What the hell ever happened to that NAFTA agreement. That's ridiculous!

Welcome to Canada, the most overtaxed nation in the world. There are fees upon fees upon fees, which are basically all taxes for doing something, which are then taxed also.

Today’s workout was good. Getting increasingly tougher. Looking forward to reading Rip’s books & correcting my programme.
I almost heaved about 17 breaths after completing the deads.

I think that means they're working. Awesome.

I was just looking through your log...good job so far! But I have a question...tylenol arthritis is the exact same as tylenol, but with an easy open bottle...? It should work the same as any other tylenol, but yes Ibuprofen should work better because it is an anti-inflammatory, same goes with aleve (naproxen).

Well, tylenol itself doesn't really work that well for me. If I have a headache I have to take 3 Extra Strengths. For me, also, headaches are easier to treat than other pains.

While doing the military press, I did a Push Press for the middle working set. I honestly don't see an advantage over the Military. It gives you a little momentum to get out of the hole, but isn't the whole point of that press to build the strength? Wouldn't it in effect be cheating to do the PP?

Advantage is more weight overhead.

You may use as little leg drive as possible to pop it up, and press out the rest.

Pack another 20lbs on there and PP it up

What's the point, though? Don't you want to build strength throughout the full ROM?
Or do you alternate with the M.P., to work the lower level, also.
