A bit of an audible called for this workout... told my 7 year old we'd get out squirrel/rabbit hunting early before the sun came up. I thought I could squeeze in a...

Happy Thanksgiving to you all!

Incline Bench - 145 - 6, 7, 4 -- trying to work with a wider grip here as my forearms are NOT perpendicular to the bar when the bar is touching my chest.
DB Rows -...

Inspirational man, well done -- now for 1100, 1200... :D

Thanks for the feedback Yoel, that vid was super helpful. It's really tricky but I think the pushing hips forward or in line with my feet helps me stay forward and more upright instead of sitting...

Any more thoughts?

I hear the trib fishing up there is sick... would definitely take your friend up on that. Fly fishing is nowhere near as intimidating as it seems and in a lot of ways is a bit simpler than spin...

Thank you for the feedback. Referring to squats for both comments? Or was the back rounding for SLDL?

Two links are in the text attachment, since I can’t post links yet.

I like the sound of this... if you don't mind sharing, what was the rate like? Was it hourly, per meeting, one-time fee for the entire review? I'd like to do something like this very soon... 33 and I...

I know a few people who loathe technology but like being physically active... if he is open to and wanting the guidance of a plan from his son, I say go for it! Even if he doesn't come register here,...
