I'm BAAAAAAACK!!!

I didn't realize how much i missed the engorging my muscles as I pushed for the last rep. the thing that i was most suprised with was that my bench did not drop at all. i put 225 just to see where i was at, and did it 8 times easy. so i bumped up to 255 and did that 6 times. You don't understand how hard it was for me to stop there, I wanted to take it slow so I just had to walk away. Man that was hard. It is definitely good to be back though, and I can't wait to see how my body reacts to the "new" shock!!!! -------------- Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.

You will be surprized at how little you have lost, and how quickly it comes back! -------------- - Its never about how much you can lift, or how many reps you do. Its just about doing it, and doing it right. ~Brad~
