The All American PPV Event of the Summer: Woody-5 and howimliving vs Communism

[Woody-5]

Good **** Jordan dude, huge 175 repout on that overhead and nice tricep bashing with that close grip action! Always good to follow up that press work with some pull downs to balance it out.
Good chat indeed, I'll be thinking about that long weekend suggestion when the dust settles!

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

Thanks fella, dat new bench is hnnngggg
I was pretty shocked that she actually flipped the rack

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

That was just the spark, there's a lot deeper issues there

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

Game was awesome, wood do again/10

Solid benching this morning woodbrah

Thanks my man! Love that new bench

MLK Day = Woody blowing it up in the gym day
thats the way to grind it out big man.
Hope you had a great weekend.

Thanks chef Bob dude

Great! Just trying to train consistently!

Got my new bench which i tried out this morning. Fukking SOLID mate, I love it

awesome, put in some good work on it too! love new toys

my gym after hurricane angry wife went through:

Damn dude, yeah I know how those weeks go, it's always when they're already mad at you when the boys invite you out or something that is the cherry on top - good luck getting it all straightened out

could be epic. the last time i was left in vegas unsupervised i got sack punched by a manlet mr. T-gonna be hard to top that one

There is so much win there....I hope to get another trip to Vegas with the boys this year, but I don't think I'll be on the same level.

Lucky manlet.

[jeezyreezy]

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

There's a few within an hour of here but only one that operates at night

[wishiwasdivin]

Excellent looking training woodman.

[jeezyreezy]

Nice quick leg session there woodbrah

[The Solution]

[Woody-5]

Thanks jeezy! Quads are feeling a little numb tonight- they'll be sore in the morning!

Not the best performance, but considering the past weeks stresses and the lighter volume day, I'll take it

[Juggernaut0]

I'll still take 1 rep of 310 right now, thanks. lol

How difficult are the BB Rows at that weight? Just curious. Do you feel like you've benefitted more from less than 10 reps, higher intensity work on the back? Assuming 225-255 rows are actually difficult for you.

[jeezyreezy]

Quick weekend session, nicely done woodman

[jjeane]

Woody hope the weekend brought some peace to your house! Nice couple of sessions last week. That bench press!

Jordan, I lol'ed at the manlet picture. Only you I swear!

I like higher rep for the back, but once a week I like going heavier with lower reps on the rows

Quick weekend session, nicely done woodman

Thanks mah man!

Woody hope the weekend brought some peace to your house! Nice couple of sessions last week. That bench press!

Jordan, I lol'ed at the manlet picture. Only you I swear!

Dedication right there! Or lots of caffeine! No, I'm kidding. You are dedicated as fuk Woody!!

[Woody-5]

Haha there is some coffee involved!
I'm going to be adding some small cardio sessions in
I did a warmup on the treadmill before lifting and then a bit after the weights today. I plan on adding some low intensity work on the mill on my off days. Something to get the blood flowing and the heart rate up a bit!

[HunterMC6]

Nice tickets man! That must have been awesome Blackhawks are a great team yet again this season. Glad to see the lifting is going strong hope everything works out well for you on the home front. You liking Chicago so far?

[jeezyreezy]

Way to beast up that early Monday session woodman

[The Solution]

Coffee? how can one live without coffee
we are americans.

[nads786]

Are you doing pendaly rows or barbell rows standing? Your benching is really strong for volume!

[wishiwasdivin]

That 240x8 is some strong bb rowing woodman, excellent work

[pastorpritch]

Mirin' ops strength and gainz

[jshaw5]

Solid benching as always wood man. I'd take 310 on an off day with another rep in the tank, and that 265x5x5 volume is crazy.

Its lucky charms but chocolate.
Its epic.

I was very hesitant to try it out. I'm not a huge fan of Lucky Charms. I love marshmallow cereals, but I still prefer a cereal that could stand on its own without the marshmallows, and the Lucky Charms cereal pieces are sub par at best. I was pleasantly surprised by the Chocolate Lucky Charms though, the cereal pieces are surprisingly good.
