Girl...take care! I know mine is moving in the direction of my lungs. I think I coughed up a lung at paddling practice yesterday.

From last nights leg session!

Now THAT is a squat!!!! I wept openly as you went all the way to parallel--you just don't see that enough.

I do have a question about spotting squats. If the person is getting into trouble coming up, where are you helping them?

Nice Bro, Keep up the great work

Thanks Wayne!

Brian nice work on those pulls and even nicer about knowing you need to work on form.

I've bene trying to bring in more pulls squats and BBrows but lower back sometimes doesnt agree.

On those rack pulls for anyone that knows their form is locked down, are we supp to be breaking at hips first? so we would push butt back first sitting back first?

THanks TJ. I am trying... have to get back to heavy lifting...

[swindled]

Ugh..sick again, flu number 2 in less than a month. Kids being in daycare suck, they are nothing but germ monsters.

[Remidog]

Time to train the chest....

[WandyDiane]

Back from the dr. She says ANOTHER 4 weeks before I can do stuff! In 2 weeks I can go to the gym and be easy IF it doesn't hurt. I am going insane!!

The pain has returned! lol Seriously tho, it has. Stopped at Wal-Mart on the way back and that about killed me to walk thru there. Maybe she is right

At least I can still eat right. I have lost 10lbs in the last 6 weeks. And it's been over 2 weeks, so I think I can manage a few more. Maybe. I am hoping I can. Fingers crossed.

[ms_mac]

So my 4 yr old son is sitting beside me right now eating fresh hot buttered popcorn while watching his favorite cartoon before bed....the smell is driving me INSANE!!! must not cave...must not cave.....have a contest to win....have a contest to win......

There's nothing wrong with popcorn. Fit it into your calories/macros

nice pull ups.. lol oh and why you dropping your back?

Still trying to figure it out. I'm pushing my gut out instead of tightening my core. I do fine with warm ups & lighter weight but once I get to working sets, I focus more on getting low enough & forget to tighten up

Do you know this guy? Because that sounds like the beginning to some stories I saw on Court TV. We do not want you ending up on a milk carton.

[Remidog]

Triple drop sets for chest ouch!!!

Yeah, I'm with this scenario, or something akin to Girls Gone Wild. I'm figuring either way, you're a smart enough cookie to b*tch slap anyone who's motives are less than straight up.

Ugh..sick again, flu number 2 in less than a month. Kids being in daycare suck, they are nothing but germ monsters.

SUCKS!!!! When my school-age kids were bringing home way too much junk, I started giving them wipes for their hands straight out of the pick-up line. They'd wash their hands the minute they walked in the door, and then I'd do a clorox wipe on every door knob, light fixture, door jamb, anything. And I'd wash my hand a million times a day. Get well soon.

Changing up your diet is the best thing ever! Good on you that you'll have that down by the time you can seriously lift again!

It's okay, eat the popcorn, I'll win instead. Think of this as my gift to you. lol

[scobo]

Why must I love food SSSSSOOOOO much?!?!?!!??!?!

[Ceejay84]

Hmm.. Kinda sucks only using my phone at the moment so I can't see them videos.. Grr.. Meh .. It's ok.

I have never done the CrossFit thing but i think it would be a good test and i'm going for it.

Try doing Front Squats. It makes you sit back and keep the form just from the way you have to hold the bar.

Old Man Strength FTW!

Seriously though, those are great looking squats.

Yo Dawg, Brofist!

Thanks Pat!

Adam Richman is my hero....I'd love to chow down at some of the spots he visits. But I'm on a different mission right now...shredsville....and I don't know how it happened but I weighed in at 212 this morning. And just about 10 days ago my body was jumping all around the 216 mark. Not complaining by any means...

I love the episodes where he eats really spicy foods. He is usually sweating profusely, crying and beet red haha. (kinda like me when i run)

The episode where he ate during Hell Night and had that pasta with the ghost chili was hilarious.
