AJ thanks so much. I just happened to grab a band that gave no support. Guess it made me do more work so that's alright. But yes, I have short legs so I don't have to pull it to far. We learn something new about each other every day :D Awww! AJ thanks so much. I just happened to grab a band that gave no support. Guess it made me do more work so that’s alright.

Elizabeth, I'm detecting a lack of gratitude for the two times I pulled down your band. I thought I was really helping until I realized you only need to pull it down a few inches... Yuck, the dreaded Cindy. The last time I PR'd I puked, and the next time I did Cindy I fell short of my PR, so I was really dreading this one. But then I felt great and actually knocked down another PR: 19 solid rounds (it may have been 20, I have a suspicion that I didn't count 1 round). Either way, I'm happy and will take the legit 19. First PR in a few months, perhaps my wife's damn semi-vegetarian diet is actually helping me get over the hump. Yesterday's ring dips really hurt my push ups... No puke this time (happy emoticon here). Nice post Fielding! Elizabeth, I’m detecting a lack of gratitude for the two times I pulled down your band.

She is teaching the Oly lifting seminar in April. By that time, I have to be able to squat and tear my shoulders out of their sockets. Which reminds me, I have to go squat.

Those guys in the pic above make Lady Gaga look like John Wayne. Ling and Bo
