Chest and AB Day and Blogging
Ive decided to start blogging more often just to basically clear the thoughts not that anybody ever reads this dumb thing anyway haha and also since i made a commitment to myself to start being more organized im going to use this as an attempt to do so by charting my workouts daily. Today was my Chest and Abs day. I started off doing a set of dumbell presses to warm up i recall using the 45’s?? Anyways i did 4 sets of 8-12 reps starting with the 70’s and moving up to the 100’s. On my last set i barely got the 8th rep up but i can remember a very short time ago seeing other people in the weight room dropping the 100’s on the ground and thinking dang thats impressive so i guess i’ve come a little ways. I’ve found myself reading other’s blogs and i dont think there can be any more of a motivation to see others progress and what all they go through to make it happen. Hope everyone has a great week and gets better 1 day at a time. For those of you reading this and dont know i work at a boys home 6 straight days 24 hours a day yesterday a boy that i had grown attached to left because of bad decision making and it liked to have killed me. I took him under my wing sort of and took him to the gym 5 days a week. Going back in the gym today wasnt the same and as a matter of fact it was basically all i had thought about. Roger i know your going to read this so keep your head up and im gonna miss you asking me how many reps i wanted you to do. I wish you the best.

strong work on the bench at your weight! impressive. more impressed by the wrk you do at the boys home. really admirable, sound like you’ve got a great head on your shoulders too.
drop by my workout journal sometime and post some feedback (not as much there this week cause time is limited on the road for work). I’ll check back up on the blogs here to see what support I can provide on your workouts, or better yet start a journal in forum!
