Iron Game
Every day is an opportunity to better myself. Me versus iron. At least one more repetition or five more pounds is the goal each day. This game is not waged simply as an egotistical endeavor, but rather for the quest of self-improvement.
When my achievement is thwarted, I look no further than in the mirror at myself. I am responsible for my own fate each day with the iron.
For the experienced to break through plateaus, an undescribable threshold for pain is needed. Such intensity is a necessity driven by sheer determination. Invoking an incredible amount of pain to my mental limit and beyond is a necessity. Pushing myself beyond such limits, beyond what I dreamed capable is the only way I can progress in this game.
I write this today after a very tough day encompassed by many things I cannot control. I smashed my body in the weight room as a release, leaving not a single ounce of energy behind. The iron will always be and 300 lbs is always 300 lbs

Hey I enjoyed the blog. I have to get better at doing like you said trying to add each and every week. I get a little to comfortable I think and do the same ol same ol. Like if I did 225 eight time on bench press last week then i try for eight this week also and the week after, but alot of that has to do with not really keeping that good of records of what i do. So I am going to try to improve on that and see if i can start moving up. But now I am in a delima because i really want to be able to do 300 pounds on the bench but at the same time I really want to lose my gut. Which do you think i should concentrate on the most at this point or do you think both are possible. My max right now is 275. Again I enjoyed the blog and hope to see how you do at your next comp. Good Luck

Thanks man! Always keep a notebook or some kinda log to help ensure that your weights are going up. I suggest picking what matters most to you and really going for it. Eat clean regardless, but cutting up requires more discipline with you diet. Either way, set a goal and get after it! Good luck to you too and thanks for protecting our freedom in Iraq.
