Thoughts
Note to self: When Joe says don't do the grip workout if you're deadlifting the next day, listen to him, dumbass.
215, all for you Chillen.
Form on squats was atrocious though. Only my third or something time doing real squats (and not dumbbells) and I'm working with 1 rep maxs. The other meatheads at the
gym at 8pm on a friday night were like, 'That kid is gonna kill himself."
Story time: Dude rolls up on me while I'm squatting and says, 'You know, you can wear a belt, and if you need a spot, you just let me know. I don't mean to tell you what to do, but I've been watching you and I'm worried you're gonna gonna hurt yourself.' So I reply with, "Listen, I appreciate the concern, I really do, and that's very kind of you, you're a good guy, but right now I'm TRYING to hurt myself. It's max lower day and this is my stupid time. If I leave here without a limp, I'm going to have to cry myself to sleep. I suggest you work on your focus. [Yes, to the extremely fit, extremely beefy, extremely technical, and also quite decent and caring gentleman]. Is it just me or am I awesome?
I think he thought hard about smacking me one.
But all he said was, and I quote, "Uh, yeah, I'll do that. Good luck *heavy eye rolling here*."
Also, the ab circuit owned me roughly as badly as I expected. I think in about 3 months I may be able to do it
sans the remarking to themselves about damaged people and laughing evoked from pretty much every passer by.
I can't wait for the weekend to begin
I'm workin' all week long
I dream the days away
I wanna' sing my song
So let the music play
I have to get my kicks and fly tonight
And when the clock strikes 6 on Fri-day night
I need to blow it all away
Feelin' the Michael Gray. Love and fun to people everywhere.
