The front squats with the cambered bar sway all over the place. I almost pitched forward into the rack on a rep.

Jumped around on the tires today. One tire I have set up so it’s high side is 33’’ and the other tires high side 27’’. I can almost get up on the 33’’. I can get my feet on it but just can’t stand up. Maybe if I didn’t weigh 280 lbs I could get up there. Also, I did a bunch of walking lunges with just BW.

This took an energy drink and several YouTube lifting videos to get me off the couch. I was so comfortable watching the Red Sox and snoozing.

Nice pressing.

In Alabama or the Philippines? (Chose the Philippines).

NFTR’s next door neighbor.

Sorry hel320, Alabama and Philippines have more humidity.

Biker, not only do I have some fun exercise toys. I hang out around the pool and deck without my shirt on once in awhile too.

Harry, i can only imagine what an incredible experience it would be to visit the Philippines with your family. Nice weather, good food…

Alabama, about 150m to the river, Philippines, about 100m to the beach, ocean, docks. Helps beat the humidity.

You got a pool? Jeez.

Sounds like paradise Harry.

Biker, it’s just an above ground but it does the trick.

I hurt my lower back the last squat workout. So I’ve been hobbling around and eating. I had to benched with my feet up today so I went with a lower weight for reps.

Awe! Hope you feel better soon!

Lower back injuries go hand in hand with an Over 40 thread.

Steve- that’s too bad about the back again…its time to sit poolside.I’ll bring the beer!!

Chickenlittle, thank you for the well wishes. I was walking fully upright like a real human today.
Crippler, damn aching body parts keep the training interesting. Back squats may be off my lifting card for awhile. Gonna try zercher squats, front squats and trap bar deadlifts as main lifts.
Paul, I imagine you have some very tasty craft beer. It would be my pleasure to drink it with you.

8/20

  1. Deadlift off 4’’ blocks 135,185,225,275,315,365x3 405x10
  2. Kroc rows 160x15,3
  3. Zercher holds 225x2x25 seconds

I shouldn’t have pulled tonight but 135 felt good then 185 felt good, etc. The exercise that really makes my back ache is heavy back squats. It has to be a spine compression thing.
