I was sucking wind, all the muscles from my ribcage down were pulsing and cramping, I was starting to see spots so I racked it and sucked wind for about a minute.
275 X 5
each one was a grind

Pullover
I learned about these in “Train Like a Strongman Volume 1”. It’s produced by Atomic Atheletic and if you aren’t doing pullovers and powercleans, I recommend them and the video. This was my first time doing these. I used an ez curl bar. I have always been told those were 22lbs so that is how I am adding it in.

47 1/2 inches around the waist.

I have to say I was taken aback. I was thinking 43 or 44 maybe. I wear 42 inch pants. But measured around the fattest part of the body 47 1/2. I even made Lara measure me again. yep 47 1/2. I can’t quit express in these PG forums what I would like to about that.

The good news. Through all my driving and what not last week (3,125 miles in days) I realized the reason I fail at the weight loss is that I never commit. I have to commit. So that is one of the things I will be trying to do. I will still lift because I like it but I have to lose some weight.
