--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So I have had a bit of a cold, got little sleep last night, all in all reasons to take a night off...right? WRONG. I am on a mission. I am competeing and that is the bottom line. BUT combine all that with 2 sons (3 and 5) that want to stay home eat pasta and watch Hulk, AND a bit of gout.....welll I can read the signs. Right now my workouts are kicking ass and all I need is a stupid move in th gym and get hurt....so I am eating pasta and relaxing.....

Well Tomorrow was to be Gabriels actual due date, but he would have been delivered sometime the past week Sept 24th also is Alex my oldest sons birthday. I ask that those that can and wish to please say a prayer for us as well this whole last week and the next few days are and have been very tough for me and my wife.
I have said this but he, Gabe was so tiny and just here for a blink of an eye but he has made such an impact on me and mine. It is because of him and his lesson, that life is so easily broken that I am finally taking steps to work in a field that I love. It is beacuse of his lesson to me that I am trying so hard to get ready for this Meet on Oct 20th.
So please to anyone that reads this, just keep us Townsends in mind.
Thanks to all here ( you know who you are) that have made me smile when I needed to and let me whine and cry.
I love each of you.

So the last two weeks have been hard for me. One workout is all I got in. I found out that the Strong Man event was canceled and that is ok. Gabes due of last week threw me into a depression that I am still fighting. I am taking meds but lately I have felt like they are not working. I am talking with my doc to see about changing meds. I also go Thursday for an appt for HRT. My Test levels are lower than my 5 yr old.
That said i am going back to a 3 day WS routine (WS=West Side). I will post what I am doing when i figure it out LOL.

As a quarter squatter was dominating the rack, I heard a conversation between an old powerlifter (easily in his 60\\'s) and what I would guess was his grandson (15-yrs old):
Kid: \\"So, why does he stop so short on his squats? That looks weird to me.\\"
Old PL\\'er: \\"He\\'s afraid if he squats deep, his vagina might touch the ground.\\"

Ok saturday the 13th of OCt 2007 I took my first shot of Depo 1ml. I take it once a month. I did get puky last night which isone of the side effects they said to look out for. But I am not convinced it is not the bug my family has been passing around.

Have not posted here in a long time. Lets see, I am very depressed. Had a problem that I was hiding and my wife found out...I do not want to say more than that right now. Work is stressfull and we are expecting again. I just want to crawl into a hole.

I am at a loss here. How do I tell my wife that 90% of what I did was because of stress? And 80% of that stress is here at work. I know I know cowboy the fuck up and all that....but this is so not me here I do a good job but I am always stressed about it. Then I have home life to deal with and her being pregnant is so scary as well......UGH

Whats done is done. discuss it with your wife and move forward. Continuing to dwell on it isn't going to make it better or go away. If something needs to be fixed or dealt with, deal with it. I always find that once I face up to things and figure out solutions, I start to feel much better. Hope everything works out.

Wife thought she had a appt for a massage. THis is at the YMCA I do not like (small and crowded weight area). But a chance for an extra day is always good. Chest night on Monday never crossed my mind. We get there and it is PACKED. I go up to the free weight area and every single bench is taken so I warmup on a machine and sit there I can not even do squats or anythng in the ONE rack.
I had the wonderful show of these young guys loading the barbell up with 225 and doing 1/8 reps with it and congratulating each other. The one fella was able to unrack it and MOVE IT 6 inches down and back up and called that a Rep. Then my wife shows up 20 min later to tell me she had the wrong day. SO no workout at all.

Update: I am pensive, anxious and tried. All in all I feel like I am falling apart. Doctor wants to give me different meds for anxiety and depression as well as something to help me sleep.
I am all for better sleep, but I feel this is treating symptoms not the cause. This month I am starting my HRT with 2 shots/month instead of one. My test levels while higher are still very low with one shot per month.
Training wise i am making progress I feel in a positive direction. I told someone that the only time I feel good, in-control etc is while lifting.

I am doing a sort of an update. Before surgery I had close to 19 in arms they ranged between 18-18.5-19 or so. By ONE year out of surgery they had shrunk to 15.5-16 in. IT was a big blow to me as I have always had larger arms. well last friday I just happend to measure them. Cold I got a 17 in!!!!!!! and what is more there is little fat there. I have veins all over them now and they are aleays rock hard. I am needless to say very happy!

Getting bored posting in my journal so I am just going to note a few things here. Last Thursday I did a ME leg/lower body workout. Squats I got 365x1, which I hit before but this was a nice deep Powerful squat. Then I NAILED a new Rep PR 315x5...that was sweet. I also did box squats and got 275x1 also a new PR. Then onto deadlifts, I worked up to 405 and got it easy, then added to make a 425 lift....while resting I got totaly pumped to the idea of hitting a new PR on it and added 10lbs. I have to say that at the top locking out the 435 I about passed out but I got it a new DL PR 435x1!!!
It was not till I got home and took my shirt off I found out that across my chest and shoulders many little blood vessels had popped!!! Anyway today is tuesday and I am still a bit tight!

Well a lot has happened to me since before Easter. About two weeks before easter I slipped outside and slightly tore my hammstrings and sprained both knees. The Thursday before Easter i got laid off. I went back to the gym for one workout and the legs got worse. I am now about a full month or so out of the gym. AND I am loving not working out of the home. My wife and I are running a daycare and after we have the baby in July i will get a part time job at a gym or YMCA.
I am still hurting in the lower body area. Just simple yard work kills my legs after I am done and I have a pinched nerve on the right leg running from my belt line to my foot. Funny how i can squat and DL hundreds of pounds and yet a simple fall takes me out. My insurance does not cover PT so iam hoping rest will take care of it.
The baby is doing awesome but I am still dealing with losing Gabe and scared that even with just 12 weeks something bad is going to happen.

True story. I slipped my L5-S1 while SNEEZING, only a few days after pulling 315 for easy sets of 10. Ridiculous when you think about it, how walking down steps and sneezing can cause the injuries you thought you'd incur in training.
Just think of how much worse the injury would have been if you had conditioned your body with the weight training. Good luck with everything.
