Had a really good session last night in the gym. I was able to rep 205 on the bench a solid 4 times with no spotter and deadlift 225 x 5. Both a personal bests. I know I looked like an idiot but I practiced my squat form also with a whopping 95lbs on the bar. I need to get this form down- it is very important to me to increase my range of motion and to be able to do a complete, deep squat. After I left the power rack 2 kids came in and 'squatted'. They were doing 1/2 squats at best and kept throwing more weight on the bar. I wanted to go up to them and give them lessons and tell them the weight on the bar only matters if the form is good... I did not- oh well.
I am not hurting today so I di something right. 
After the weight I went on the arc trainer for 45 at interval 6. Kept to the plan to keep the strides per minute at 110 at the hard interval and 125 at the easy- it worked and did not tire me out as quickly as previous. I have good endurance but I need to build into it sometimes.
All in all a good workout.
The crap from yesterday morning was resolved and all is well with the world.
I slept well, am off today- have errands to run for a few hours later this morning- but really all is good.
I am finding a good place in life now, I think.
Anyway-
Good morning to whomever reads this. | Good for you, B. That's a really great attitude to have. If you could bottle and sell it, we could make a fortune. (And yes I said we. Lol, a girl's gotta try!  ) |

Rep Power: 24 | | So here I am at the end of May the exact same weight I was at the beginning of May. Measurements have not changed in any real way and I am still a fat tub of crap. I really need to get my ass back on track or I am going to gain all this back again and look even worse this time. I need to stop feeling sorry for myself and the various little pulls and strains and do whatever I can do to get myself in shape.
I look like rolled crap and I am tired of it. Today this all starts again. I am going to write down what I eat and keep under a yet to be determined number, I am going to the gym 6 days a week and doing what I can. This is bullshit and I know I am better than this. I am falling back into the same patterns I had before and this scares the crap out of me.
This needs to and will stop now.....
Yesterday sucked for a variety of reasons- not going to go into any of them and it took the miracle of my wife being pregnant to get me into anything resembling a good mood.
I dropped into one of my finks yesterday- not sure why these happen. I find myself very melancholy and distant at these times. Interesting times for reflection but I get so pissed off at things..... this is officially one of them. | | |
