    Work has been intense lately. Too many irons in the fire. Finally finished with all needed work for house I am selling and we close on it tomorrow. Getting ready to start work on my Barn and my house. Its a crazy life right now, but for the time being all my kids are ok. And my marriage seems good so I’ll take what I can get. I had been lifting only 2-3 times a month most of the year. Finally, i lost a lot of muscle mass in my legs and that got my attention. I feel like i just worked too damned hard getting stronger, to let it slide like that so I am trying to get under a bar twice a week.

    Saturday was almost 12 hours of loading a truck. I had 2 garages to empty out and load onto a 26 foot truck. Got everything into storage yesterday, then spent 5 hours on the farm chipping slash.
    Tonight
    SSB SQuat
    45x3x5
    95x5
    135x5
    185x5
    225x3
    255x3x5.
    skipped deadlifts since I moved so much stuff the last few days. My hip is killing me so I will probably decrease my weights for a bit just to let it stop hurting all the time. The aging body is just grand.

    For clarity, I mean decrease the amount squatted to 225 and kick up the reps to 8 . Something along those lines till my hip stops bitching at me.

    I like the camera angle that starts around 5:30. With that ridge in the background, you know you're in Virginia.
