    What about after Recovery?

    I once again feel power coursing through my core. Through my shoulders, into my hands. Some times, I even have to stare at my hands.

    I think a discussion about what it means to be poor could be had without it being political, because I'm fairly certain of what you're referring to.

    I can relate to that. Definitely gives a high that nothing else can give you. Only thing that comes close in my experience is a 2 stroke 800 sled going near vertical up the side of a mountain.

    I think when it comes to deadlift being shorter has its advantages. I don't have to lift the bar as far as someone who is 6' or taller.

    200 sized excavator with 2 buckets. Midsize sleeper truck and an old 10 wide, non-detach neck lowbed. Gotta be overweight on 5 axles, right?

    Exactly.
    I've seen people who were as tall as me that weighed less than 80lbs. You could see every bone in their body. They drank water from whatever source they could. Which didn't help matters any. Being poor or oppressed in America has a totally different meaning. When you have the means to change your life and you choose not to....you get no sympathy from me. I've seen poor and oppression because the people really didn't have the means to do otherwise. They could try to revolt, but they would be cut down instantly. If they tried to make a better life, it would be taken by someone else.....usually by force.

    Is this the sled you don't use anymore?

    Yep. Just been hard the last couple years. None of my friends can afford a sled or are too whipped by their wives to be allowed one. I usually go with my dad but our work schedules have clashed a lot and with me moving last year its been difficult. This winter I'll have it out on the hill.

    I can scale up to a 270 Hitachi/John Deere right now with a permit in AB (21K on drives, 28K on the tri). a 200 wouldn't need a permit unless the spare buckets put it over

    edit: that's on a 10' wide 50 ton Aspen scissorneck behind a winch tractor

    I know exactly what you mean. I'm in the same boat with bikes. I have one friend that rides with me......reliably anyways.
