Sorry didn't mean to call out your new buddy. But someone has to do it.

A little flattery goes a long ways with you I see.

You are definitely the best 196lb 50yr old Australian rower that I know of.

1x3 165
1x1 195
3x1 225
1x10 155

Squat

1x3 275
1x3 295

1x8 225

Pull ups
6 Starting to feel the groove now on these. Been experimenting between thumbs over grip which I have mostly done and regular grip. Thumbs over wide grip feels like I can do more and I feel stronger, but narrower grip with thumb wrapped around I end up being able to do more it seems. Feel like the first mile stone of 10 is just around the corner. I think I'll try a rep max test next week sometime as I don't feel maxed at 6, but have been taking it slowly.

I haven't really been following your log, but seriously great job on the weight loss plus very respectable strength retention.

When loco was throwing around his predictions, I was pretty sure he was going to be wrong about where your strength would be at this BW, but I didn't think he was going to be this wrong.

Thanks man. Yeah what can I say, it's just the realities of natty training.

Congrats on the weight loss.

I'm finishing up a cut soon and my bench has been affected at about the same rate (per pound lost) as yours.

I do at least 30-40 before I start my squat sets. However, since I don't log, obviously it never happened. So, I will not dispute your title.

Correct. No claim is valid unless it has been video'd and the video has been certified as authentic by the FBI.

Weather is pretty nice today. Gonna go for a run today. I will try to run a mile without stopping, but I'm fairly sure my max will be around 400m. Predicted pace will be about 12min/mi. I guess I'll see.

Did a little better than I expected. I thought the mask would slow me down a lot more than it did though it definitely had an effect.

Makes me laugh harder at the people who complain about having to wear it to the air conditioned grocery store.

Had to start rounding the corner because some guy had his pitbull off the leash playing fetch. Last thing I want is the dog to mistake me for running towards his owner. Thing should be on a leash imo.

Muscles felt fine. Lungs surprisingly lasted longer than expected. Bottom and sides of my feet are what hurt the most. All in all I'd rather do KB swings.

Thanks. I hope all this extra cardio doesn't take away my strength gains.

Ready for another run today. See if I can beat my last time. Will prove difficult as I was moving quite quickly last time.

I gotta say I was definitely the best mile runner at the field today.
No pitbull to throw me off my rhythm.

At this rate I'll hit 7 min by the end of June.
