Yeah this was the difference between 7-8 hours travel if we fly (and 7 is really pushing margins) vs a 9.5 hour drive plus any stops. Plus we can start the drive whenever it’s convenient to us...
Thats an awesome game plan and her comp is just going to keep your fire lit for yours too.
Its funny how midwest states be like that. I recall my old FIL choosing to drive to mandan from out here...
Thanks everyone! I’m really proud of all her hard work & dedication. It was an awesome performance, plus we had a really great trip. It’s always great to be with so many other lifters & see old...
yeah for sure. I mentioned before how I often feel like the little guy in the dungeon (what I call the actual weight room at my tacoma gym) and then 9 times out of 10 when I look in the mirror...
I think being our own worst critic comes with the territory as seasoned lifters. And a lot of it comes from standards and goals we set, and we know what we’re capable of, especially when you know...
Well I think I am accurately depicting it but we have to keep a person's personal standards in mind when things like this are discussed. Just yesterday I was laughing and telling the office...
considering your 1st place stage presentation not too long ago, if you're as out of shape as you claim this is probably the optimal time for me to hang with you 😂 😂 😂 😂 i'll take any edge I...
MMMMMM Taco Tuesday!!!
WooHoo, lets do it. Heck by January I will hopefully be able to train a lot harder, and hopefully will not be so well... uhm... round.
well coincidentally we just cancelled our Jan sunny vacation plans. Plane tickets that were $2200 first class 18 months ago are $4800 economy this year (wtf) so we're going to sideline that budget...

The Gymreapers ones continue to work well for me. Obviously haven't put years of wear and tear on them yet, but can't complain about how they've held up over the past 4-6 months or however long...
man isn't that funny? I wasn't able to squat Tuesday cause work/life but I'm sorta glad cause that back of the knee/hamstring strain was pretty sore. luckily weds went great! stairs were miserable...
Man this year has been crazy with people having knee issues. Smont had posted in my log “is this the broken knee support group” because of how many of us are battling it. Truthfully though, this...
game changer! really makes me realize how much everything is connected too. When I have squatted sans knee sleeves travelling or something, I notice more stiffness in non knee areas like the...
Had another decent little session last night. My knee is really being a bitch... just a PIA to work around right now. My daughter told me she was going to get me knee sleeves for Father's Day, so...
Thanks! My motivation right now is functional movement, and doing something to improve my situation multiple times a week. It can be calisthenics, weights, gym machines, GPP, cardio, or just going...
Love to read the training sessions coming back in routinely, charting your way forward chasing something again.
It’s really not a goal or destination, but the process. Sweating, moving, working...
Thanks, it does seem to be something that catches the whole body, and makes things pretty simple.
I am in Dallas for work until tomorrow, but got in a decent session last night.
Yesterday's...
