888S-OD OB deck, actually planned on those but dang this price!

@neph93 I go to a tech college with concrete, carpentry and surveying labs so maybe both work and play.

1st wash/~5months

this is what id say about NY state and working gear. no matter which part of the state of NY you live in–were 145,932 mi² vs 141299.39mi² of Japan--the northeaster winds will cut through your fecking soul. our sunny days are blinding and our overcast days are dominant. even a midsummer night may chill your bones. therefore a back up shirt is always stowed in your truck, and cold weather jeans keep us alive 6 months a year. but swinging a sledgehammer in december may require gusseted shoulders. so "fit" is crucial.

carhartt, et. al., are mass produced/overpriced junk. ironheart provides an economical alternative. spend twice a decade.

I thought about driving out saturday, getting to the venue around noon and hanging out till maybe 4. I'm almost 3 hours away. I'm down to drink some lunch

7-8 months daily wear. A soak a cold stretch and 4 washes.

97 cents at walmart in upstate NY. Woolite Dark was $10.47

lol@hella, respex paid. Im an east coast kid but my first stop (should there ever be one in Cali) is oakland, no doubt.

For my 2001 Mazda B series utility truck I have a Kenwood bluetooth deck, a 350 watt amplifier and four 6X8 speakers both by Rockford-Fosgate; in an extended cab with two facing rear pull down seats. With a max of 35, 19 is the last comfortable volume level I can use. Nothing seems to distort, even at higher volume levels. Total was about 850USD, but the only repairs I'll need will be speakers and the four wont be any more than 250USD.

Then an iPhone SE/bluetooth headphone (Jam Transit mini buds; 28USD bargain, 40USD normally) for the gym.

What is the relationship between starch and denim jeans? For fit predictability? For fading? For texture? For durability? Etc.

Finished day 2 of prehab for a fracture transverse spinous process C7 (those knobs sticking off the central column). 1X5 88% (120kg). Under or within my left Trap there's a floaty bone splinter.

Front squats 3X5 42-43kg, hanging/belt squats for mobility/range of motion. PVC overhead stretching and some barbell clean pulls from a knee high box.

4 weeks mon-tues; thurs-fri. similar light weight exercise focusing on execution/precision and integrity of positions of my shoulder girdle and core stability.

I don't do the powerlifting style squats of deadlifts, and rarely bench press (almost never). The measuring stick on DLs I was taught was that scraping the shins is caused by pulling to hard/soon, or being too reliant on the back too early. Shoulders forward allows the lower erectors to play the proper role of, well, erecting; in the isometric sense. As the barbell crests the quad-insertions points, just below hip lock out, the erectors play a huge role, but not vertically. Straightening up and standing "tall"–that last couple of centimeters of vertical completion of the DL is carried out by the glutes and traps. Between the knee and lock out, that vertical distance, "shoulders forward" demands isometric stability in the middle-back (especially the Lats, Rhomboids, and Lower-Middle Traps. We call this "sweeping" the bar. It is the physics of how we keep bar path variation to 0 in the transition from the 1st pull (appx. floor to just above the knee), to the 2nd pull (or lock out for powerlifters). "Knees through"-->"Big chest" (for posture: core-to-Lats/obliques vice grip on the "trunk"). this will cause the shoulders to internally rotate to free up the shoulder girdle to shrug the  barbell.

Simplified: lower spinal erectors should never be recruited to lift weight vertically. Nothing over 100kg, and that's elite level athletes. If you look at back raises, back extensions, glute ham raises, these movements aren't linear but arcing. even "good mornings" have an "f" shaped bar path

Showing off the most unique idea I've ever seen for a utility pocket

or is it these?

2016:
  -in the middle of 2 semesters-two colleges transition into 2 more semesters, each at a different college (the logistics ar a nightmare) 4 semesters in row at 4 different colleges
  -fractured Transverse Process C7 vertebrae

sorry about the girlfriend atm23

What kind of lifting do you do?

Early 30's I started moving heavy shit at the gym, and this is how:

6 Sets each/6 reps each. Add 5-10 kilos sets 3 and 4, and then again for sets 5 and 6. All in less than 60 minutes.
-Bench Press
-preacher curl
-chest supported row
-olympic squat
-dumbell overhead press
-dips

About 2 and a half years ago I started learning weightlifting; the snatch and the clean and jerk. I dont Crossfit at all. Just trying to get around to competing and struggling with a broken neck. Fractured C7 at the bottom of the 4th rep of a set of 5 @120kg squat (bw~75kg).

