Nice work on the bench - maybe look into ordering a Fat Pad for your home setup so you can train without pain?

Also, let us know how the child sponsorship goes. You might be making a big difference for him.

I think it's overall bench height that cause the issues, so the fat pad would be worse. I need a new bench AND the fat pad.

The meeting went well. We have a bit in common with sports we like and because I like old school rap that helped open him up. I just filled out the mentorship application and proceeding forward. I'll keep everyone posted.
 
Hey I used bowtie in warm ups like you and it worked great, Donnie just said he leaves it on the whole time. Something to consider

Edit: meaning for bench
 
Good on ya Thomas... a few years ago i volunteered at a young offenders prison.. kinda like a big brother style thing. It is rewarding! And you will make a difference.

I may do that. I think I already notice not only a posture improvement but more awareness of how I stand. I think I'll get my wife one.

Hit my back hard Saturday and lots of accessory stuff. People has kept me busy and my cadet left for boot camp yesterday.
 
No ,Great Danes stomachs aren't in rib cage . When they eat and drink water they bloat . That's why you can't play with them after they eat . Stomach can flip .

Pup looked bloated. Is he full of worms maybe?

He's not as bloated today. Worms, maybe. Has an appointment this Saturday.

He has been eating and drinking a LOT. Took his puppy food away and gave him a little rice this afternoon in case his stomach was not taking to the new food well.

Welcome folks!
 
Bloat is very common in Danes . Delicate green giant/ slash lap dog is what they are . When then go to get spayed , you can have them attach stomach to abs and won't flip . ... Yes late ... I have 5 year old Great Dane
 
Wow, those cookies you made and posted on the last page look amazing! I'm sure you posted the recipe somewhere, can you please direct me to it!
 
Holy cow! Stomach flip! Great Danes are high maintenance then?

Not really. The last one wasn't. This one isn't really high maintenance, just having an adjustment issue. Monitoring his intake is working and Saturday we will see if he has worms.
 
Chances of currently getting in the gym during the week: 0%

The puppy hasn't got his schedule down yet. I'm up around 0100 for a while. I wouldn't function if i didn't try and get sleep when I could.
 
You just gotta hug that puppy ma man and say it's gonna be okay...I mean it fixes nothing but it feels good lol
 
I was hugging him to the bath at 0100 this morning to clean the poo off of him.
 
Sleep. I need it
 
Back on the 13th, bench yesterday with lots of accessory stuff. My freakin tendons are sore today though. Taking mom out to lunch then relaxing. Deadlifts tomorrow?

Says bench press 227.5 but 195 was the highest weight posted on the lift. I'm confused at what your actually lifting
Click to expand...

It's a calculated max based on what I lifted in that session. If you use the same app you probably didn't see anything because it won't go below one-thousandths of a pound.
