Thursday fun and games

Dick came by today. Working him a little more each time to get him stronger and in better shape.

Warm up

SS bar pin squats Leslie let me use her bar she has on 7th. 12" - 15" stroke?
5 x bar
5 x 135
5 x 225
3 x 315
3 x 405
3 x 495
All #'s figured on a 45# bar. The SS bar is somewhere between 55-65# so all weights are 10# -20# higher.

The reps weren't so bad. Starting the SS bar off of the bar with no stretch reflex was kinda ugly though.

3 x 275
8 x 135
Boy has it been a long time for these. The SS bar really puts a change in your leverage. The set @ 275 was really pathetic. Makes on yearn for the good old days... I will get back up there however I don't know if I will ever be able to use a straight bar again. Shoulders are waaaay to tight these days. Funny though, abs feel pretty worked with these.

Straight bar shrugs.
8 x 225
8 x 315
8 x 365
8 x 405
8 x 455
315 on up I used my ever faithful Spud Straps. My right grip is still very suspect and probably will always lag some. Ah the prices one pays for playing hard in one's youth...

That was it. Had fun abusing Dick. Actually I was fairly easy because he needs to stay encouraged to get stronger and get in better shape.

I am amazed at how rampant relativity and similar thought is running through our society. Holy crap it's tough to get anybody to call a spade a spade any more. If you do, you will probably get sued for hate speech. What ever that is. Sometimes truth hurts but that in and of itself is not personal nor hateful. What happened to the first amendmant?

Tough times for people with black and white world views. Give yourself time, you will make people mad.

Gotta go,

Maranatha

God Bless!
