Moving away from pressing heavy weight and into more of a conditioning level of pushing weights. Maybe some work on fundamentals later after the kids settle down for the night.

Around 20 lbs. I know, not insurmountable. But not fun. Remember, I'm old, and I like wine. And carbs. And sugars. Well, you get the idea.

Man, that would suck. Cutting weight would probably be one of the single hardest things for me to do, ever. Especially something like 20 lbs. What's sad is I know I need to lose some weight; its just not something I'm good at.