Our squatting went like this:
During the mass/strength gaining (initial) phase:
  [day 2 week 1]: 4X3  front squats followed by 4X5 back squats both at 70% 1RM 2 minutes rest max each between all 8 sets
            [week 2]                                        75%
            [week 3]                                        80%
            [week 4]                                        85%
            [week 5]                                        70%
  day 5)  each Saturday there's be a variation like low box squats (~5cm) new heavy triple PR and step ups single leg (holding two heavy dumbbells, so by plus 50-60kg) 24" box, new 5RM. 80% of that AMRAP (to failure), or work up to a new front/back squat PR.

***note, during this time there 2 works sessions a day, often HEAVY (4 exercise each 4X10 glute/ham work and some pulling like 4X10 chin ups and kb swings

Before I injured my neck we had transitioned:

[day 2 week 1]: 5X5 70% (this had a deloading effect)
        6              1X5 80%
  [day 2 week 2]: 5X5 80%
        [6]              1X5 82%
        [2]        [3]: 5X5 82%
        [6]              1X5 85% 
        [2]        [4]: 5X5  85%
        [6]              1X5 88%
        [2]        [5]: 5X5 88%

***still second sessions but it'll be 2X10 and 2X10, instead of 4 by 4X10

I'd take a different approach. I have an actual 28" waist. My quad-ham circumference is at least 24". Plus I have a black girl booty. I wear 29" 634-SV (which Giles let out a little in the thighs). Cold water stretching is my solution. I've asked a LOT of the outseam so I got them wet and cold wearing them and partial-squatted into the "top bucket" to get them taught on my quads, and directly massage the denim there. Pushing it out by putting the heels of my hands together, using my fingers to anchor, I press in and stretch out from the approximate center. There is approximately 0 "roominess", but because I can I can hike them all the way up to the crotch, I have freedom of movement (Giles calls Vulcan a stubborn denim). I'm not trying to catch a snatch ass to grass in these jeans.

So the point is, I look at the measurements. But I think Iron Heart could look at the possibility of "open waste-to-glute-to-thigh ratio" jeans. Specific "IH-ISJ", I dunno, IH- iron sports jeans. I understand how exclusory a fit like this would be (sweepingly irrelevant to most), but it'd be it's own corner of the market. And you know you start from average and only fit to larger than average. I've looked fairly exhaustively at pre-fab designs ($100-$350) and there is always a hefty sacrifice to make. Either in rise, oversized waist, taper(-less) options and so on. A higher back yolk combined with a little more fabric between the hip crease on the front down to the knee.

I have MANY friends that have to buy stretch denim. Or sacrifice form fitting by buying a bigger waist. Many of them complain (my teammate brandon used the word oppressive, lol) about not being able to get ahold of a really super pair of jeans to go out in like "regular" guys. Thing is, I'D buy them, at least a dozen people I know personally would buy them and I cant imagine they wouldnt sell out every time. Olympic weightlifting and bodybuilding (powerlifting not so much in that they often are just big, not big and extremely narrow in the waist. also, cycling, rugby, american football, rowing, gymnastics, etc. ad infinitum) are both iron sports that will INVARIABLY build extreme ratios. Now couple that with how many participate worldwide. Well, we all want put on that FIRE pair of jeans and go out on the town to turn the boys and girls heads.

Iron Hearts are for Iron Sports, whether you play with iron horses or barbells!

Edit: specifically at The Arnold and other fitness conventions. Athletes spend hours and hours doing photos and autographs and other press opportunities. Youtube fitness community is half/half actual exercise clips and lifestyle clips (from diet, equipment and supplement reviews to hobbies like fine dining, parkour, and motorcycling).

GREAT article you filthy junky!

This is a positive review of Doc's US but starts with a story about a model, the Affleck, that was never available through the US shipping. UK Doc's tells me to see if I can find an independent retailer. Cool. I find them at Barnet's. So aside from the fact that, after a size too big 'cross the pond exchange (no added shipping!), followed by another one with a popped stitching, then one with a nasty tension issue at the insole (bleached out stip from the crease). Now there are no more.

So I have this idea to leave a voice message to a man (forget his name) at the Portland, OR, USA HQ. No quibble, he asked me on my honor to ignore Doc's UK and he'd get me a boot that was worth more than what I paid for the Affleck (discont'd model). PLUS a care/conditioning kit. No shipping.
