Maybe it was one of those days woody? I know your cutting now and it may have to do with that
Stay mentally focused!

[howimliving]

it has it's moments. i got really busy with work and quit skiing, biking and hiking for about 2 weeks and it got sh*tty again; i started doing those things again and it's better. i hope your wife has a full recovery

played any golf yet?

Good word this could be scary.

please send us red meat, pork and cheese to show your support. merica!

Nice work mr HIL, glad the knee is feeling better. impressive biking while hauling the little ones!

thanks man. i picked up a fat tire bike at the beginning of the year and it's quickly becoming my favorite; pedals fast, climbs like a goat and thrashes through dirt, snow, sand, etc. hella fun

good on you for picking up the slack at work. hope things turn out well for everyone involved

you micro micro loading on squats now? son i am impressed

mirin dat incline weight and volume (rows too)

conditioning work

seated row
250 meter-warm up
500 meter-sprint
250 meter-cool down
~12 minute total time

treadmill
20 minute walk

notes-
boring but necessary. BW is getting stubborn and hovering between 212-216 but diet and training are back on track. shoulders tomorrow

[Woody-5]

great conditioning work! I need to get a bike one of these years.

hoping things turn out ok for my buddy's son. 5 years old and just got diagnosed with epilepsy last fall. They're having a hard time finding meds to control the seizures and Monday was a bad one. I can't imagine what they're going through as parents

Maybe it was one of those days woody? I know your cutting now and it may have to do with that
Stay mentally focused!

mostly just this:

So was it pain in the knee last week or just feeling stiffer? Just keeping mobile is important and going full range on the smiths is more important than the weight shifted, so good work in getting into the gym for a full leg sesh

Strong 1000m rows today. How does the rowing affect the knee?

45 x 10

Beautiful form on those squats Woody. I love the way you approach the bar and just get into it .... I waste a load of time. You got deep and kept up a great tempo and your body position didn't waver. I could see in your face that you were putting in an effort.. eyeballs were ready to pop
Looking lean as well.
