  1. Went for 155x2x10 and got it the whole way through, then rested two minutes and got 160x2. It is weird how much 5# difference makes. Next time I will go for 160 from the get go.

  2. Didn't know where to start with this so I keep adding weight till I couldn't get more than 3 reps.

    125-125/115-115-115-115-115-120-120/115-115-115

    The / was because I could only get the weight up one rep and had to hurry up and take weight off.

  3. I did 125 throughout the last time. Today I increased the weight until I didn't think I would be able to maintain the 2 reps. 145# seemed to be that weight.

    95-105-115-125-135-145-135-135-135-135

    I wanted to give 160 a try because it's been a long ass time since I went that heavy overhead.
    Failed on my first attempt, got pissed off and locked that bitch out on my second attempt!!

    Later fellas

  4. Been tearing walls and doing stuff at the house out lately, so working out has kind of fallen to the back burner again. But, I gotta get going again. What I really would love to do is joing the house gymers like you all. Anyway...

    Started with a 1 mile run, then walk for 20 minutes. Then,

    135, 155, 155, 175, 175, 165f, 155, 155, 165, 165

  5. good to see you post Mike! Building out the garage gym is the answer for me. So convenient. even though you haven't been WOD'ing you are still the one that can give Justin a run for his money as the blog strong man!

  7. So I did this one a while back...started with 95, 115, 135, 145, 145 ,145 then my back started to feel weak (even with a weight belt) and since I tweaked it I'm more wary of adding weight, so, I went to seated presses with dumbells. finished out w/70#, 70#, 80#, 80#. I would have tried 90's, but w/o a spotter, they're to difficult to raise from a seated position. In any case, I enjoyed it.
