You just got back from vacation on 7/8, now you are heading to Myrtle Beach for a week? I want your job

PeteTheGreek · 08-05-2007, 08:42 AM

Back from second vacation. We traveled with two of my wife's cousins and their kids. One particular 16 year old was a whiny little bitch the whole time. She bitched about everything and her mommy gave in every time. Even my 9 year old said to her, "Would you please shut up?" The highlight of the trip was my 6 year old dropped the "f" bomb for the first time. He said, "Dad, what does fuck mean?" A few days later he also grabbed my sack for no reason.

Well, after a 700 mile drive yesterday and eating nothing but shit all week, this is what I did today:

Speed box squats, straight bar:
365 for 8 sets of 3, about 2-3 minutes RI

Cambered bar 45 degree back extensions:
95 for 3 sets of 10

Oh, and it looks like Sean gave up on us. We haven't seen him in weeks. The verbal abuse finally got to him?
