What's up guys?


Thought I would drop in and say hi... been a while since I've been on here.

Don't really even have time to lurk anymore. Unfortunately, I'm not competing in powerlifting due to time constraints but still lifting heavy when I have time.

My lower body is weak but I am " " close to a 350 lb raw bench.

Any of the oldies still around ?

Hey Dark, good to hear from you. Your bench is looking good. You know what you have to do for a weak lower body, right? Work it harder! But you already know that, lol.

I'm not quite sure how to take that one? I'm old, so does that make me an oldie?

Those oldies are still around. It is younger people like you and me that makes this place interesting so I hope you check in now and then to balance out the "Geritol crowd".

Hey, thanks for dropping in to say hi.

Yeah, the "oldies" are still around. Stop in when you can again.

CYA.

Haha... you're gonna laugh.

Here are my squats today...

Ass to grass: 275 x 4 x 5, 285 x 5
Front squats (ass to grass): 185 x 8, 225 x 3

I officially bench more than i squat.

How are your lifts?

Gooseneck: Nice to see you here still. Any updates on goals man?

Maurer: Still at the U of A. Got accepted to the business program here as an Econ major. How are you doing with school?

Ladyc: That's not what I mean hehe, but I guess it applies to at least a few of you in this thread . Only kidding...

pierini: Will definitely stop by from time to time. Discussfitness is what changed my health around a long time ago. Even though right now my goals are different from most df members, as I am having less time, I am gearing myself towards more general fitness. In fact, I've been doing cardio sporadically last few months and want to do more. Always good to see some familiar faces in an area of my life that I still find important and probably always will. I know your trainings been good as always .

Welch- Good to see you still here. Hope all is well for you and your kids.

Anyways, cool that I'm not ostracized yet for not being a regular hehe. Good luck to you all. I still credit a lot of the early guys on here for getting me off my ass and on the right track. I see the regulars are still paying it forward...
