This poster was in the #basement one of the #coolest #restaurants on the #planet. #1995 was a great year for tunes. I am more into #badreligion than #pearljam but it would have been a great show. (at The Chef's Table)

So... went up to #745lbs on #squats today. Not too shabby, not as #deep as I would have liked but within striking distance. I #daydream about #800lbs but am too #chicken to try it. Still, not bad for a soon to be #45year-old #dude #gym💪 #claytonfitness #oldmanpower #gainztrain #barbarianpowerbuilding #goingtobesore @elleanaroy (at Clayton Fitness Inc)

#deadlifts went very #awesome today! What's up with that? That is my #suckiest #lift. Then I decided to pull additional #weight off the #blocks. You would think that would be #easier, but #no, it is not! #gym #weightlifting #sundayfunday #gainztrain (at Clayton Fitness Inc)

Wow... using the #100lb plates really changes the feel of the bar. 2 #reps on #squats with #725lbs. Not as deep as I would like because I set the safety #bars too high. Still... not too #shabby. #claytonfitness #gym #saturday #oldmanpower With @elleanaroy and as always, watching my back @law4953 (at Clayton Fitness Inc)
