Two Finger Death Punch

You'll be delighted to know that I nearly destroyed the tendons controlling my ring finger and my flipper offer finger on my right hand trying to pull my plump ass off the floor from a two finger pocket on my friends bouldering wall. I was completely cold, mostly drunk, and in the mood to show off because none of the skinny guys could do it. Apparently, none of the fat guys could do it either. I did make a good show of it though. The tendon sprain from my first two knuckles down to my elbow didn't really improve my performance on deadlifts yesterday. All the same, not a bad session.

Deads:
wu
390 x 5
415 x 5
440 x 5

Followed this up with a bunch of stuff I haven't done in a while.
Upright rows
DB shrugs
weighted situps
band pullthroughs

The weather has been amazing this week due to a hurricane in the gulf. This makes me very happy and not so sweaty.

Heehee! Amazing how powerful that instinct to show up the skinnies can be. Yesterday i hung those rings up here at school and got into it with this strong, ex-fighter here. Cranked out 10 pullups or so on two fingers each hand, then he did 'bout the same, so the on-lookers were like So how about with one finger? and i was like, eee, damaged finger. But i did it anyway. Too slippery to get more than one, and i was just fine with that.

Nice lifts, though, with a damaged hand. No way i could consider that kind of weight with a bum hand. i couldn't do that with perfectly fresh hands. i want to start DB shrugs again this week too.

You know it's funny how I used to be a skinny, and now I find myself sympathizing more and more with the fat guys. I hate being stuck in the middle... or do I? HHMMMMMMMMM...
