So many cries of inequality stem from one of group
of people doing little or nothing and then bitching
about another group that actually does something
to improve their lives.

Thank you Everyone!!!
I am not in the best of moods though, Yesterday I did a leg w/o (a light one) just to get back into the swing of things, and as I got done my phone goes off, my Stepmom is in the ER, so I go to the hospital straight from the gym, and they have no idea what is wrong, she either had a seizure or a stroke, a battery of tests have been taken. Now keep in mind, I am the piece of crap in this womans eyes, and I am there supporting her and my dad. But apparently my brother, her "real" son (as she has mentioned for years) decides that his basketball camp is more important (He coaches High School Girls B-Ball) and does NOT go to the hospital!!! Now let me get this straight..................
I am NOTHING in this womans eyes or heart and yet I am THERE!!!
Her own son doesn't think its important enough that his mother is in the ER!!!
And the kicker was my dad was fine with him not showing, now had I missed, OH MY GOD, what a piece of crap am I!!!
Sorry my Friends, I really don't like to feel this way, but I'm honestly trying to turn the page, go on and be the better person, and this happens!!!
I'm sorry, I am gonna go, will be on tomorrow, will post a w/o and will be better by then, I just need to calm down, and writing it down has helped!!! I'm sorry to ramble, thanks for listening (reading) and GOD speed you ALL!!!"I can do ALL things through Christ, who strengthens me" - Philippians 4:13

Brother Brutus, I hear ya, I am her "stepson" and she has let everyone, and I mean EVERYONE know it!!! I was the "extra" baggage that came along w/my Dad, and she isn't/wasn't shy about announcing it, she has never cared for me or my family, thats why I have a hard time being there, but thats not gonna rule my life anymore!!!
I went to a BBing show last night w/my Friend and w/o partner and the fire has been LIT, and I mean LIT BIGTIME!!! Will be doing this show next year, sometime in October, no date has been set. I have a Year to get my behind into shape and I'm gonna do it w/the help of my partner, he also is gonna do it!!! I am SO fired up about this, Look out, The AngelMan Cometh, LOL!!!"I can do ALL things through Christ, who strengthens me" - Philippians 4:13

I honestly do not understand why people would treat someone who is trying their hardest to show their love? she is obviously completely ignorant to what you are trying to do, or she is heartless! I don't mean any offense with that Arch, but you're showing her affection and she still doesn't respond? that is heartless, man.
just keep your head up high, you know and everyone else that you care for knows you are a very compassionate person!
on a lighter side, that's great about the show Arch! with the weights you move, and your dedication you'll be ready to kick some ass for sure!

Thats good man a fire under your ass is a great way to really see what you need to do. Youll up that intensity and get that extra rep even when it seems like you can't.

I know you said the squats weren't the best but I'm still very impressed by your level of effort. Hey 375X13 is hella heavy to.

Hey Archangel! I've never looked through your journal before, but my goodness - you got the first page off to a mighty start!
Your workouts are incredible - all the rest/pauses made me sick when i tried them, but they are so effective! Good on you for making your workouts so intense!
Im sorry to hear about your mother in law, but i understand why you want to be there for her. Not only does your show of support make you rise above the fact that she has never tried to include you, and therefore make you a better person, but your presence also lends support to your Dad. Im sure he noticed and appreciated the fact that you were there - even though it was perhaps against your better judgement to make the effort. Good for you!
Very best of luck to you for your upcoming show - im sure your training will reach new levels before it is SHOWTIME!
Oh, and great journal title!

hey arch, this is my first time posting in a journal of yours but just wanted to say youre doing amazing man !! wow. some damn good numbers up there man. from the looks of it by next year youll be more than ready for that show, keep it up
also, rest pause? is that where you..just stay in the finishing position of the exercise for 10 seconds, then continue to go at it again? that was a guess, but thats what it sounds like to me.
anyways stay strong and keep tearing it up in the gym man. have that contest in the back of your head incase you ever need to throw some fuel in there to keep the fire going.

Look at that kick butt squat! Might be below your standards, but way above us mere mortals
.
I suppose you are caught up in family issues right now man. Best of luck, I know you are going thru a very difficult time.
