Sorry for the lack of updates, I have been busy to another level, especially with Christmas here... I had a few days where I missed some meals and saw I dropped a few lbs. but quickly corrected it and am not at 205.8... I am really beyond happy with how things have progressed... I felt really good today... I had been down for nearly a week with a cold but I pushed through it and finally felt back to normal... I know I should have taken an extra day or two off but it was not one of those things that you just know you need to stay home... it was far more difficult but I knew I could push through it.. Today I had in my mind I was getting 280 for 10 on the bench... I mainly listed to hip hop the entire time im working out but when I am on a big lift like this, its all nine inch nails... Today I had to laugh at myself over and over... I was pumping myself up and in my head I was thinking, " are you the King or are you a bitch" and fuck me, i actually said it out loud and said "i aint no bitch, im the fucking king" and then i realized i said it out loud, and I know someone turned around LOL but I played it off and ripped it up... It was very tough once I was on the 7th rep but I was having nothing less than the 280 and I got it... I have been in unknown territory on my strength for a very long time so its always a major hurdle I overcome everytime I am able to add to it... Ripped up chest and biceps today and not only am I very happy but my wife is loving it as well and that always helps to know what your doing is providing improvement... I am not even close to where I want to be but I will get there... I dont take no for an answer... Period... Here are a few pics from today... Thank you for all your support and comments!
