Death Squats

This afternoon, I went for my rare workout. Playing with heavy weights is something I have been doing for more than a decade. Many things have come and gone but the weights in my life have always been there. Squats, bench presses, pull ups, I have been doing them for ages and ages. Workouts are rare due to other commitments but its still something I need.

For some strange reason, I like the pain. Its my barometer of what I can take.

Its very easy to reduce a pound or two, just rack the weights and call it a day. Being a solo activity,no one will know you did less than usual. Except you. Thats the most important person.

But I persist, through torn tendons, strained ligaments and a nauseating build up of lactic acid. Its nice knowing that i beat myself...

Today, it was death squats. 300 pounds of full squats, 20 times. I normally do ten good reps. today did 20, just for the heck of it.

Things you can learn from the weight room

1. Those who whine and cry when they dont get acknowledgement from other people are just cry babies.

2. Your own expectations of yourself are sometimes the hardest to live up to.

3.Do more than you think you can, sometimes you will just surprise yourself.

Going to be interesting to see what monday will bring.......

my story

In todays web world, i really dont feel secure blogging about major life events. We don't have any more privacy nowadays, with the creation of emails and facebook and now, after the virus age, major spyware. Its really difficult to know who's having access to what and what their information will be used for.

Certain events in our life can have legal implications and may even affect the safety of our loved ones. You really never know.

 

Not that I have anything naughty, like I said u never know.

However, I would like to leave some part of behind in writing for my children to read and laugh about some day.

I cant really blog about the 'fun' thigs in my life and neither can I blog about my past....

I suppose I would like to start fresh, with whats going on here and now.

There plenty to write about
