Who ever it was who said this was all Timeless Toni Storm playing giving her greatest performance, was 100% on the money! I do hope Storm doesn't go through with her threat, however! I mean yes, obviously she wants and deserves vengeance, but how's about ripping May's nose off her face? Once she'll get that fixed, it will probably just improve her looks. But I implore you, please leave the mammar... I mean the memories alone!

Yesterday was pretty close to an off day, eventhough I did go to the gym. I made sure I didn't do anything heavy since I ate my warm meal less than 45 minutes before starting the workout. Had to move squat day to today. Ironically, or coincidentally (as the case may be), today I didn't have the time have a warm meal at work, or much of anything, really. So, deep squats won't make you nauseous, in any case, if you'll have the strength to do them! After a couple of warm-up sets, I did 4x293 stopping at the bottom, then the same with 388. 4x432 which were "clean" according to my co-worker, so below parallel, at least. Then 5x482, which were ok, since they were below the safety bar. Then some calf raises, starting from 388. None of this was recorded, but I'm pretty sure I could pull off a 3x408 with a stop at the bottom, so I'll go for that the next time I'll record my sets.

Yesterday was a typical Monday workout, nothing special. I did do 3x88 with the left arm on dumbell overhead press, but used the compression sleeve for protection and did use momentum to get the weight up each time. Then again, it's 88, so I don't care! The right arm went up to 70,5 and up until 61,5 before I had to help the weight up with the left arm on the first rep. Light and deep incline dumbell bench and a lot of curls and a little bit of abs was the rest of the workout.

https://youtu.be/NePxbejNKeQ Ok, this ended up being a long-ass compilation. 4 different sessions from past two months. These are one one rep sets, or singles, as it were. Most of them are from different heights. This can be used as a retroactive guide to what the hell I have been talking about when it comes to "deficits" and "blocks" over the past couple of years (?) I do the deficit lifts in order to get the better ROM for the parts that don't activate during lifts off the blocks. There are a couple of deficit lifts on this compilation that I have not been able to top or pull off again after the lift in question was performed. This one took 3 entire songs: Reckless, Never The Heroes and No Surrender, all by Judas Priest, obviously.

That was very bad-ass! And some long-ass sets, too! That's also exactly the kind of machinery that is absent from my/our gym at work, as even the lat pull down machine is still not bolted to the wall and/ floor. Also, I can see your philosophy on ROM here, clearly too!

Only now getting to watch this! Really good show! Moose v Kushida, action packed opener. Strong showing by both men. 3 way tag was all action and even if I was bummed out by Hammerstone being out with an injury once again (maybe cut back on the steroids, jesus christ, man!) him not being there probably added to the overall quality of the match, as much as I hate to say it! I guess this is how The Rascalz got to face Fraxiom, too? I expected Trent Seven vs Ace Austin to be good, but holy shit, this was awesome! Grace vs Rosemary was good enough for sure, but still just a way to get Tessa Blanchard into the mix again. Well, I'm fine with that shit. The 4-way contenders match had a shitload of heavyweight talent. There's really no way for a match to be bad with this line-up. And obviously, the right guy went over. The tables match was well put together, aside from the accidental table break, but it's simply amazing that The Hardys can do anything like this at this point of their careers/lives. Didn't watch the main event yet, but it will be interesting to see what Nick Nemeth can drag out of AJ "Not Styles" Francis?

Absolutely, and the somehow inherent notion of protecting Miss Elisabeth, as HTM had already shoved her and that's like every babyface going "Hol'up, now!"

Or a ridiculous high-flyer. Flips and springboards with even the most basic of moves, like lock-ups and wristlocks, but indeed, no suplex in sight.

https://youtu.be/6PNrYOme-ik Here's an edited version of this year's first heavy week, I had to edit out the lightest Meadows Row set in order to share this on WhatsApp. This got flagged by copyright of Blood Red Skies, so if it's blocked in wherever you are trying to watch it, let me know. I will use some stock music for an updated version, or something? You may notice that I do the dumbell overhead press and bicep curl on the Scott bench only with my left arm here. The right shoulder is still a bit iffy, so I won't risk it. Once again, filming something with lighter weights defeats the purpose, so this is why that is.

@Ryback Hates Bullies Thanks, man! I have been called dense before, but not in this situation! I'll work on some other videos and post them here, once they are up to snuff. This one was indeed just a tester, I have made progress since that time. Oh, and yeah, the ROM will be the least impressive thing about many of the stuff I have recorded, because I usually skip all of the lighter sets as far as filming goes, because what's the point of that? Also, you should definitely share some links if you have any, because I sure would be interested to see what you are up to in the gym (and not just reading about it)!

