They never do. Sooner or later when you don't reveal magic secrets they start to whisper about what you might be taking.

Thanks BtB. Because I trust you guys, here's my secret. Don't tell anyone else.

I love Goblets and chopping wood, too.

Just curious, is it always your left arm not locking out on a missed press? I am noticing lately it's always my right arm that is behind or doesn't lock out on bench or OHP when I miss. I wonder why that is? I'm right handed, you'd think it would be the other hand that would be weaker?

Thanks Mike! Its usually my left, it flares out when my chest fatigues and transfers the weight to my shoulder. On OHP though, its my right that I have more trouble locking out.

Wood chopping, squats, heavy ass presses, and deadlifts? All followed by bacon? Got it! Your secret is safe with me

These guys are my favorite. Every time I hear a kid say they can't gain weight, I want to hire these guys and send them over to said kids house.

I actually saw this stuff on some food show. This should be served with a defibrillator.

Another awesome session. Outer hamstring tendon is a little tender now so going to take it easy this weekend, but no pain during training. I tried breathing squats today as my squat finisher, and they made a believer out of me. Never thought I would say this, but I am starting to love squats.

Power Clean and Press
Warmup
155x 10 singles
165 x 1
175 x 1
185 x 1 clean only - PR for clean without straps.

Squats
Warmup
205 x 5 x 3 sets + 20 pounds from last friday
225 x 1
135 x 15 - 5 deep breaths between reps. + 1 rep from last week.

Dips
BW x 7/7/7/7/5 +2 reps from last friday

Had a great time today and I'm feeling stronger every day now. The extra sleep is definitely helping.

Tender from today, or tender going into the workout?

From today. It felt fine going into the workout. Part of the problem may have been the squat rack I used, it was one where I had to face a mirror, so I gravitated a little forward in the later reps.
