You'll get that with no problem at all.

Looks as if you're settling in to your basement workouts quite nicely. It will give you the chance to get creative, especially if there's no room for more equipment.

Happy anniversary!

Thanks Athi. I got to 185# x 17 earlier this spring, but then switched routines.

Happy anniversary Will!

Thanks Penney.

We had a great anniversary and yesterday was a fantastic day.

50 degrees when I woke up. I went out to my hunting lease and worked my rear end off and actually accomplished quite a bit. Then I came home and settled in to flip between Kentucky vs Louisville football and Reds vs Cardinals baseball. "We" won both.

Asleep before 10 PM.

Today is church and a family (Shelia's) get together/cookout. Tomorrow more work on my lease and grilling T-bones here. Oh, and back day. Back to work Tuesday.

Nice leg work Brutha! Happy Anniversary!!!

When does hunting season start? I think elk season here starts in a week or so.

Thanks.

Bow season for deer opened yesterday. But, I usually don't go til later after it cools down. We also still have some deer meat in the freezer. I am working hard on that though.

I am starting to have second thoughts about not getting out there with my bow NOW. This was taken 2 days ago.

[IronIc]

I love venison but don't think I could shoot a deer ... they are too pretty

Have a great holiday, Will!

Keep workin on them legs looks good Will. When your squats go up your deads should follow

[New Evolution]

Thanks about the pics. I really enjoy getting to see what is out there without being there all the time.

35 min LI treadmill this morning. Pull day today. I am starting a new routine today....pull, push, legs. Now all I have to do is figure out what exercises I will be doing.

Today will also be the last day in the gym for awhile. Our one yr membership expires and Shelia is just not getting to go much. So I'll just lift in the basement with her for awhile.

You do what you gotta do.

^^^^This. Looks like you're still doing great with your lifts in your basement.

Thanks Al. I have done very little BB benching the last couple of years. It will be nice to get back to a solid 200# for reps.


Shelia and I celebrate our 22nd anniversary today. The Commonwealth of Ky is giving me the day off to enjoy.

They are also giving every state employee the day off...........unpaid.

Legs this morning, out to eat and a movie this evening.

Happy Anniversary bro!!



Thanks for sharing the pics. The deers look cute.

Great weather here too, Will.

Just keep workin' 'em; you'll get there.

SUPER SET

That's a very good pairup--works both sides of the knee in unique ways.



We've been seeing more deer in our neighborhood in the early evening this last several days. We live about a half- mile from a power line high-line right of way, and the deer use it for a pathway into the area. There are a lot of fruit trees around here.

[alkell]

Good work Will, what's your plan to get to the 185 x 20

Thanks. I'm taking it easy on deads & back for a little bit.

LOL, that cool weather didn't last long.

Good work Will, what's your plan to get to the 185 x 20

Just keep adding a rep as I can. Once I get accustomed to more high rep stuff, I will push the first set as hard as possible.

Happy anniversary!

Thanks Tiffany.


Whew, I have been busy. I have really worked hard on my hunting lease during any spare time that I have had. I have not worked out this week, other than busting my rear mowing, cutting trees, etc. etc. I'll just call it a "deload" week and get back at it next week. I've even lost 2 #'s this week eating whatever I wanted.

I will be out of town til Sat. working, so hope to catch up with everyone Sunday.

[drooks10]

Have fun while you are out of town, bro! Hit the weights hard next week!

[Bronzebird]

Hi Will, Good stuff happening in here! Congrats on the Aniversary, workouts, and tail pics. Good luck on that trophy buck! My trail cam has got some doe, raccoon, ect. I will wait for the pre-rut and hope to get some pics to post of a buck.

Thanks Bronze. We will be taking 5 or 6 six kids on a youth hunt in a month. Our regular season starts in 2 months. I may bowhunt some before depending on the weather.


I have really enjoyed my time off from lifting. I got plenty of work finished and ate like a king (hog). I will get back at it tomorrow and will need everyone to make sure that I do. It enjoyed having those extra couple of hours during the day that I usually reserve for lifting.

I went to some local MMA fights last nights. Some good fights, some very bad. I can't believe some of those guys actually got into the ring.

I'll try to catch up with everyone this morning befoe church.

[Athena]

Hey, Will,

Sounds like the time away from lifting has been good for you -- lost a coupla pounds and worked hard in other areas (i.e., the yard!).

I used to work with a guy who was involved in a multi-church organization that went out the first week of every hunting season. They would take what they killed and have the meat prepared and then donated to various homeless shelters. I had a lot of respect for that. If you're going to live off what you kill, or use it to help others stay alive, great; if you're doing it because you were drunk or bored and just wanted to hang a head on your wall...then...come a little closer and I'll get YOUR head and hang it on my wall.


Looking forward to your workouts this week -- can't wait to see what the rest has done for you!!
