We're planning to lift weights every Tuesday and Thursday (assuming we stick with this. lol) so I figured I'd keep track of what I've lifted.

Bench press:
50 lbs.-- 3 sets of 10
70 lbs.-- 2 sets of 5

Military lift:
30 lbs.-- 2 sets of 10

It's been about two years since I've set foot in a gym, obviously. :-P We made a half-joking pledge to be able to bench press our own weight by Halloween. I tried to bench 100 pounds just to see if I could, and that quickly turned into an example of why you always have someone there to spot you. And today my arms are still going through random 'OMG I hate you' fits, so it's a good thing we're walking tonight.

Time to write. *s*

go you!!!

jake has been bugging ron about becoming his personal trainer.

Ron used to bodybuild. He even competed in the Mr. Vermont State body building championship.

He was a living example of how lifting weights can increase your body mass-- he gained about 45 lbs of pure muscle, no steroids involved.

It was pretty cool.
