Still Pluggin’ Away (New PR)
So I’m still pluggin’ away in the weight room and on the football field. Football, to this point, has been fun for a change. I’ve had an opportunity to play a host of different positions and seem to have excelled at all of them. I was told after our last game that I have been promoted to starting DT witch is pretty cool. The last time I was in this role was 2004 and I had two good knees. It’s nice feeling like I’m back to where I thought I should be.
Last night was an interesting one in the wight room. I had a hell of a night on the bench when I started cold at 225 lbs and went for 44 reps. I then ended the set by pushing 495 lbs for a rep. It’s been quite a while since I was able to go that high on the bench. Also, the 44 reps is now my new PR. My previous was 43 about three years ago, so I thought it was pretty shocking.
On that note…we’ll see what this weekend brings when we clash with the defending NAFL chamipions at our place. Apparently we beat them at their place when I wasn’t yet part of the team, so hopefully we can get the job done and head to the NAFL playoffs with a head of steam. Stay tuned…
