AWPC World Record Deadlift

Masters 9 (80 to 84 years old)

 

Character Traits

I have set some world powerlifting records and have received some best deadlifter awards.

But I am most proud of my 3rd place in the Open (age not a factor) deadlift at the 2026 AWPC Championships.

Social Traits

I also think that what’s wrong with all of us

is that we don’t show enough love toward each other.

If You Change Nothing

Book of the Week

Think you know what it is all about. This book could challenge your beliefs.

 

Regardless, I don’t believe this book will provide the answer to what it is all about.

 

But it will give you things to think about.

 

What‘s It All About?

By Julian Baggini

Movie of the Week

If you have any appreciation of the art coming out of Paris during the 1920s, you have to watch this film.

I make a point of watching it once a year.

It will also make you want to visit Paris.

Midnight in Paris (2011)

The trailer doesn’t come remotely close to capturing the artists portrayed in this film.

People of the Week

Friends

I’ve mention this category of people a number of times because I feel these people are so important to one’s well being.

One of my friends brought over a birthday cake on my actual birthday.

It was a complete surprise!

Joke of The Week

Physical Traits

A little humor, actually most of us believe in a deload (Easy) week every fourth week.

You need to give your muscles and central nervous system a chance to recover from hard training.

Getting Rid of Clutter

Consider getting rid of duplicate or blurry photos, the unused coupons that accumulate in kitchen drawers, bank statements and other such items that are available on-line, as well as old newspapers and magazines. Try taking a photo of items that hold memories but are not being used and many documents can be scanned and discarded.

Book of the Week

Want to know what it is all about? This book will not provide the answer, but may help you figure it out for yourself.

What’s It All About?

By Julian Baggini

Illustrating his argument with the thoughts of many of the great philosophers and examples drawn from everyday life, Baggini convincingly shows that the search for meaning is personal and within the power of each of us to find. (Source: Back cover of the book)

Music of the Week

How do you like “Walk My Walk” by  Breaking Rust?

Please click on the link below to see the music video:

https://youtu.be/FmnfixpA9Cs?si=HWk6ZkwGK72R6RW1

Breaking Rust, a new artist on the scene, is topping charts … but he’s not a real person. He’s a computer-generated outlaw blues-country singer.

“Walk My Walk,” a song from Breaking Rust’s October EP “Resilient,” is the No. 1 song on Billboard’s Country Digital Song Sales Chart, a list of the most-downloaded tracks in the U.S.

Rust has a husky, soulful voice. AI images depict him as a manly cowboy-type with a chiseled jawline and stubble. He wears a dark hat with a bandana tied around his neck.

“Walk My Walk” has more than 3 million streams on Spotify, and Breaking Rust sports more than 2.2 million monthly listeners. His other tracks, “Livin’ On Borrowed Time” and “Whiskey Don’t Talk Back” are also top streamers. (Source : The Tennesseean)

Here is the real deal.