I was able to obtain 2 of these magazines back in the day (or one if I'm thinking of the wrong magazine) 5 years apart. One from (mid) 1992 and the other from (early) 1997. I remember this add very clearly. Forgot about it until now, but yes very vividly.

Harley Cameron is such adorable, lovable comedy goof and crowd is definitely starting to warm up to her! AEW just has to follow through with this! Well, I guess they don't have to, but we kinda expect that now, since they eventually followed through with that other adorable, lovable comedy goof, Eddie Kingston! ... ... ... What?

Hot start to the show, and we got Kenny's good music back, yay! So we got Omega & Ospreay vs Fletcher & Takeshita at Grand Slam and Ospreay vs Cage next week! Let's go! New tag champs! In a dominant fashion, at that! This reminds me of Rockers vs Power and Glory, only with More talented Rockers and less talented Power and Glory... just kidding! Or am I? These guys facing Murder Machines, Brody and Murphy or Gates of Agony is money right there and something totally different from what AEW tag scene has been. Is that good or bad? It's different. Harley Cameron, the girl with the Ti... pping Point, oh yes, it's plain to see! The sales pitch for the TBS title shot was awesome, but Not Sasha was absolutely right to turn her down with zero victories, and all! Jamie beats Julia and somewhere down the line, they will settle this! Jarrett with less embarrassing performance this week, but getting past Claudio is going to be hard, unless MJF sticks his nose in. Well, I'm sure he will, but not to help Jarrett win. Hangman retired The Fallen Angel. Happy now? PAC vs Cope was good and intense stuff, too bad the post match didn't go so well for the good guys. Well, it's not going so hot for the good guys globally, at the moment, so it figures.

Would not surprise me in the slightest if he did. The change in his physique is so noticeable, even compared to his previous top forms.

It DID, the first two were a double cd re-issue, but now my collection starts with Ceremony of Opposites, which I also used to own as an LP before I even had a CD player.

They are still doing at least decent stuff after all this time, The 69 Eyes, that is.

@Gordi the recovering AEW f They sure have! Not necessarily MANY more than 7, but I believe I have 8, one of which is a double CD called "25", which has 25 songs from their (at the time) 25-year career. Pretty underrated, much like Simple Minds.

I've got at least 10 (maybe closer to 15, actually). And I love the stuff they have been putting out since 2005. Similar career resurgence like Killing Joke since 2003.

Holy shit! Roxanne Perez and Cora Jade are hanging out now? That's like Iconic Duo, if they had been credible...or hot! And just so you get that this was partially sarcastic, this is similar to the joke I had when I first learned that Ariana Grande existed: "It's like someone looked at Jessica Alba and went 'This won't do! Now, try again and this time make her hot!'"

At the risk of whatever, I was trying to get back to sleep so I started listing the bands/artists that I still own 7 or more CD's by at the moment. I didn't fall asleep, but came up with: The 69 Eyes, A-ha, The Birthday Massacre, Christian Death, Clan of Xymox, The Cult, The Cure, Danzig, Diary of Dreams, Eminem, Fields of the Nephilim, Girls Under Glass, HIM, Hocico, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Killing Joke, L'ame Immortelle, Megadeth, Metallica, The Mission, Pain, Paradise Lost, Samael, Saxon, Sentenced, Simple Minds, Tiamat, Type O Negative, Unheilig, W.A.S.P. Yeah, got up and made some coffee...

Oh hell yeah! Thanks a million!

Has Zoey Stark faced Ivy Nyle yet? Last time I was watching a coupleof years ago, I was really looking forward to that match and never got it, as of then.

https://youtu.be/5ofeVC44kxs?si=mUQu-GExFlm5Fa_U Here's my first attempt at a YouTube training video. I hope it works! I mean I did this later than others but these are the very first clips I actually recorded. The weights and/ or sets have gotten better since then, but there would be no point in showing this to anyone after they had seen the better ones. The song is Dragonaut by Judas Priest from Redeemer of Souls. Enjoy(?)

I did not feel like going to gym today, and yet... 5 sets of incline dumbell bench with pairs of 39,5's, 53's, 66's, 75's and 84's. Sets of 12 with everything but the 75's which was 16. I did a set of sitting hammer curls with the two lightest weights and a set of standing hammer curls with the rest. Plenty of resistance band stuff and relatively good ab work at the end. Got the two of the heaviest sets on video.

Powerhouse Hobbs, you son of a bitch!!! So, if Bowens has 5 tools and Caster is one giant tool, which one wins that measuring contest? Tony was just about to ask Toni the hard questions when Toni Time started! Damn, they have even made Toni's makeup younger than it was before! Let's see how the meeting with The Glamour goes this week?
