Reminds me of a show, when some goof gets strapped down, to the back of a boat, and ‘fights’ with a giant fish of some sort ?!? The video below, is kinda like that…
How about something, you know, for the effort
How about a tip of the cap ? Nice effort, it way pay off in the not to distant future…
Thanks, channeling my inner Bill Murry, Caddy Shack moment
I know it will pay off, in all other lifts; upper body pushing power is always good. And it helps fill out my shirts too…

Not much BE last two weeks; OHP more often. I’ll take my 4lbs because, you know, we count every one!
After training, yet another recovery special: donuts, massage, napping…then more laundry:)
Donuts and a nap. It does not get any better than that.
So, 9 weeks out tomorrow; DL’s tonight, to see where I’m at. After that, it’s a big push to the Meet.
It’s been 2 weeks since I’ve pulled from the floor; I’ll see how that worked out for me later:)
10x80s Incline is stout work especially after the PR !!!
