Log not living up to its title

Sorry

working backwards:

Tuesday night I had a GLBC Blackout Stout.

Sunday I had 7 beers while watching football and studying for the GCIA.

Drinking is about the only way I can study for this.
1 Founders Dirty Bastard
2 New Belgium Citradelics
2 Weihenstephaners
1 Stella Artois
1 Simple Times Pilsner

Saturday night:
1 Latitude 42 Devil's Cuvee
https://untappd.com/b/latitude-42-br...s-cuvee/951877
This was really good!
2 vodka sodas (I think)
4 Budweisers?

I also fail to log a bunch of actually interesting stuff I drink when I travel for work or the military.

The best bars I was at in 2015:
http://www.bargreatharry.com/ (Brooklyn)
http://www.theowlfarm.com/ (Brooklyn)
(same ownership for both)
www.thehoppymonk.com/elpaso/ (El Paso obv)
http://easytigeraustin.com/ (Austin)


Some other weird places:
FÁBRICA MARAVILLAS in Madrid (Madrid microbrewery; this beer sucks)
CRUZES CREDO in Lisbon (cute place; decent beer selection; good food)
Mosquito in Barcelona http://www.mosquitotapas.com/ (ridiculously good food and good German/Belgian beer selection)

Drank a ton of beer since last Thursday. Some standouts:

New Belgium Sidetrip - nice, fairly inexpensive Belgian pale ale.
Sierra Nevada Otra Vez - pretty good gose
Alesmith Speedway Stout - I love RIS, but I've never had this one. Absolutely huge at 12%. There was something off about the nose. I think there are better RIS out there.
Thirsty Dog Wulver Wee Heavy Bourbon Barrel Aged - $7 for a 12 oz. bottle in grocery store. Very malty. Probably could have used a couple years of cellaring.

1x Off Color Brewing Troublesome goze - fantastic

I opened a bottle of Evil Twin Ryan and the Gosling and it was undrinkable. I poured it down the drain.

Do you always DL in heeled shoes? What sort of difference does it make when compared to flat-canvas or even barefoot?

Rippetoe has a lot of material on why deadlifting in shoes is better. You can read about it here: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...hp?t=135300631
