TGR's Modified PowerBuilding v2.0

No gym this morning. Up late talking to my wife about troubles with her oldest (the one who was in the accident last week). He is on a path to destruction.

Maybe I'll get something in tonight.
 
Oh man! Nothing worse to make you worry than a child doing that! Prayers for you and wife!
 
Sorry to hear Thomas. Praying as well
 
HOpe things work out for him. I have been through this (still am)... all we can do is hope that they start making better choices. At that age hard to tell them what to do without simply losing them.

Sh1t, bro. Hope you sort it out.
 
Thank you everyone for the support.

No gym tonight. Mom just called and some guy broke her water pipe, duct taped it and left. Going to go fix that.

I got in 5# of erythritol, 2# powdered erythritol, and 5# almond flour today. Was wanting to make a treat tonight but that'll have to wait.
 
Man, I feel for you brotha. I get scared for when my kids are bigger and all the challenges that come with that. Best of luck

Chores, chores, chores. And food.

The young one (14) has signs of similar behaviors his older brother had. I think I told you guys what he did earlier this summer. Because of that he has a court ordered curfew at 8pm until he meets all their requirements. Had a huge talk about it yesterday because he wanted to go to a HS football game. What do you know, he breaks curfew and goes to a friend house anyway with the excuse of "I wasn't thinking about it". We don't buy it.

You should've went to the Strongman competition today! It was a platinum plus show (1st place becomes a pro) so a lot of the best amateurs in the nation were out there.

I only knew because I had a friend competing.


If you joined the Starting Strongman Facebook group you might have seen something about it. I'm not sure if it was posted much on there, but if it's posted anywhere that's where it will be.

My friend is doing the first World's Strongest Woman there today - she's 0.2 points away currently from 1st in Lightweight - I think she will win it tomorrow. She has no weak events and she's so damn good at stones. We'll see!

Notes:

I think I'm going to take an extended time off bench until my shoulder heals. DB press didn't feel that bad.

Was going to do some catching up on here this morning but the AM server was down.

Been off my diet the last few days. Poor willpower.

Ever considered opening a bakery for athletes? Your stuff looks amazing!

Thank you for the compliment.

I don't think I'm there yet. I'm entertaining the idea of a food truck that caters to athletes. Charging for meat by the ounce, sides by the gram with macro specific combos. If I were to ever do that I'd offer sweets as well.
 
Not a bad idea to let that shoulder heAl up man. A food truck is a great idea man. In college I wanted to open up a gym / smoothie bar. With snacks and healthy food options. Now just if I could come up with 100-200k and get it rolling lol.
 
I mean you don't need to bench to get stronger/build muscle, just find a press you can work with. Db, floor, overhead. Whatever you can make work to progress will be perfect!

I did DB work only in my 20's for this same reason. If I remember correctly, it took 6-8 months last time to heal.

I just want a 600 bench. Is that so much to ask?
 
Going to get lots of hurricane/TS rain tonight. Hopefully we have power tomorrow so I can go to the gym. No work for 4-5 days.

I also tried to bake tonight but didn't get what I wanted.
 
Prayers and well wishes to you and family. This is a major hurricane for you guys!

Thank you. At least it crosses land before it hits us. We have about an hour before first hit:

Best of luck man. I hope you and your family stay safe.
 
Have as good of a plan as you can, get whatever you need in order...and relax and try to enjoy your time off best you can! God provides.
 
I've been praying for you guys! Hope you're all safe!
 
We got very little rain and some increased wind. May get another band in a couple hours but nothing serious.

Wanted to go to the gym but my wife is all "don't want to waste the free day". Which means she's making me a chore list.

In other news, my mom is in her 70's and still working because she still has a mortgage. Fortunately most of her work is online, but it's getting harder for her to get around. We decided to withdraw some money from our 401 and pay off her mortgage. That'll happen today. She's going to be so happy.

Tell your wife to shut it.

But good on you, man. Doing something awesome for my parents is a long term goal of mine.
 
Aww wow!! That's wonderful! What a gift, to be able to give back like that!!
