Nobody told me !
It was actually pretty good.
Iām a huge fan of New Orleans food. I get my coffee from Cafe Du Monde. Amazon ships in containers of 6. Cans show up in perfect condition every time. After 2 big mugs in the morning Iām ready to face the world.

Daughter and son inlawāentrenched uptown New Orleaniansārecommend āFrench Truck Coffeeā. Perhaps google it. Mediocre sous chef began this company by selling this stuff uptown from a French truck. I understand top restaurants in the city presently serve it.
Our speed is Community Coffee Keurig cups from Costco.
Interesting story. 7 locations. 6in La. ,1 in Tennessee.
They do ship, Iāll talk to the mrs. Messing with my morning brew does sound a little risky.
The food truck scene has its own following. Good stories.
Keep training strong.

nice volumeā¦ that amount of volume on those would put me in the Hospital at this point.
It took a couple of years to get back to it.
Itās not as much as it sounds.
I never do more than 5 reps to a set.
Warm up , couple sets of 2s3s. 5s between sets of bench. Couple more sets setting up the circuit.
I donāt add any weight, variety of grips, usually 30+ are with a neutral grip, a little easier to do and on my shoulders.
Stay warm , if you got hit with the storm, and enjoy the concert!!
Always liked Gene Simmons and KISS.

Yeah currently working the chins back in figured it will take me several months to even start getting the feel back for them.

Bulldog, clee78ās likely has a āget out of hospital freeā card.
Clee78, your circuit after benching, regardless of weights, remains impressive. Sure youāre 60?

The circuits are fun , not too taxing and a little bit of everything.

If Iām going to push into the 400s this winter the walk outs and holds will help me.
Iām feeling much better, just missed getting sick this week.

Iāve used holds and partials to rapidly increase a lift in the past as well. They definitely work. I was considering them just a few days ago, in fact.
Nice squatting.

I wholeheartedly endorse pushing into the 400s for squats and deadlifts. Youāre still young enough.

Thatās the plan. Still have plenty of winter to train indoors.
