Current weight: 206.2

Not too bad since it looks like the last time I mentioned weighing-in I was 204-205 and I haven't paid a bit of attention to calories.

That's it? Well now I feel miffed you laughed at me for speculating you could press bodyweight for reps, though I have no idea if you have the six-pack that was also part of the deal.

When you said that, I didn't think I could.

After yesterday, ya I definitely believe I can do it. Thanks for believing in me!

Squatting 440 and pressing 220 on the same day...that's a good day Ice Cube would be proud of.

What part of Seattle did you decide to live?

Nice press and gl with move. If you need to lighten the load of Wicked Weed etc I know a place en route for you to stop.

Ice Cube would certainly approve.

We still haven't locked down a place as I'm trying to interview and possibly land a job before the move. I'm hoping we can find something in Capitol Hill or First Hill. May venture out to like Lower Queen Anne though if I get one of the jobs I'm interviewing for.

Thanks man. I do believe we are going to be driving through that area and seeing some friends/family on the trip through. Is there anything specific you're looking for? I do already have some boxes of WW and FF

Considering that is exactly what was going through my head, good thing I don't play live poker anymore.

Thanks man.

Getting in the zone is something I've tried to cultivate when weightlifting. It almost becomes a bit like meditation or maybe flow is a better description. Definitely remember a handful of people at the old crossfit gym coming up to comment on how "zoned" I was and seemingly oblivious to all the loud robot music and random CF shenanigans going on around me.

1PM

HBBS
3x315, 2x355, 1x395, 1x425, 1x457.5 (PR)

425 looked pretty smooth and solid. 457.5 didn't look too bad either, but clearly much slower.

OHP
3x135, 3x150, 2x165, 2x185, 1x195, 1x205, fx215, 1x215, 1x205

WAT, I was on the never ending string of PRs and good days and I fail 215?? The one I seemed like much more of a struggle than the 220 I did last week. Then I tried dropping down to 205 for some reps and couldn't get it past my nose on the second rep. :\ That was on pretty short rest though, so I'm going to blame that.

Single PR days are terrible. It happens. You'll recover.

Next week is another opportunity. I'll probably swap OHP to first lift so I can go a little heavier there then take it easy on the squats.

Two wheel press would be sick. I wouldn't be able to help myself and troll two wheel squatters at the gym? Hey, can I work in?

You'd probably need to be able to squat two wheels first, loco.
