    Thanks guys. Much appreciated. 40 for me. I remember when @DEANturned 40 a million years ago and how ancient that seemed at the time. Ah well.

    Best wishes a day or so late. And just to clarify, 1000040 years would (and does) make anyone ancient, like literally. Sorry DEAN! But being 40 isn't what it used to be. I'm 40 +10% now and most days, once I get going, I still don't feel what I understand 40 should feel like.

    I'm starting to get worried that if Gargano does not get a new contract once the current one is up, it will be Dexter accidentally ending up killing off Johnny's character. Maybe one more espionage mission gone horribly wrong, or something?

    When they released Bray Wyatt, they told Alexa to stop using Bray's moves and no-selling.  Presumably, that has something to do with why they're allegedly taking Alexa off tv for awhile to be repackaged.

    Does Alexa still get "Bray" chants from crowds?

    I'm going to assume that in this case "they" refers to the evil spirits possessing both Bray and Alexa. They "released" Bray from the spell The Fiend had on him and then told Alexa she's not allowed to use their powers to win wrestling matches anymore. Now as to WHY this happened, and what made the spirits to act that way, but it may have something to do with the fact that it was Bray who they wanted and Alexa was just a special weapon they gave him. Once they let him go, they decided not to allow the use of their powers anymore, but forgot to release Alexa from under the spell! Now that the doll met her demise, maybe the spell will be broken.

    All Elite Wrestling: where the ring doesn't collapse from regular use.

    Or the announce desk doesn't collapse on itself from a self-proclaimed fat ass dancing on it earlier! Although, if JR, Wight OR Mark Henry did it, I wouldn't blame the table. That's not regular use for an announce desk.

    So wait ... is ROMAN REIGNS God's favorite champion??? Tell me Miro at least gets to keep his double-jointed wife.

    He could still be 2nd favorite and get special treatment! And like Casey pointed out, against The Demon, you would very likely be getting some celestial perks!

  6. If she will not be requiring too much of your assistance during her workouts, I'd say it should only serve as an extra bit of motivation for you!

    Trapbar was not as overwhelmingly difficult as it was last week, but still felt heavy af! Started with 10x140, 10x242, 10x286 and 10x363, then with Versas on 6x430 and 6, 5, 5 and 4x451. Shrugs with 242 and 176 as well as all the pairs of plates I carried back to the rack. Ab work and stretching to finish. Later in the evening I stretched and rolled my quads and hamstrings throughly and once again it helped my bikeride home immensely. Friday it will be bench, I hope.

  7. Ok, this week will again be 3 workouts, max, as Wednesday and Thursday will be off due to real life. Yesterday was a light, but long and intense upperbody pump, as shoulders, lats, chest, traps, triceps and biceps all got their shit in. I feel somewhat sore in all those places, but nothing too bad.

    On Saturday we went for a stairclimbing workout. On the last climb up, I tried to especially activate my glutes and ended up with sore CALVES the next day. At least I felt it somewhere. Last night, before leaving work, I stretched my legs extra well and they were definitely in need of it. Biking home felt better than usual so I guess it did help.

    Today, I'll do trapbar and Friday bench, hopefully. I want to know what my starting level in my mid 40's will be, as far as bench goes. As for other big moves, I'll find out in the upcoming weeks.

  8. Last few days have been even more uninteresting than usual...

    On top of that, I'm about to officially enter my mid 40's, so I'd like to pre-emptively and politely tell all you kids to get off my lawn. The forties themselves haven't sucked nearly as bad as I figured they would, but the 2020's have just been the shit worst decade so far. But hey, maybe things will start to slowly not suck 100% all the time, next year?

    My grandmother, bless her heart, told me it was a shame that Liberace never found a nice woman to settle down with in, like, 2002.

    I did not have the heart to correct her.

    Hey, if Freddie Mercury and Elton John both found a nice women to settle down with for a little bit (obviously those relationships didn't last, but they happened and the reason they did, could have been an attempt to settle down in another sense [i.e. less drugs, booze]), it is theoretically possible Liberace could have given it a go as well. But maybe he wasn't the type to settle down with or for any one person, male, female or other?

  10. I don't really understand legitimately hating wrestlers for their in-ring work. I have a bunch of wrestlers I give no two shits about, but even then I hardly ever even skip or fast forward their matches, I just go do something else while they are on.

    I don't even have the time to hate wrestlers for their transgressions outside the ring but I will likely pay even less attention to their work then.

    There's so much good stuff out there still, that literally hating somebody's matches so much that you wish them harm, is indeed kinda backwards. You will save time for the stuff you actually like by NOT watching what you don't like. Unless you like watching stuff you hate, which is , of course also your prerogative.

    From Jorge Masvidal's last fight against Kamaru Usman:

    OIP.fKBX3HSEJ_jFkOZbYmLEXQHaEq?pid=ImgDe

    Enjoy!

    Wow, that took considerably less time than that "Soccer Mom vs MMA Figher" match I saw on  Reddit from something called "Tomato Can Fighting" or something, and that only took about as long as that whole clip did.

  12. I found Mortis' stuff very exciting matches-wise. Plus Mortis and Wrath had a bunch of really exciting tag matches, I remember liking their PPV match against Meng and Barbarian in '97. Based on those Kanyon could have done way more in the ring than his character allowed, which is kinda dumb, because he was "Innovator of offence", right? Then how come you didn't let him do all the cool shit he did as Mortis? He was grossly missused in WWF, but that goes for so many others at the time, so it's not like he would have been the only one. However, any and all talk about him being anything less than "good" in the ring is absolute bullshit! And Cena and Flair, how many moonsaults did you do? Right. So shut up!

    I'm fine with passing on Buddy. There's no room on that roster anymore as good as he is. My hope is that he winds up in NJPW, but Impact would be a decent fit as well.

    I myself am most definitely not fine with passing on Matthews, BUT I do understand it. He will be a great asset where ever he may end up, but AEW is so loaded right now, he would have gotten lost in the shuffle. I'm just sad that PAC vs Buddy M still isn't any closer to happening!

    When I was a teenager I thought My Dinner with Andre was about Wallace Shawn meeting Andre the Giant for dinner. 

    I was really bummed out when I finally saw it.

    Maybe you were confusing it with that Freddie Blassie thing? Didn't somebody have a dinner with him as well, in some other movie, or something? I mean you obviously wouldn't confuse Andre with Blassie, but if you knew about one, then why couldn't there be two movies like that? Of course, whatever that Blassie thing was it may have come out decades later, so it's a moot point. So yeah, I guess nevermind, then.

  15. Got one more workout in today. First 5 sets of squats and 4 sets of calf raises on the machine with 180 and 220, then 6 rounds of pull-up, dip and reverse shrug combo. Starting with 66 lbs on everything , went three rounds with that, then 1 round with 44 lbs, then one with 22 and then bodyweight. After that 4 sets of curls with two 22 lb plates. Then I "ran the rack" with kettlebells and did behind the neck over head presses starting with 70 lbs and ending with 17 lbs with six sets in total with no interruption save for the changing to the lighter weight. Then abs and stretching and now it's done. I'm glad I was able to do 3 workouts with mostly big moves, so this week was ok overall.
