Title self explanatory. I've finished Jack Carr fiction books including Cry Havoc. Looking for similar - had a similar post a while back, trying to further narrow down. Thanks.
I definitely hope the kid comes back, but he has to, has to work on ball security. You can't have 3 fumbles for every 100 carries from your marquee RB. I mean, we've had stud runners that have gone seasons with no fumble on much higher carries. Again, I absolutely hope he comes back, but can't deny this is a concern.
wait, but the OM people said that Lane only calls a few "shock plays" every game and really doesn't have that much to do with the offense on a play to play basis.

I'm old, Read the Clancy books as they came out. As much as I like Jack Carr, Clancy on a different plane as an author.

Family fav of ours. Mom and Dad went there on special occasions when in med school in the '50's and when they would take us whenever we visited NOLA. Went there maybe a year or so ago when visiting - wife is from NOLA and it was her first time there believe it or not. Very sentimental for me. Pretty much like I remembered it from the 70's and 80's.

What are your goals that you’re trying to break through the plateau towards?

I let this thread lie for a couple of days and looked at the replies and realized I'm making the mistake of not really having a goal. Just going in there and working hard and trying for progressive overload. Not frickarounditis - I'm working hard, but no real goal per se.

Functional strength without injury and good metabolic health is what I'm looking for. I feel good about my grasp on the diet and that side of the equation is on cruise control, so that thakes care of the metabolic health part. Maybe I don't need to worry about progressive overload? Again, I'm not trying to get huge and that just isn't my body type anyway.
quote:

i mean what is the goals? i mean what are you looking for?

I reflected on that and thought, damn that was a stupid post that I made when I was frustrated after finishing a workout. Only goal is to look good and be fit, I'm happy with that, low body fat, good functional strength. I should probably concentrate on staying fit without pushing to injury, which I have a habit of doing.

i mean you are 57 and knocking out multiple sets of 10 on pullups and chins and sets of 15 on pushups with ease.....you are damn strong for your age and size

You were the guy that got me back into the gym 4 years or so ago and introduced me to Greyskull and PPSA. I had a setback last summer with a torn meniscus I had surgery for in the fall followed by a tear in my lat from going ham on the upper body while I was out on leg work and basically took 7 months off of lifting and saw my gains nearly vanish. Corrected my diet and got back in the gym and feeling good again.

quote:

are you in a home gym or are you in a commercial gym? if at home what do you have available?

Both, though I don't need the commercial gym anymore. I keep a membership at Anytimefitness in my neighborhood because I know the owner and for when I travel.

I have at home a Rogue pullup bar mounted to the wall, a bench/rack setup with an olympic barbell, trap/hex bar with enought weight to do what I need, dumbells and treadmill.

Add the squats and deadlifts for overall strength, increase in muscle building hormones and kickstarting your central nervous system.

I train these one day a week each (regular squats and quad bar dead lift). I don't push those too hard because back is dodgy.
No more Jack Carr worlds to conquer. Any suggestions for espionage/special operations/revenge killing themed works other than Lee Child's Reacher series?
I was surprised to come across an acknowledgement from Jack Carr at the end of one of his James Reece books. Apparently they share a mutual respect related to some shared experiences related to intelligence communities and (coming as a shock to me) conservative political beliefs.
57M 5'9" 147lbs. I'm on "my own plan" because I've just had to do what I've had to do to stay uninjured. I've had a litany of injuries over the last 3-4 years running Grayskull and various PPSA plans. I'm not trying to get jacked. I just want to be strong and healthy in my latter years and keep a nice aesthetic. I have good definition in chest, arms and abs from what you see below, not sure what to do from where I am now. No supplements othere than creatine 10 gm/d in split doses. Protein intake is 100-140 grams/d depending on schedule.

Here is my upper body routine:
Morning before leaving for work - weekdays only: Unweighted Pull ups 3 sets 10, Chin ups 3 sets 10, Pushups 6 sets 15. This is my no CNS fatigue get the blood flowing

3 upper lift days evenings:
Curl Bar curls 10@65, 8@70, 6@75, 6@80 (failure)
Weighted pullups 5@20# plate x 4
Shrugs 10@165 x 4
Yates Row 10@85 x 4
Pushups 20 x 4
Skull Krushers 6@70, 5@75, 4@80, 4@80 (failure)
Abs 12 sets 40 second leg raise holds

I have been stuck here the last two weeks...take a week off? reset at lower weights?

I can't do overhead press or bench because my left AC joint gets so inflammed (had a mumford procedure to clean out the joint and shorten the clavicle when I had labrum/RC surgery on right shoulder in 2015, I think my left AC joint needs cleaning out too).

He's the best lineman we had this year

Well, that ain't saying much. But I agree, and I hope he stays.

UGA has controlled the clock all game.

You have to get lucky in any instance to have a chance with 4th and 2 from your own 14, but damn even if you get it, still have to drive the whole field essentially.

Punt the ball, maybe UGa muffs it, or you get a defensive stand, get the ball back and Ryan Williams goes 70 for a TD.

Again, chances dim any way, but that just put a fork in it.
I guess they wink-wink know they are in the playoff and doesn't matter how bad they get hammered. Win probability low either way, but just down 14 with the way anything can happen, I see that as reckless.
never fails, penalty here, penalty there, zebra in the right place at the wrong time, lol. I'm sure its just coincidence, but damn it always seems to happen.
Delusion...unless someone is from there. It is no better of a job than LSU and arguably not as good of a job. They are applying the Saban situation to Kiffin. My belief is that Saban would not have left LSU for another college job, and if the timing had not been as it was, would have readily returned instead of going to Tuscaloosa. Again, my opinion but that is based on things I've heard the man say, not any kind of insider info, just what he has said publilcly.
57 y/o M - I take 10gm/d in two divided doses. Other than supplementing dietary protein and a probiotic, this is the only supplement I take. I feel like it helps in the gym and not sure with cognitive function as I havent' noticed any issues, but am taking it there as a preventative. I think it is a huge bang for the buck supplement in general.

I'm not gonna leave a sham review, but I would guess that the number of folks that have had a bad experience at any Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep/Ram dealership is quite high :rotflmao:

Their players for the most part got paid to transfer from other schools. Hard to feel too bad for them


That is true and an excellent point. Innocence is long lost in CFB and I think the compensation should at least in theory ease the pain, though there are some things you just can't buy.

It is a damn shame that as it appears, the staff is going to be left in a shambles heading into the playoff run. My oldest daughter (no pics) is an Ole Miss grad (started at LSU and transferred for a good reaason), but me, my wife and three other kids are either LSU alums now or will be by next May. It runs deep in our blood and I never root for other SEC schools unless it directly helps LSU.

That being said, I take no joy in how this is playing out. And I don't blame our new coach - I'm ecstatic and have the highest of expectations for him and don't know that I would've wanted anyone else that is remotely available.

I will still enjoy rooting against all the SEC teams that will be in the playoff and will take great joy in any loss, though now, I just feel pity and sympathy for Ole Miss, though I will say pretty much only the players and one OM alum/fan in particular - not most of the fan base or university in general. But I do feel the fault lies in structure of the calendar for playoffs, signing day and xfer portal. No LK's fault, thought he will be made a villian, as will LSU.

I'm ready for him to be in front of a podium and be able to stick a fork in this deal.
