    Many thanks brother. And, it damn sure is. Tough all around. There's this book. Somewhere towards the end, it says things will be gettin' worse. But, in the end, we know who wins. Some comfort in that somewhere. But it's the ride along the way that really tries you. So far though, all is as good as can be.

    Was thinking of you too my friend. Hope all has been well. We just lost one of our brothers from different mothers over in the City of Miami FD. Rafael Garcia. 28 years old. A kid really by comparison. Newly married. Wife currently expecting. Died a couple of days after it was discovered he had a brain tumor..complications of some kind relating to that tumor. A goddamn shame. If it ain't one thing, it's another.

    Stay safe my friend. Always in my prayers.

    Things are crazy. Point blank and period. But training continues as per usual. Figured I'd finally make some time to come post in here today for a few reasons. First, a matter of remembrance. It was on this day that the Battle of Iwo Jima formally ended. OOH-RAH. Some folks may think that it was all fine and dandy after the US flag raising on Mt. Suribachi. Not so. That flag raising took place on 23 Feb. 1945 and represented that just about 1/3 of Iwo was under US control. The battle, which began on 19 Feb. 1945, went on for over another month of absolute hell, ending on this day, 26 March. 1945. After all was said and done, about 6,000 Marines died taking that island. Almost all of the 22,000 some-odd Japanese who were defending it died. Anyway, the formal end of this battle...that's worth remembering in my book. Semper Fi.

    And speaking of remembering, I was remembering my brother MHL here today while in my dungeon when a WTF Moment (Registered, Trademark MHL Enterprises, LLC.) took place. I was cheating the usual SLDL sets that I usually do and was, instead, doing rack pulls (racked below the knee). I had been doing a few sets of these and had just plated up 585#...still light, still pretty early in my set. This dungeon employee sneaks up next to me and kinda whispers to me that the gym manager (who didn't bother to come over himself but sent this lackey) would appreciate it if I didn't do rack pulls racked, but did them from the floor.


    You mean just do deadlifts then?

    No, just do those from the floor.

    Yeah, ok. That's called a deadlift.

    No, it's the same.

    No, it's not.

    Well, see, the thing is, the (saftey) bars are bending. (makes a herky-jerky motion like I am bending the fcuking 4-inch thick solid bars into the shape of a U)

    Well, see, the thing is, they aren't bending. But, I tell you what, I'll rotate the bars so they bend back the other way. How's that? Am I bending the Oly bars too? I can rotate those too you know.

    Deer stare....

    Tell the manager if he has anything he wants to tell me, I'll be here.

    Not a further word was said.

    Seriously people?

    Sigh.

    Late to the party as usual! Sorry to hear about Rafael, condolences to his family. Our time here is short, but shorter for some than others. You are right about the book as well, things are really starting to spin up. Times are difficult and will likely get more challenging, but we will do our best here knowing the outcome is assured.

    Oh, and one more thing, sub eight minute mile runs IN sand WITH a #100 vest......Epic!

    I have my own weighted vest, but I call it my ass. Nice work on the run. That simply looks brutal.

    It's been a while and my absence here is just a testament to how crazy things have been. All safe, all is generally good (save for the loss of an unusually high number of family members these past few months), and, outside of that, just bad times for LEO brethren.

    Training in the dungeon continues, progress and poundage continue to advance, and, though I mentioned it before, yes, a PL comp still looms on the horizon. At some point.

    Will continue to train as hard and heavy as always and will, as time allows, return to logging sessions here. Those who sent PMs, thank you. Hope all has been well brothers/sisters.
