I Poo

I had myself a nice little gym session this morning. Shredded the old guns, I did. Today was the first day that I started to see some real improvement in the new crew. Not that anyone was significantly stronger than they were three weeks ago when we started, but everyone was pushing themselves. There was even a glimmer of competition. If we can keep that up, its going to be a blast-ee and some guys are going to get man-strong. As for myself, I've decided that a 400lb raw bench is within reach. I know I can pull 500 off the ground easily if I would just focus on it a bit. That gives me a 900 lb base in two lifts. I'm working my squat back up, but I'm doing it very slowly. I'm really focusing on perfect form in my squat. It's going to take a little time to put any big numbers up on that lift, but I've got time. As it turns out, turning my attention away from competition and focusing on lifting is making me a stronger human. And its more fun. And people actually want to work out with me. Go figure.
