Thanks, Jen.
Can't wait to hear how your demo went !

Well not much to report on the evaluation today . Almost the same as last week. But that is better than going backwards ! Guess I'll spend sometime this weekend deciding on some changes to get back on track.

I knew i shouldn't of had those 3 oatmeal raisin walnut cookies ! LOL

Hey Gary, just curious.. From resting the bar on your delts(if you do) from front squats, does it make them sore? I find it feels like it almost bruises mine.. Workouts looking great by the way!

PreMier,

No can't say as I have noticed that. But I have noticed on the last two sets I seem to hold my elbows up highrer, pushing the bar back farther and at times almost choking myself with the bar across my throat . LOL

Hi Gary,
I`m truly sad to hear about your loss.I know how hard it is dealing with death of any kind.I`ll offer some prayers for you and your family and remeber on the positive side now you have another guardian angel



My philosophy in life is that I believe Life will provide its share of ups and downs. But stand tall and realize there is a stronger force behind the scenes. Every night has a new dawning; every room has a door; every lock has a key; and every problem has an answer. So keep working hard and you’ll get what’s yours
