3 week hump…
This morning I did chest again..it is amazing how quickly I am able to gain strength. I was kinda shocked at the weight I was able to use for 10-12 reps. Although, I am trying to load up more on my weight and bring down my reps in order to build some rock solid muscles. That is so hard to do for me..I am very delicate. My hands become crippled and all my joints are screaming at me. There is this main problem I have in my hand when I go heavy for shoulders, triceps, and chest. I think it’s a nerve that is getting pinchedright between my thumb and index finger on the soft part of my palm. It REALLY sucks because it makes it very hard to complete my workout (although I do anyway). Which is probably NOT GOOD. I can’t give up my goal for a little nerve problem though. If anyone actually reads this blog and knows what the heck that is, then please enlighten me so that I try to fix the issue. Thanks.
Anyway, I am getting kinda out of control with my grazing so my goal for the next week is to get that under control. I also haven’t found a sound routine yet. I have almost got it down, but if I want to be able to work out with anyone, it seems I have to go with their scedule, and I kinda had other plans. Truthfully, I really would like to have a solid workout partner, possibly even a mentor, but in this area those chances are pretty much null. It gets kinda lonely working out by yourself for hours a day, then going home and doing chores (by yourself) for the rest of the day.
Eeek, I am turning this into some crazy sad psych session. NOT TODAY!! Today is wonderful. I am super high from my workout and feeling GREAT. I can’t wait to go clean my house and watch the foodnetwork in HD while I plan dinner.
Have a good one too!!

How much weight are you pulling for chest? I understand the crippled hands part–especially when you are holding 50 lbs dumbbells over your body while your hands are shakey and your trying not to drop it in your face! It is def. hard to work out on your own–I would suggest finding a partner who has the same strength as you so you can push each other! Good luck with all your goals!
