Philo's The Republic
"A free people [claim] their rights as derived from the laws of nature, and not as the gift of their chief magistrate."
"But a Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored. Liberty, once lost, is lost forever."
"Arbitrary power is most easily established on the ruins of liberty abused to licentiousness."
Sweet! I used to canoe a lot in the Adirondack Mountains when I was a kid. I went kayaking for the first time last summer and loved it. Nice pictures, it looks a lot like the Chemung River here in NY.
ReplyDeleteBro, I benched 330 lbs for 3 reps then nailed 370 last week. All personal bests!
Congrats man! that's a great lift. My personal best bench was 385lbs. But that was at the height of my power lifting. My bench was always my weak spot, but I could nail a squat! At 21 I squatted 405 lbs for a set of 8, free weights. But that was a long, long, looooong time ago. LOL
ReplyDeleteI did go down stairs and hit the bench for the first time in about a year and a half the other day. Could still do 225lbs five times, which is about 10 lbs over my body weight, which made me happy considering how inactive I have been in the lifting arena.
Those mountains are beautiful. I road out to Vermont on my Harley with my wife and a couple friends for the 4th of July years ago. Carved our names into the railing of the walkway at Texas Falls. road out of the mountains in the middle of a storm so bad I swear I thought we were gonna die. LOL
Very cool Philo, yeah I hit most of my heavy lifts early 20's. At 225 my single rep max was 300 for bench, 400 squat, 500 deadlift.
ReplyDeleteI've been caught in 3 corporate layoffs in the last 5 years, so I have started lifting again to maintain sanity. :)
It's great going back after not lifting all the time. It's like starting out fresh, you make gains like crazy.
Man that sounds great, we haven't been on a good trip in a long time. I have family in Maine, spent some time there when we first got married and loved it. We were thinking of moving up there, but at the time I had a good job here in NY, so we ended up staying here. The New England states are beautiful though.
