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.......
