I did it. Back to the gym.
It was right after therapy. I swear the woman breaks me down intentionally. It’s 10 minute drive to the gym from her office, I was still crying when I got there. She told me that at my next Doc appointment, I need to ask for a higher dose of anti-depressants. Apparently, breaking me down is too easy.
So I was there in the wrong frame of mind. Sadness can make you weak. You should try it sometime. Hold your arms out (make a T with your body), think the saddest thought you can and then have a friend press your arms down to your sides. You should try to resist while you think these thoughts. Your frined will find it easy to press your arms down. Then do it again while thinking happy thoughts especially thought about when you did something your are proud of. Your frined will not find it so easy this time. I saw a weak old man do it to Derek Engler. He played fo-line or the New York Giants when they won the Super Bowl in 2000(?) or 99. His positive thought was the touch down play that went through him. O don’t remember the weak thought, but the old man pressed this giant’s arms down like the giant wasn’t even trying.
So, here I am in the gym, with teary eyes trying to lift. I was embarrassingly weak. Shit stuff I did for warm ups I couldn’t do the sets for a real work out. I was doing 3×10 squats at 225 with a quarter rep between each rep. (that’s a serious work out with those quarters) All I did was 1×5 at 205 with quarters.
By the end, I had left it all on the floor, but these were not the lifts I was doing 2 months ago.
The good news is that a bunch of the new tunes came up on the iPod. So that cheered me up. Hungryy for Heavan by Dio. If you only knew… No, I don’t want to die, I just want to go see Audrey. It would be nice if there were visitation rules or at least a phone call once a year.
Surfacing by Slipknot. F*** you all! that will pump you up. It’s an angry song. I believe that song ws playing just before the Premier took his oath to enslve all of us in equal poverty. You goot alove that Joe the racist Biden was actually in charge for 10 minutes. He’s the handler you know. There are no elitist democrats who honestly believe a black man can hold the White House efficiently. Not like us conservatives who have a dozen that we have lined up only to get shot down by dumb liberal voters. Michael Steele was being groomed for the Presidency, but he MA idiots who vote blindly voted against him and derailed the dream. The good news is no one shot Obama before the oath. Could you imagine Biden in the big chair. We would all have to move to Australia to escape the hypocrisy, and elitism, and aristocracy - and don’t forget he’s a racist.
Anyway, these are the thoughts in my head my head while trying to work out. I was embarrassingly weak, but…. I was the big in the gym. The DB’s at my end of the rack were all mine, no one elses. The other guys were working out with light weights. I didn’t see anyone breaking a sweat. Then there are the lifts that I do. These guys have apparently never seen bent over DB rows before. Or Arnold Presses. The squat rack was a bit confusing, but they have a sweet neck pad, it is so nice, it makes the changes of gyms more worth while than the money. It actually has a valcro strip to hold it on. Lifetime had these pad the just sor tof hung there. I would spend so much time trying to keep them on the bar, it was a real pain in the ass.
The dead lift rack keeps the bar too high though, so I had to drag it to the middle of the floor to be able to get low. I saw one guy doing DLs with 95 lbs. When he was done, I warmed up at 135 and then did 205 for 2×10.
By then end I felt good about myself and my weak work out. I wonder I will run iinto any big guys on the weekends or nights when I go? It was good to be the king for an hour. I went home and got depressed for a couple of hours.
