Those checkboxes look great. Wonder where you got that brilliant idea from ;-) Thanks! I thought I was shooting for the moon when I picked up 460. Thought John was crazy when he and Greg suggested I try John's bar at 467, all covered in elastic bands to keep the itty bitty 2.5# donut weights on. Then I really shot for the moon when I dumped those 2.5# duds and put on 5# weights on each side for another big pull. Damn, I'm still riding that high! They are real swell checkboxes, aren't they? Found them in the Wing Dings font on Microsoft Word. 42 minutes ago, Laghail said: Dude I'm jealous over that PR, that bar bending is the sweetest part. I wish! Stupid Oly bar hardly bends at all.

obax Posted October 26, 2016 Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 Following! Also, I wish to say thanks for introducing me to Derek Weida. I've been finding some much needed inspiration from him. Even if you didn't introduce him to me in particular, if I hadn't stopped by your thread, I wouldn't have clicked the link, and I'd still be dragging my ass wherever I go. So thanks!!! 2 Quote Dare mighty things Current Challenge Link to comment
