I'm fat, lazy and stressed out. Otherwise, life is good. :)
Merry Christmas, ya'll!

Kellan
Ok. Finally have the time to post a few pics up. They're not so good, but they'll have to do. The little bugger is adjusting life on the outside quite well. He's actually sleeping for four to five hour stretches at night. I can live with that.

FAIL
I don't know if it was a poor warm-up, infant induced insomnia, an altercation with my wife, or a combination of all, but the inertia of the weights overwhelmed me.
Bench press:
285 x 5
325 x 3
365 x 1 miss
365 x 1 missed again.
Kind of a drag to miss a weight I've his several times in the past. Nevertheless, I'm going to blame it on anything else in the universe other than myself and move on. Tonight is deadlift. Hoo-ray.
I woudl have some pics of the wee one up by now, but a couple days ago we got like three snow flakes and it brought down the internet at my house. Quality system, that is. I'll get them up soon.

Squeaky the sleep depriving mouse.
wow. I've forgotten what it's like to sleep on two hour shifts through the night. There is a good reason God makes them very cute when they're new. All is well, though. It even snowed today, which brought back memories of a better place to be. I remember when I lived in a house with a working heater. Ah, the good ol' days. Oh well. The gas heater in the gym works, and that's what really matters!
Squats:
390 x 5
445 x 3
490 x 1
So, the heaviest squat I've done was 505 in competition wearing a squat suit and knee wraps. I'm pretty sure I can beat that now without the gear. I'm really starting to enjoy squatting more than I ever have. Always in the past, my low back was the weak link. I knew I could push a ton with my legs, but I would bow my back and fold every time I loaded the bar up. Which made me really nervous about pushing my squat weight. Interestingly, I've increased my volume of heavy dead lift work over the last year which has apparently strengthened my back at least to the point of supporting what my legs will push. It's pretty cool to feel it all coming together.
I'll get some Kellan pics up soon.
