Haha same here!
me too. 23 here.
Meh, if you think having a child automatically makes you fit some bizarre definition of "mature", you're crazy. Hell, to me, "mature" is like "normal" in our society.
Sure, there's perfectly valid concepts of maturity. But they have nothing to do with what people call mature. I'm "mature", but I act "immature" all the time. I couldn't give a shit less. As long as you're able to provide for your kid, and have enough common sense to avoid abuse by negligence, what's a little societal norm?
I maintain that nobody is ever ready for kids, least of all people who think they are. Thinking you're not, in fact, is probably a good thing, because it means you're worried about doing the right thing.
I digress. How is it that I'm actually in the older chunk of us? I knew my body liked to act old, but I'm really kinda young. 26 next month.

True story. My dad just dropped a few thousand on a custom revolving bookcase to make one of the rooms in his house a secret room. He's reasonably well off, but not stupidly rich.
When getting a secret room seems like the thing to do at the time... you're doing something right.
I think I'm gonna start thinking about getting my shoulder fixed with surgery. Just doesn't seem possible to follow a program however shoulder friendly without getting nagging pain eventually, during or after the workout.
Post-surgery rehab is going to suck but it's probably better to get this shit over with at this age.
Finished Savage Race over the weekend. 10k mud/obstacle course which is excellent training for the Tough Mudder in December. Speaking of which, is anybody going to the Sarasota TM on December 1st? Let me know!
Carrying our team's flag through the entire event.
Haha awesome dude. I hope you don't plan on carrying the flag the whole Tough Mudder or you're in for a bad time lol. I can't imagine carrying it over some of the obstacles I went through unless you can strap it on.
Savage and Mudder have similar obstacles. The hard obstacles I encountered while carrying the flag were the monkey bars and the swims. For these cases I'd just drape the flag over my head or hold it between my legs.

I'm sure in every powerlifting book and every lifter I've ever heard, its always BACK and DOWN (I agree u can do BACK and UP, but no way that is more stable than down). I do have terrible posture, and I know my shoulders would fuck up if it wasn't by holding it down.
Just wanted to thank you for the bolded advice. I've always pulled my traps together but I never pulled my shoulders down. I've been doing it for the last few sessions and it takes a ton of strain out of my shoulders. I'm not sure if it's related, but my bench has also improved quite nicely recently. All in all, it just feels a lot better
Went in for the third day in a row (plus rugby) and hit a PR 112kg power Snatch Lols. Getting hype for my last college rugby game this weekend against our rivals.

Yeah I found that engaging my lats in bench press makes it feel both a lot better and a lot more stable, if I let my lats get loose I have a hard time keeping the bar on a path perpendicular to the ground and I have a lot of instability
Hello people! I just want your opinion of my V shape of my back. I know im fat but that's ok! :D
Pretty sure some of you have already seen it, if I have posted in here. Bad memories here dayum. This pic was taken for about 3-5 months ago atleast btw.
