You know how when you begin something new you tend to have second thoughts after you've already gotten into it. That is how the past week has been for me. I have been checking into strongman info and web sites and realizing that I have a lot of work to do before I am really competitive. Looking at all I need to do in the next several months without all of the equipment seemed really daunting. Daunting, that is, until this morning.
My family and I were planning a long local bike trip today and I decided to work out before hand. It was chest day and being that it is Saturday I do a limited workout. The bench I use is less than desirable. It is an old DP combo bench - far from ideal for real lifting, but until the local school posts public weight room hours it has to do. Anyway, I decided to take a chance and go pretty heavy in spite of my set up. Before I knew it I was doing solid reps with 225-230 lbs. I was shocked and very pleased. I can't wait to see what I can do on a real bench with a spotter.
I still have far to go, but I feel that this morning was confirmation that i am on the right track!
