So I had to workout much later in the evening than I normally do last night, cuz I was cutting down a tree in my backyard after work. Anyway, it's about about 7:30 at night and my wife's MBA online class is starting, so she yells down to me in my basement/weight room, "Hey, my class is starting. Would you mind not clanging those weights around and grunting so loud?"

Been a bit since I checked in but when did the bolded start???
Oh and that beard!! Im jealous. I threaten my wife that Im going to grow one and I shave as soon as it gets itchy :p One day Ill get over the hump.

[/QUOTE]
LOL. I actually had to look back in my journal to figure out when I got that half rack for my home gym. Looks like my first set in ~15 years was back on July 2nd. Heaviest set was 185x5. Haha. Made some decent progress in 4 months I guess. I actually had some semi-respectable squat #'s back in my college football days. Like 4 sets of 315x10. Nothing crazy though. I decided to buy the rack and start doing squats again because I felt like my core strength was so inferior to my shoulders/chest/arms. My legs were still strong from keeping up my running over the years, but now my quads are growing and more importantly--my balance/buoyancy just walking around is much improved since starting again in July.
Always appreciate you stopping by my journal, John.......

Always been impressed with your press numbers, especially the BB OHP. 180x5 is pretty sick.
Your Vikings for real this year? Haven't caught a game yet, just scores, but I read that Teddy is playing pretty damn good.

Thanks, that lift really messes with my head because I did them seated-only for so long. Used to doing a lot more weight.

I hope so. NFC is pretty open this year. Bridgewater has played like 22 year old 2nd year QB's normally do--inconsistent. What I and other Vikings fans love about the guy though--is he can be having a bad game but then rise to the occasion when the game is on the line. Last week vs the Bears was a great example. He was dreadful for 3 quarters, then we scored on our last 3 possessions to win with a FG at the end. First win at Soldier Field since 2007 for us. I think he only has like 19 starts in his career thus far, but already has 7 4th quarter comebacks. I'm going to the game this weekend against the Rams. Hoping to get our first win vs an above .500 team.

Had to lol@ 200x3 OHP not being "crazy amount of weight" :rolleyes:. Unless you are push pressing that weight it's feking fantastic numbers and in the elite category. Now if you are push pressing it's light :p 200 is actually my 1rm for a strict OHP but I've push pressed 225 without much practice doing them. Very impressive!
Notice anything taking turmeric? I know it's supposed to help with inflammation and pills are far superior to the actual spice (which has to be combined with pepper for absorption). I've thought about adding it in but I'm pretty much anti supp besides vitD, fish oil and creatine.

I don't think it's a push press, brah. I'm gonna go for 205x3 in the next couple weeks and take a vid of it. I'm going slow and locking my arms out on every rep.

It's funny you ask that, I was just thinking about this yesterday and in the time I have been taking turmeric (~the last 6 months) I definitely feel way LESS inflammation in my bones, joints, muscles, body in general. And I'm even starting to lift heavier again now (regaining some strength I lost during my long cut) and my body still feels tremendously better than it used to back when I was much bigger/lifting heavy/not taking turmeric. I really do think it helps a lot. I just take two 500mg capsules of it (along with my fish oil gel cap and multivitamin) after lunch every day.
