Life, as I recently told a certain someone, has a nasty habit of coming at you fast and hard, and usually without any warning. I have, over my life, realized that it’s not about what happens to you, but rather how you deal with and, most importantly, overcome the challenges that present themselves.
My recent run-in with identity theft has been all but resolved at this point, and I’m back on track with everything. I still feel upset that someone came into possession of my information, but, shit happens, and all’s well that ends well, right?
I’ve been blessed with having some very awesome people in my life, all of whom have always been more than willing to help me when I need something, usually money, and because of that, I’ve only ever had to really be worried about getting by a couple of times. I realize that I’ve been very fortunate to have those people and those resources, and so, to them, to you, I say “Thank you.” I may not always show or express my appreciation, but know that what you do does not go unnoticed.
On to lifting. Went into the weight room yesterday with the intention of either benching or push pressing, depending on the status of our newly reupholstered bench pads (which look pretty damn awesome). The pads had yet to be reinstalled, so I figured I’d hit the push press. However, I realized that the student weight room was open, and that they had benches, so I’d be good to go if I went down there and used their equipment. To be honest, I felt a little out of place wearing my MSU Strength shirt, but really, I didn’t give a shit. Haters gonna hate.
Overall, the session went well. I got in, got off, got out, so to speak.
Bench: 190×3, 215×3, 254×9
Floor press: 135 (+40lbs chain)x5, (+80lbs)x5, (+120lbs)x5, (+160lbs)x5
Blast Strap pull-aparts: BWx3x6-8
Push-ups: BW (+40lbs chain)x2x25-30
Everything felt great and the weight moved well.
Tomorrow’s a squat day. Not looking forward to that.
I’ve been considering getting a tattoo. Nothing crazy or outlandish, just something simple. I was thinking a solid black band around my right forearm, up toward the elbow. Yes, it’s in a visible spot, I know. But something simple like that can be covered up with sleeves without any problem. Plus, it’s unoffensive, so if it was exposed, I should be alright.
Thoughts?
I’ve also been thinking about getting into gear, meaning powerlifting gear. I feel this is something I should talk with Coach Frey about first, just to get his impression/take on it. Ultimately though, it’s my decision. We’ll see.
That’s all. Thanks for reading.
Stay yoked and loked.
