I'll probably need a few days to catch up before I can elaborate on vacation, but the journaling will resume today. Also, I'm starting to diet down and drop bodyfat.
New PRs while on vacation:
1) Squat: a double with 180 kilos (396 lbs.)
2) DB Incline Press: 5 reps with 45 kg (99 lbs.)
Both of these were done in Brisbane, Australia, while lifting with a member of the Women's board and her husband, whom we stayed with for a week. They were unbelievably wonderful people and hosts, and we are trying to figure out how to meet up again with oceans separating us.
Gotta' go for now. Glad to be back, and thanks for the comments.
Today's workout: IP and I went for a run. I finished a course that I was originally told was a 5K in 21:05. Let me be quick to say that it is NOT a 5K! I'm going to go measure sometime later today or tomorrow.
Bench Press: 120 kilos (264 lbs.) for 5 reps. If I remember right, this was actually not too bad at all.
Overhead Squat: I can't remember, exactly. Mermaid or IP, can you help me on this one??? I think I did 80 kilos (176 lbs.) for either 3 or 5 reps. Either way, it would be a PR.

Damn. Good stuff bro. OH squats continue to pwn me.
Are your hands WAY back when you get to the bottom? I know I'm strong enough to handle some weight on these but the bar wants to tip forward when I'm in the hole.
I'm thinking that this is upper back weakness or shoulder inflexibilty- any thoughts?
