Making progress…..just about!
As I said before I’m trying to gain strenght and keep my weight as it is. Last week I was hitting the gym pretty hard, with Dave, all heavy lifts. But I wasn’t showing any signs of change. If anything I was falling behind.
I got worried, and Dave wasnt helping: "you cant expect to lift more when ur not gaining weight!"
Monday-Thursday was spent gyming it with Dave, I was determined to show him I could make this happen. But I just couldn’t get into it, couldn’t get a tempo started. From Monday to Thursday he kept nagging me and lecturing me on "how my goal wasn’t happening"
Friday-rest day.Had a rugby match so no gym. As usual I was left to warm the bench(which I did pretty damn good ) and was subbed on with 10 minutes to go….by then we were losing 23-12. Of course I gave it my all but the score remained 23-12.
Friday evening was spent with the team in the pub…drinking our depression away.
Worst week ever I was thinking, but Saturday morning redeemed everything.Doing heavy lifts on upper body with Dave, no progress with me until bench press. This was the one for me, I had it in my mind that I was gonna do it, gonna make progress on this last lift.
I had lifted 125kg before for a 1 rep max, decided to try 130kg-see what would happen?
Damn man! Amazing! The easiest lift I ever made. I couldnt believe it. I looked at Dave afterwards and asked "did you give me a spot?"
"No, why?"
"Caz that was piss easy!"
Best morning ever
