Gayer than justifying your workout to another guy.

No kidding.

September 26 27 there os a C and L at West Point if you want to jump in.   I can give you a buddy pass for the C for free too as a 1st time guy.

I totally appreciate that, but too short notice for me.

If you ever have anything like that in the future, I'd be game.  There is a trainer at my gym who said he'd do a challenge with me and my buddy.  I'm looking into one that works best for us, and I'll let you know.

Emailed my buddy about St Patrick's day heavy.

Both books are great.  but my only advice - get a pack - toss 35-40lbs in it - and get mving.  HEAVY is no FNG joke.  99% of the people on this site would quit in the first 30 minutes easily - let alone 24-30 hours of being deal w shit from Spec Ops people. 

Do a ton of functional fitness stuff.  Like a TON - pushups sit ups flutter kicks pull ups  - overhead duck walks, bear crawls, etc.  HEAVY is a massive kick in the balls

Leg day 13.1 miles in 2:12 PR in PA...

[Lobstah]

Juuuuust wanted to tell you guys I hit a new PR! 225# squat for eight reps. NO KNEE PAIN EITHER! I don't know too many ladies in the two plate club. I also don't know many ladies who squat almost 100# over bodyweight. So I'm feeling mighty accomplished.

Congratulations.  What are you doing different for the knee pain?

Congratulations.  What are you doing different for the knee pain?

To be honest, I don't know. I think part of the problem has always been that my legs get stronger consistently and quickly, but since I've only been lifting seriously for about 6 years, my knees haven't necessarily had the time to adjust. Like my shoulders NEVER get stronger, so THAT joint NEVER needs to adjust to new stimulus, so no shoulder pain.
That said, it HAS been six years, so...I wish they'd adjust already.

Short answer: no clue
