Phred

Thanks for the beer posting! I will most likely go and check it out!

Hey Phed, yeah I've been in a down cycle lately, can't force the quirky fetishes. I do check in here and there. Funny, whenever I see something specialty beer or bacon related I think of you. Glad you can use the info. I saw mZ last week, it was great to see her. Merry Christmas and New Year to you too! Cheers!

thanks for stopping checking in BTW.

What's happened to them?

Not much, just the standard easy bruising.

You had me worried there. I thought you had a horror story.

Phred did you have your session with Mistress Tran. Did she look spectacular dressed in a weight lifting outfit. I think she would but would love the details if you succeeded.

Not yet. I only get to the FF about once every 2 months. Having a session with Mistress Zhao this Saturday, planning to see Mistress Tran and bring her a new outfit probably end of January, early February. I'll keep you posted.

BTW, thanks for friending me!

oh, here's one for you...http://www.baconfreak.com/

Awesome site, Dude! Rehab is much better now, getting stronger every day. I'm finally getting back to see Mistress Zhao in about a week, very excited, it's been way too long.

Good for you! and nice that you get to see mZ, I hope this great weather holds out for you when the day comes.

Hey Phred. Thanks for the nice words on my thread.

I'm looking forward to some more of your work and restaurant antics.

How is that restaurant working out?

Got some more work antics I'm posting. Actually, it's an ice cream store, seems to be going OK. No new craziness there, though.

Phred, sorry i took so long to answer this. Hope Your rehab is going well. i had been going to PT 3x's a week cruising along when all of a sudden I seemed to be going backwards. Perhaps too much, too soon?? Went to DR. Wed and going back in for surgery on Monday. Shoulder is frozen!!! WTF??? i am leaving for New Mexico on Thursday for 2 weeks. Can't catch a break. Be well

I had rotator cuff surgery last week and my right arm is pretty immobile. Looks good, though. Going back to work Monday, not sure how I will do. Dying to make a speedy recovery and get down to the FF - started exploring new territory of pain with mZ and I don't want to let it rest too much .

Oh, I wish you a speedy recovery. Take care of it and don't rush it, especially at the gym. I was thinking of your "new territory" statement, I actually create my own adrenaline rush preparing for that. Do you?

My buddy is very conservative - sling for 4 weeks, then gentle PT. Probably get back in the gym in a week or two, but only for legs and light cardio. Agree with you on the adrenaline rush thing. I've been doing the same thing at the FF for months, so I asked mZ to try some new things with me. It's really been on my mind a lot lately so I'm chomping at the bit to keep pushing forward. Getting bored just sitting around at home restricted to using only my left arm.

I recently discovered that staring into the eyes of my tormenter really attenuates the pain and makes it much more intense, which is why I kept coming up to you and getting in your face. It wasn't that I needed comforting, I just really wanted to get close and stare into your eyes while I was experiencing the pain. Maybe that's weird, I don't know.

Did you know that dogs stare at their masters becuase it's their way of building an emotional connection.

IS there a subtle implication that when we submissives stare at you Mistress Tran that we are trying to build an emotional connection? Personally I think it is because you have awsome beauty.

...wearing a black pinstripe double-breasted suit, Fedora, carrying a Tommy Gun and coolly scanning the room with your devilish eyes:

I do look good in a Fedora!

Thanks! Hell, let's make every Friday that National Holiday! Let's start a petition.

You are never invading my space Phred. Had a SLAP tear and full thickness tear of supraspinatus. 3 hours of surgery and back to work in 5 days. He won't let me start PT for 2 weeks though. I was in more pain before the surgery so I am glad it is done. Thanks Phred ttys

That's great! My guy won't let me go back to work for 2 weeks, then I'm on restricted duty for about 4 weeks after that. My bench probably won't be back to normal for 6 months.

Trying to squeeze out one last powerlifting contest before I get scoped and sidelined. Trying to prove I really don't need a supraspinatus anyway ! Good luck with your recovery!

Absolutely - 100 percent!

GULP! Spoke too soon, not quite sure what I've gotten myself into?!?!?

You already agreed! Im keeping you to it!

Don't ask why, just say thank you Phred!

You know what? I did see that, saw the firefighters, heard it was Chinatown and figured it must indeed be that firehouse. Wow, small world, right?

Haha, thanks! I posted it for an upcoming session with mZ, mJung, and mTran. I hope we have a lot of laughs.

I use them on the deadlift and benchpress - helps with strength. Here are some examples:

I'm also working on a little lifting project for Mistress Zhao, and I finally have all the pieces! Hope to do what I need to do in the next few weeks!

Glad you had Monday off. TTYS.

Wow! That first guy has some crazy barrel chest. It looks somewhat grueling. I lift right around 4 times a week. I'd like to switch it up from time to time to incorporate some more power lifts. I already do bench, deadlifts, and squats, just with higher reps (8-15). Good luck in the contest!

When I left my session, I heard this on the radio. Love the lines "Let the beatings begin, distributor of pain, your loss becomes my gain. Anger, misery, you'll suffer unto me." Mistress Tran, you will always be my Harvester Of Sorrow http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyQDr4ZBvAA

Im glad I could help you work through some internal struggles....it's a relieving and liberating feeling.

hahaha, now that was ridiculously funny and so true! thanks

I have a friend who makes Morrissey candles....looks just like him...and I got one made for a friend of mine. It was awesome.

That's sweet! I was actually thinking of incorporating candles into our next session, since I would like it to be "Goth"-themed. I'm trying to plan for the end of December - looking forward to a very dark, slow, tortuous session. Scouring the house for my Santa-thong!

Well i have great music that would go for our session!

Thanks Phred....I loved it

Unfortunately, no. I keep getting close to 500lb squat and deadlift, but it has eluded me so far. Max squat is 445lb and max deadlift is 457lb. I can do 505lb bench squats and partial deadlifts, but I'm working my ass off trying to hit the 500 mark. I want to make MZ proud!

The heaviest I've ever done has been just standing in the squat position with legs and back locked for 15 seconds with 610lbs, but haven't even tried a partial with that yet. Back and core need to be much stronger to attempt that weight.

Bench sucks - max is 315lb on a good day. MZ and MT can attest to the fact that I have an underdeveloped and small chest, which makes benching difficult for me.

Hey Phred! finally got back online today. Work has been a hassle, the whole week's been a hassle, but many more are suffering much worse than me. All's pretty much ok, except for those damn gas lines, arghhh! Thanks for asking, and I hope you're okay too.

We actually made it through unscathed. Power went out Monday to Tuesday, but my generator kicked in and got us through. Trying to plan a FF session in December - can't seem to get enough of the Tran/Zhao combo . Glad to hear you are OK.
