I started working with 315 and adding one rep a week in July. The goal is 10 reps. Until today, I was not sure that was possible. #6 flew up. My spotter said he thought I had 8 in me. #5 was a little rocky and he tried to grab it. I yelled at him and said, “One more.” I must have been so pissed it gave me a little boost.
Impressive

September 17th is always a great day for me. I died on a car crash 22 years ago today. I stopped breathing for an estimated seven minutes and was in a coma for three days. My family was told if I lived, I would be in a nursing home the rest of my life. Two things saved my life. God was with me that day and brought me back. Second, the gym. I was in the best shape of my life at the time. I was 199 pounds with a solid “three pack.” I was in a time of my life when I could train daily like a mad man.
Today’s workout was a great start.
Who else can say they have death as a life experience?
I like to tell people it’s my second birthday. I’m the worst looking 22 year old out there.
Remind us yearly of this. Your lifting then protected you as it has since through lesser stuff. What a motivation for lifting weights. 3 pack then, 700+ club now.
Bet you’re not the worst looking 22 year old.

I was sick most of the week. I think I got ahold of some bad food on Tuesday. My gut is still not right. I even called in sick at work for day and half. I can’t recall the last time I called in.
I had zero strength today, so I made it a deload. I figure something is better than nothing. I hope tomorrow will be better.
Hope you feel better soon!
