Thanks Jj! Good way to kickstart the weekend!

You should take up bocce, it's much easier on the knees for someone of your advanced age. Welcome back fukcer.


Sick bench PR wood man. Mirin that OHP too, I don't think I've ever hit 175 for more than a single.

Thanks fella! Curious what I could do on OHP if I was fresh. That's tough after bench

Congrats on the PR Woody. You made the first two reps look pretty easy.

Thanks homie!
I think I might order my new bench this weekend. It'll be 100x more stable than my current adjustable one, plus it's wider
Should be good for a few extra pounds on the top end

[Sparta11]

Geez Woody, you made that look easy. Your strength is exploding right now.

[The Solution]

must be all that cereal fueling the gains!

[jeezyreezy]

Huge set of bicep ez curls!

New bench is going to be delivered today. It's a tank! Much more stable than my adjustable one. It's a few inches shorter (my adjustable one is taller than comp height) and the pad is wider as well.

HIL:
Beautiful week of work brotha! Mirin that big 165 OHP repout!
Deads and bench looking strong. How do the front Squats feel on the knee vs back squats?
Cycling in the snow had to be a gas! Much deserved refeed

Geez Woody, you made that look easy. Your strength is exploding right now.

Thanks my man! Winter bulk has been great for strength gains!

must be all that cereal fueling the gains!

Lucky charms were BOGO last week so....

Huge set of bicep ez curls!



You're going to hit that anytime now

impressive pressing and that last rowing set is big; building a nice squat shelf across the back

congrats on the new bench; rogue is top shelf

repout was good but exhausting. i was shaky and gassed the rest of the session

thanks. front squats seem to be less irritating than back squats. i think the focus on quads instead of hams makes a big difference and my FS was so sh*tty before i have lots of room for improvement. same with safety bar squats

great conditioning work on the bike but it's amazing how well that bike works in the snow. anything groomed is just like riding dirt and up to ~3 inches of powder is still relatively easy with the tires aired down to 5 psi

[jeezyreezy]

Impressive work over the weekend HIL. You have hit the slopes recently?

New bench = new gainz woodman. Get after it

[jshaw5]

Sick bench volume as usual wood man. Also, that bench sounds sweet as hell, looks real solid.

Choc Lucky Charms >> Lucky Charms

Haven't had s'morez cereal in a long time. IMO, that's the only cereal that even comes close to the monster cereals. How is Chocolate Lucky Charms, is it comparable to Count Chocula?

[fittofattofit]

HIL ... OHPs, deads and benching are looking really good Jordan
Riding the bikes in the snow looks like it would be fun ..... I could see some pretty hairy skids happening though

Woody ... it'll be nice to see how you feel wth that new bench. You're benching looks so solid anyway but it can't hurt to have an even better platform to press from. Good prep session for the heavy work on Friday

[koweanguy]

Awesome 335 x 8 Deads @HIL!!

And strong consistency on your BB Rows @Woody!!

[howimliving]

@woody-nice pics from the game last night and congrats on the win

Impressive work over the weekend HIL. You have hit the slopes recently?

thanks jeezy. i got out last wednesday night for some hot laps and hopefully again this evening. i missed this last weekend due to our oldest daughters first basketball game. i've got a couple weekend rooster trips planned over the next few weeks to get me over that 30 day mark this season

Haha

are you planning on making it out here for your annual this year?

I was planning for Jackson for a week and then Telluride (conferences of course although I might get a bit of skiing in ) but I'm facing lawyers at 20 paces in February so I'm skipping Jackson this year. Jackson still feels like my home mountain so I'm planning on it again in 2017. Meanwhile I'm in Vail next week

[THErunCMD]

welcome back HIL!

Beast mode on the bench Woodster, really mirin

Do you have a few hills around you to choose from?

[Woody-5]

Thanks everyone!

Some chaps I know through work invited me out Tuesday evening. They hauled me into Chicago for some kickass seats at the Blackhawks game. It was an amazing time, so much fun.

Holy sh!t.

Like. Holy. Sh!t.

Wow.

I wouldn't even know what to say or do at that point ... How'd you react?

Oh, and nice solid benching, bub

[DominationStation]

She did that just because you went to a hockey game with your coworkers?

[jjeane]

She trashed your gym? Loss for words. Sorry.
Hope you had fun at the game though. Tell her to read The Four Agreements.

[jeezyreezy]

Solid benching this morning woodbrah

[The Solution]

MLK Day = Woody blowing it up in the gym day

Hope you had a great weekend.

[howimliving]

I'm skipping Jackson this year. Jackson still feels like my home mountain so I'm planning on it again in 2017.

you're breaking my heart

welcome back HIL!

thanks man. how are things?

Do you have a few hills around you to choose from?

there is a small one that is about 20 minutes away that is good for hitting up nights after work or taking the kids. Grand Targhee and Jackson Hole Mountain Resort are nearby also and is the best reason to live here. srs
