Had to re-start bench program. Got to the gym friday and realized I forgot my key. Knew that would happen sooner or later! So I went home and did shoulders. Took the weekend off and got going again monday.
My winter workout is planned for me already. Stopped by a local farmer for trapping permission, and the first thing he asked me is if I wanted to make wood! I will have firewood coming out my ears! Thats ok. With the price of heating fuel, I have one less expence to worry about this winter. Could even sell some if need be.
Weight has been stuck around 195 for a while now. Time to review supplements.

Restarted bench program today. Must have lost a little more strength than expected. Had to adjust as I progressed. Thats what I get for not doing a 1rm test. Hopefully end up around 340 in 7 weeks from now. After this, I will not be doing much in the gym. Hunting and trapping will take priority till december. Thats ok, a good rest from the gym will be due by then. Trapping is a good workout in itself. Dont believe it? Tag along with a longline trapper for a day!

Stepped on the scale before my workout this morning. It said 200 even. Although it was after breakfast, and I still had shoes on, I got a hint of what 200 will look like!
Now if I could get my quads to grow, I`m sure my goal of being a "solid" 200 would be achieved a little quicker.

Set a new goal of benching 405 by the end of next year. Sounds lofty, but can be done if i can remain injury free. Sitting on about 330 now. Should be able to re-start bench press program after thanksgiving. Would like to start sooner, but hunting and trapping will take up a lot of time this fall. Especially in november. Looking forward to this challenge!
