You know, I never understood the term "Jacob's Ladder" until about five minutes ago. I was sitting on the dumper reading a new book, and all of a sudden it made since to me. In the book of Genesis, Jacob has a dream and sees a ladder stretching from Heaven to Earth. The angels of God are ascending and descending on it. In the book of Matthew when Jesus is recruiting Nathaniel he describes himself in a very similar way. In fact, he describes the things Nathaniel will see in Him, quoting the scripture from Old Testament. And then it made since to me. Jacob was dreaming about Jesus a couple thousand years before he became a man. The only bridge between Heaven and Earth! Cool stuff.
OK. so I guess I'm down to an average of one iron session per week until this whole traveling poo circus comes to an end. I'm positive that I'm getting fatter, but my blood pressure seems to be in check for the moment. At least as of a couple days ago it was kind of normal in a wonky me sort of way. Strangely, I'm not getting any weaker. However, I'm quite ready to get stronger.

yeah, that was a bit dumb, but I had some internal kinks that needed working out. I slobbered and cursed my way through the last five. Felt like a million bucks the rest of the evening. Props to Chase for sticking it out and spotting my back.

Yeah, i'm pretty sure you wouldn't get the right impression about the meaning of Jacob's ladder from watching the movie with that name.
Dang. i'm fairly confident i couldn't do 1 with 150. i do sometimes push the bar up. Multiple times.
