Wrestlemania 29 weekend was one of the most enjoyable experiences of my adult life. 2 of my 5 brothers and I got to meet and/or get up close to several of the WWE Superstars & Legends at the fan...

The last week has been the wildest week I've ever had at my job. If you can imagine your mailman/woman coming onto your porch and making your steps creak, ringing your doorbell for certified letters,...

I'm going conventional from the floor (in shoes) for the next 2 DL sessions. Since my competition stance is sumo (in DL slippers), there's a built-in deficit to conventional pulls for me.

Got the deadlifts done, as well as the rest of my training. But other than that and work, not much else lately. Overtime has been the best ($$$) and worst (no time) I've seen in a long time for the...

I wanted to do this on Monday, but I was still delivering mail at 8pm, and didn't get home until 5 minutes to 9:00. So it waited until last night, after I only worked a 10 hour day. :)

1. Bench...

Weighed in this morning. Scale read 208.8. Down 0.8 lb from last Sunday morning. In spite of working 7 of the last 8 days at 10+ hours per day, I didn't expect to lose any weight. Less than a...

Before the training recaps, here is the video of the main sets from the last 4-session wave of training. For these top sets, I was shooting for 5 reps at my working weight. YouTube blocked the...

Yes sir. I'll be a referee that day. Squat deep & wait for that "press" command! :)


I walked in the YMCA with less than an hour before they closed. I figured it would be enough time to...

Not much sleep last night, and don't see much coming in the next 2-3 days. But I had an easier-than-normal day at work, so that helped a lot.

1. Bench Press - Est. max = 295. Goal = 255 x 5....

This sounds like what I've been hearing. I'll have to see it for myself sometime, hopefully sooner than later.


A little pressed for time tonight. Wife and I have been lifting together again,...

Can't buddy. I'll be in NYC/NJ for Wrestlemania 29. Wish it was another date, because I've been hearing good things about Savannah for a few years now from people who moved there from here. What...

Once again, the Arnold Sports Festival was exciting, fast-paced and left me and my wife ready to get back next year. Saw some huge lifts at the raw and geared powerlifting events, and the visit from...

1st 2 days at the Arnold have been a blast! Project: Get Free Stuff is in full effect, and there were some monster lifts in the Raw Challenge today. Plus Arnold showed up, spoke some encouraging...

Thank you! And my wife says hi.

Didn't mean to go MIA as I'm really enjoying this forum again. The last 2 weeks have been a little hectic. I'm applying for another job at work, and the process is...

The good old flu. Nothing like a nice strain of influenza to knock you on your ass for a while. In my case, that meant about a week off of work (after delivering mail with it for 2-3 days) and 11...

To catch up, here's the video I posted with the clips of the first few pressing (overhead & bench) sessions of 2013. In this video, there are raw benches at 260 x 4, weighted chins at 50 lbs x 5,...

"You look smaller. Have you lost weight?"

When the gym attendant, a young lady no less, says this to you, it can be devastating. But she didn't lie, and neither did the scale. In the gym, fully...

There hasn't been much to report. I'd been thinking of making this a deload week, and it looks like work decided that for me. In the last 2 days, I've worked 23.5 hours. That sucks for any job,...

Another rushed session. Did this in less than an hour, with much shorter rest periods than I would normally take.

I usually have my daughter with me on Tuesdays and Thursdays. She has a karate class. If I get there before her class starts, I have a 90 minute to 2 hour window to train. On days like today, I...
