That's the attitude! I just outlined my goals for the next 3 months, maybe I should add that...

Squats, press, and deadlift yesterday. Squat form was a lot better after meeting up with Brodie Saturday. I'm getting more hip drive out of the bottom and my work sets felt easier than they did on Saturday. Press was tough, I'm only going up 2.5 lbs at a time for that now, and I felt like a beast doing deadlifts. At Brodie's advice, I'm sticking with 5lb jumps on squat, and I'm doing 15lb jumps on deadlift for a bit.
My wife asked me if I felt like I was exploding. I asked her where she thought I was exploding, because I don't think I've gotten bigger in the belly. She says I need to buy new pants because my thighs and butt have gotten bigger. And she's noticed my traps getting bigger. it's hard to find pants woth small enough waist and large enough thighs that don't looks silly.

I like it. Your wife sounds awesome. My wife told me I need to lose weight because of my thick midsection. It did not go over well for her saying that.

I've had to buy pants a size bigger and then take them into a tailor, especially on my golf pants.

I'm pretty sure this was posted in the last fitness thread, but I'll put it up again. Pretty much all you need to know.

She's starting to question all the eating haha. And she was upset that I ate all the almonds and edamame in the house.

I had so much chalk on that the pad on my left hand split. I'm literally the guy in the corner hurting himself for fun
That's what my above post was referencing. Dom is 100% accurate, except that squats are the worst. Also, pulling sumo is dumbI'm pretty sure this was posted in the last fitness thread, but I'll put it up again. Pretty much all you need to know.

Hardcore cardio last night. I'm not a fan of that kind of cardio, but that's because I have asthma and it can be harder to catch my breath and most....so that's why. However, I do my best to keep up my heart rate and suck air on the 30 second breaks I take.

Easier to cut fat than strength.

Arg I have this guy at the Y who keeps trying to tell me I should pull sumo. Uh, no.

It makes sense for a competitive powerlifter. But for general strength training it's dumb. That variation is the prime example why I say I don't powerlifting or talk powering.
Indeed.

135lb front squat (10x3 with 45s rest)
Dips +25lb (10x3 with 45s rest)

Great thread. Into my third week of working out. Hopefully my goals by the end of the year aren't to crazy.

Did not want to do abs last night, can't really SEE them much anyway...but I did, and it sucked, but it was a good hurt.
