Once again my time management sucks. I wanted to get a new box squat max but I seemed to blow my load when I got to 365. My technique broke down a little which bothered me because it felt good up until then. Actually it felt great. Ran out of time before they close at 0900. At lease I got something done. I officially bench more for reps than I squat which is pathetic and I gotta fix it soon. I still think my squat max is higher than my bench, but either way they shouldn't even be close.

"These are the boys of Pointe du Hoc.

These are the men who took the cliffs.

These are the champions who helped free a continent.

These are the heroes who helped end a war." 

— Ronald Reagan speaking on the anniversary of the D-Day landings / 1984

 

Obviously not a training quote and obviously talking about some of the greatest rangers this country has ever produced. I missed an anniversary quote yesterday because I didn't train so its a day late. I didn't spend a lot of time trolling social media or watching news yesterday but sadly I don't remember seeing one facebook or twitter post regarding D-Day. Sad. Guess I'm guilty too because this is all I posted, but sad that in 2013 we seemed to be more concerned with how some kardashian skanks pregnancy is going or more preoccupied with celebrating our presidents history of never having a real job than celebrating real heroes who liberated countries from evil and saved our way of life. Fought their asses off and died so the government can monitor daily phone records and drone strike its own citizens... sorry grandpa.
