am BW 243
About a month ago, I started a sugar binge with 4lbs of peanut m&m's over 3 days. Just starting to regain control.

S1: Tough. Considered lowering wt for S2. Took video instead.
S2: Feeling of "barely" started on R1. Video showed wonky bar path (curved toward shoulders, then up)
S3: Much better bar path, but a 5 second grind on R5.
S4&5: Felt like hell. Video showed cruise control easy.
Had some doubts through warm-ups and, specifically, after S1. But I channelled Oddball and he said, "Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful the bar and weights are? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?"
Rock 'n' Roll
Frank Marino: Juggernaut
Another one of those "how did I miss this guy?" The first track, Strange Dreams, sounds vaguely familiar. Played a little "air bass" between sets!
If you like album oriented rock (with a touch of blues and shredding) of the late '70's through early '80s, start with the above album and work back. If you are a fan of Hendrix, start with the first Mahogany Rush (Frank's band) album and work forward.

After two weeks of seated press going so well, I thought 135.5x5x3 ought to be in the cards. Nope.
Left elbow and wrist still not right.

It sucks when the cobbled together floor causes the bar to roll away during the set.

Warren Zevon: Excitable Boy
Tracks 2, 3 & 4 Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner, Excitable Boy, Werewolves of London. Excellent macabre sequence. And later, Lawyers, Guns and Money.

Lawyers Guns and Money " the shit has hit the fan".
I don't know if you like the Dead but they do a good cover of Werewolves of London.
