I have always done all of it. My Dad always did all of it. He fixed up tractors and cars in the winter when we couldn't pour concrete or lay brick and block because of the cold, and I was out there with him. We swapped the bad engine out of the work truck in an afternoon together, new clutch and everything, the replacement engine arrived in the bed of the truck it was going into. It's tough letting other people do what I can do, and frankly do better most of the time, just because I'm not permanently settled here and don't have the facilities. It feels unmanly.Skid wrote: ↑Wed Apr 24, 2024 7:50 pm I do most of my own maintenance too; just changed the timing belt in my daughter's Mini. However the older I get I sometimes take it to a shop for an oil change, especially on my diesel F250. Nothing like trying to catch 14 liters of hot oil spurting out the big drain hole on the back of an oil pan and missing the drain pan because it shoots out so far. Ford should have put the drain hole on the bottom.

Re: Hardartery - Recreational Outrage
Tuesday 4/30/24
Squats
225 x 5
315 x 5
405 x 5 x 2 sets
405 x 4 - the fourth rep slowed way down and I'm not supposed to be grinding at this stage
585 power curtsies
Seated Leg Extensions - Atlantis machine
stack x 13 x 2 sets
I was having some bar slippage issues, which is weird given that I don't low bar but the sweat was of profound quantity and there wasn't enough shirt to provide traction I guess. It was 98 degrees (36-37 C), but that is lower than it has been by a few degrees. The partials did not go any deeper than last time, but that's probably okay. The leg extensions felt a lot easier but I just gassed out at 13 reps, same as I really felt like I was just gassing out on the squats. This was likely my last squat session before I fly out and I doubt I will do any lifting in France so probably close to 3 weeks before I squat again.
Side note, I did an upper session last week that was not logged. The reps weren't there but 315 went easier than I expected on incline.

Re: Hardartery - Recreational Outrage
I had the same question. I was pretty sure incline but in my mind there was the possibility that you were just pressing those weights.Hardartery wrote: ↑Sun May 05, 2024 12:37 pmYep.

If/when I hit that in a pressing session, I expect more jubilation and excitement shall be forthcoming.DanCR wrote: ↑Sun May 05, 2024 1:37 pmI had the same question.
