Way to fuck up your big single...









...by doing a double with it. Nice job, especially given that you knocked about 1500 calories/day off your diet in the past couple of days.

The lift off was key. It was nice not having to re-adjust my back like usual.

Thanks. I'm very pleased with it! Yeah, i've gotten the idea out of my head that PR's are found in Cookies and sandwiches... for 5 weeks it's mind over matter. Thermo's and CEE do help

Today I've had more carbs already than the past few days.

Those were off low carb days though. Looking forward to a nice pulling session tomorrow. My back feels out of alignment so i'll have to do some self cracking on my roller.

nice pressin sarge!. is this the first time you've really pushed these? you should see a nice carry-over to your normal grip bench.

Thanks Enigma. Nope.

I've been Close Grip Bench Pressing for a good while now... since back in Sept. I think.

It's all I do... I've been pushing CGBP since then, the alternating (3 week) rep scheme works great for me.

Random gym conversation - Networking:

This guy came up to me while I was inbetween sets, pacing. He's seen me around that gym since I was 15 and working there at ~140lbs. He went on to say how he still remember me just being a skinny kid, ect.. and asked how much weight i've put on over the past 2 years. I just threw out a number "20lbs ... i bulked up got fat, leaned out, ect.. blah blah." Told him how I learned how to eat. Every meal is Thanksgiving I said. lol, he liked that idea.

Well we got to chatting about what i'm doing with school and for work now. And he goes "Yup you gotta decide if you want to make money or be happy" That's it, in a nutshell. That's the point I'm at right now, deciding if I want to make money or be happy doing something I'm passionate about.

Went on to talk about how a gym has such a diverse community of people from all walks of life and is basically a great place to network (Doctors, Lawyers, Teachers, The trash man, all sorts). He met his mentor there and that's how he's gotten on the carrear path that he's taken.

I'd say it was only a couple minute conversation but it got me thinking...

I'm going to start taking out my iPod more and socialize, it's all about timing and this guy talked to me at the right point in time. Perfect timing actually.
