Wow, that is amazing. Kind of makes my progress seem trivial. My max bench was only around 75 lbs 2 months ago and now I can bench around 110. Hope to make 140 by the end of May.

I almost always work out with friends. I get good motivation from them and they can spot me whenever I need it.

I find going that early crazy. I am never awake enough or have the energy to work out after I wake up. I usually go around 7:30 PM.

I hate deads for some reason. I guess its because whenever I have done them I just ended up hurting my back and not gaining anything from it.

I love lifting, its what gets me going back to the gym everyday.

I dunno maybe 70, Ill check tomorrow.

Theres a rule of thumb. Extend your thumbs out and place your hands on the bar. Make sure the end of your thumb is at the line between the inner area of the bar(smooth) and the outer area(rough). Thats exactly where your hands should be.

I haven't really thought of looking at the nutrition facts until recently. I'll start counting and if I get less than 2500 Cals a day I will change my diet to foods with more cals.

It sure doesn't look like much, but it fills me up.

Ok, so basically I should be eating alot more than I do now. Well for breakfast I just don't have the time, except on weekends because I have to catch a bus at 5:50, but for lunch would cold cuts w/ wheat bread be good? I think that is definitely where I am lacking in food. Also, for dinner I...
