Great night tonight. It was nice to be able to train with a partner again and we were on the same page. Both pushed one another at different points. Good times. Great back pump, feeling strong as hell. Got a new job with a huge raise in pay today that helped fuel the great training. Came home to find we were having Sushi for dinner, then head over the 'rents to watch Survivor. Finally, I'm off tomorrow so I need to use the time to write a resignation and then hopefully use the 2 weeks vacation I have left for my final 2 weeks. Things are going well, let's hope my upcoming deadlift meet stays on course and my squat starts coming around.

[Brian Hopper]

Congrats on the new job, a pay raise is always motivational!!!

Deadlift on Saturday destroyed my shoulders. Seems like the whole crew was a little off tonight so we pushed through and made it a quick night. Looking forward to being off Tuesday before hitting lower accessory day on Wednesday.

[Cricket_Fire]

Congrats Tone, great to hear about the job/raise

[Barbaccio]

Thanks Cricket, I feel like I talk to myself an awful lot in here. Nice to know someone is following...lol

[Brian C]

Yo Tone, still good pressing for being "off" bro. Ill be giving you a call about Mondays. I should be able to make this Monday if you dont mind a 198er around lol.

[gatorman2k6]

Good work in here lately. I always read your journal, just don't write much.

[-JM-]

Super squats and deads Tone. 660x5 was ok I guess

INSANE stuff in here!!!

[DGabe24]

I just stopped in, read most of your journal...awesome strength big guy.

Im from Jersey too, I live in North (Passaic county) but go to school at Rowan University.

Maybe we can get a lift in together some time, I really need to lift with some new people tp help break some PR's.

Sure thing bro. We'd be happy to have you.

Thanks gator. I'm always in your log as well. Don't comment every time, but I like your work!

660x5 had me pretty happy, but not as happy as if it was 700x5. I'm in your log faithfully as well Flynn. All you're missing is a good crew to train with.
