You need to do a standing double Bicep pose
Sweet. 
funny you mention it, my wife actually made me do one before and took a pic, however, I look like a fucking moron in the pic, hence I will not be posting that particular pic on here, hehe.
eventually I will get one that I don't dislike too much and post it on here...of course, I really like my new one a lot better than the other one, so I might have my new artist redraw the first one as much as he can and fix it up a bit.
What's the other one?
My son's name
I've been trying to figure a good way to integrate my kids names into my tattoos too......
Both of my boys are named after ballplayers. I briefly considered getting inked with those numbers (7 for Mantle, 42 for Robinson), but then the older one decided to wear #9 (in honor of Paul Kariya, for some reason), so I thought it might not be the right play.

yeah, definitely take the time to figure it out, don't do what I did. I should have waited and done both of them together, but I was impatient once Ryan was born, I couldn't wait, lol. So of course the place I got Ryan's done is gone, so I went to a place local to my new house for the new one, and the guy here was SO much better, I love my Avery one 10000X more than the Ryan one. It sucks, but you have the advantage of doing them together at once, so it will be better all around.
I still would have done one name on each arm, it just would have been nicer if the same artist did them both for symmetry sake.
............I'm sure it will be a while before I pick the RIGHT design.
DD and Pylon...thanks guys. It's not where I want it to be, but it's getting there. I also went a little off schedule today, since I won't be able to work out tomorrow, so I squeezed this bench workout in today. Ideally, I would have liked to go 3 whole days between bench press days, but since I benched on tuesday, I only got 2 days in between, so I think it reflected in the results a bit.
I am still getting used to this Wendler high(er) rep stuff, the first few reps up to about 5 or so are strong as hell, then I just fall off the cliff strength wise, I am a low rep guy at heart. I got 265 for 10, and probably would get 315 for 5+ right now, just the way my strength is. Plus, I am teaching myself the "powerlifting bench press" as I go, so that makes it more difficult (for now) also. It's a strange groove to learn when you do it the "bodybuilder" way forever

It definitly makes a huge difference in not getting enough days off between. I did bench work today as well and I only had 3 days in between and it definitly showed. Plus me and a few trainers got on a plyo pushup thing yesterday.
Dude.....I give you props for staying home with two kids. I do it for about 3 hours every Saturday morning when my wife goes out for her long run. It's a frickin' madhouse!!!!

Yeah, give me all the props you want, it's a disaster....I fully believe that men were not intended to watch their children all day every day, it's honestly just not something we are equipped to do. It's my own fault though, I chose to do it, I couldn't send my kids to day care, I know lots of people do it, it's just not something we wanted to do for them. It's just a HUGE sacrifice, they better appreciate this some day, that's all I have to say about it.
I hear you. I've got 2 boys (6 and 2) and love hanging out with them...for a couple of hours at a time. Alone, I mean. Us and the wife spent a week in Chicago together and had a great time. But two-on-one? I'm no match for them.
Plus, the older is starting to want to exert his independence, so I have to work to maintain alpha dog status.

*Something unsatisfying about deadlifting a barbell with 335 pounds on it 12 times consecutively when you still have trouble moving the living room couch around, which I doubt weighs 335 pounds....Eh, oh well.

its all a matter of physics and leverage...and the fact that the average household couch is the heaviest and most dreaded object to move in the known universe.
you do know...that couch moving was supposed to be an olympic sport, but it was just deemd too hard. They went the decathlon instead, as it was easier.
stupid war time conditions...don't have a trap bar....I've taken a likig to DB dead lifts...much easier on the shins...but weight tops out at 100lbs...I'll be doing sets of 10 or more soon enough...
But when you're moving the couch you're not lifting it up and down 12 times and it doesn't have a convenient grip like a bar does. That's a lot of reps for that exercise. Were you able to maintain good form for all the reps?
Definitely was more reps than I wanted to do on the deadlift, but the bar kept coming up relatively easy, so I just kept going. In fact, I might have been able to do more actually, but my hamstrings really fatigued first. They were just burning and didn't want to move anymore.
I guess my form was alright throughout since I really don't have any lingering back discomfort. The way I judge my deadlifts is whether or not my back feels funky the next day or two, and my legs really feel more beat up then my back, so maybe it was pretty good form.

who knows, I haven't attempted a max in forever. According to the calculations, this would put me at a 350ish max, however I don't know how appropriate that is for me. Either I train for heavy singles and my lower weight rep maxes go down, or I train higher rep maxes at lower weights, and my singles go down, so it isn't linear for me.
Maybe after one more cycle I will go for a max just to see where things are.

Going anywhere good? Is this a vacation?
I wish it was a vacation, nah, I'm just going into the city overnight to celebrate my 5 year anniversary, 5 looooooooooooong years, lol. It will still be nice to get away from the kids for a night, even though I will probably calling home to check on them every hour since they are staying with my in-laws

Haven't they raised any kids of their own?
Enjoy the night out!
