Nice pressing DS. I need to run into you at 24 to get my press un-shitty. Seems like I've been stuck at 155-165 forever.

 

[JauntyAngle]

First visit to your log. 225lb OHP? Damn!

BTW, for your cold, I recommend something like actifed- something with a deongestant and an antihistamine to un-inflame your sinuses. When I have a cold or my sinuses flare up (which is frequent) I take half a pill in the morning and half a pill before bed, and I barely notice the symptoms. I buy mine at home in Thailand, where they make and market the 'old kind', but it sounds like you can still get the same mix of you look around in the States:

Actifed

 

[DEVILsSON]

Matt I am around there a couple times a week during day/early evening time so let me know.


Thanks. In the States u can no longer get the old kind you're talking about.

Been eating David's sunflower seeds with ton of sodium, so I am guessing I am retaining some water weight.

 

[Pro Killer]

I'm sure you don't need some weak ass person like me to tell you...... But Nice Log DS!

 

[DEVILsSON]

Thanks bro.

On the side note my calves have been cramped as a motha last few days, I had to walk on my tip toes around the house for a couple days. Foam rolling them didnt do all that much. Calf Raises are hardcore bros.
