That is a good question I will have to look.
Oh absolutely she does a lot for me and I will never complain about that.if the off brand doesn't hold up, at least you'll learn that you love them and it will be easier for you to stomach the price of the Rehbands. I'm sure there are other good brands out there, but I'm still shocked how great my sleeves are at 8+ years old.
plus... damn what a great wife to just grab them for you, pretty awesome
Yeah buddy!
Another solid DL session!
Basically
Get you a burrito shell and some lime and make that a big burrito!I've been thinking about nachos this entire day from this thread. Instead, I'm having leftover chuck roast, wild rice, and fistfuls of salad.
... you may be on to something...
The differences in resistance on leg press machines has always been a point of interest for me, I completely understand why but it's always made me try the leg press at every gym I go to. I'm weird. In Iraq I was doing like 1200lb, and I remember getting back on back and 500 was heavy on that rust ass machine. Idk, I find it intriguing
Yeah buddy!
My wife introduced me to roast beef soft tacos many years ago, pretty good stuff.
Yeah this is a fact for sure. Some I can load up to 12 plates a side for 12 reps, some I am working in the 500 range for heavy sets of 12. As long as they make my legs work hard and give me that extra volume I need I am happy!
Oh yeah, I was repping with 24 plates on one and some guy said you think you can still do that with me on top? Of course I said yes, so he climbed up on the platform and i started repping with him on it. Some people were stopping and watching but the trainer ran up and admonished us. Which I get, but I still finished my last 2 reps to get to 10 before i stopped the set. He asked me why I didn't stop and I just said I had to finish my set. He just laughed and shook his head then said that was actually pretty bad ass but don't do it again or he will get in trouble for letting me do that. WHOOPSIE!!! You can't press a man on DMZ and not expect him to take the challenge!
Definitely true. I also feel like some plates are way different in weight/ same with DB.
That is awesome!!
Just one of those sessions I just wanted to keep going and going! But I kept it toned back since it’s my programed deload.
Love that you're taking this approach to look at your progress. I had done something similar a while back for weight loss. 0.5# or even a lb weekly can seem like small changes on the scale. And easy to get frustrated unless you look at the bigger/whole picture. You can see the steady progression with your trend over time when you zoom out like that.
Yes it is a big decision and we have been talking it over a lot. Have a few pages of pros and cons and few pages of budget figures. Sad part is moving there financially makes the most sense as we cut the biggest cost out of the equation housing. The other factor is my parents have worked really hard in life to create what they have built, I would like to carry on that tradition and always the possibility of passing it to the next generation if they would choose to live that lifestyle. Luckily this is also the wife’s dream so it’s not a one sided dream that would make it almost impossible.
I come from the farm life as well, "homesteading" is a dream of mine. My biggest concern is how tied down you become. My Dad has been out to see me in NC twice in the last 13 years because you can't just have someone come out and casually take care of 30 cows, 12 goats, feed the barn cat, move the round bale out, get a new mineral tub out, etc. Maybe I'll get to a point where that isn't an issue, but even with my dogs and I don't feel like I can just go spend a night somewhere unless extensive plans are made.
For sure. Like I said it’s still a few years out. I would definitely see if the company I am at I can be remote and essentially be a CADD technician for the engineering department. There is also a DOT department in the town and they are always looking for basically what I do now. Job wise I will have no trouble landing work it will just be not what I make currently. But offset the low cost of living and no mortgage yes we can flourish on substantially less income. Also the wife has another year to finish her degree and will have a high probability of landing a decent remote position that would help a lot.
This is definitely true! It would help with my parents living on the other side of the property when either they or us would need to be gone the other could watch over. In theory that works at least
.
so might go later this morning or this afternoon since work will be pretty slim today
Thanks! Definitely have been happy with progress this year!Congrats on the PR and the new bodyweight to strength ratio you’ve achieved.
Pretty stoked for sure!!
