Progress

So on a previous blog I made some very ambitious goals about my fitness level. While I have not reached all of them yet I have progressed immensely. Since the beginning of this month I have been going to the gym everyday to get stronger and look better. Here are some of my results so far. I have squatted a whopping 225 lbs. which is a lot heavier than certain people may think. While I felt amazing after squatting that much I felt even better after reaching this goal on the bench. Just yesterday I decided to try for the 15th time to put up a plate. For those of you who don't know that means a 45 lb. weight on each side of the bar. This totals up to a gargantuan 135 lbs. At the gym if you can put this up you are kind of "big sh*t" and people can see it. Well, on that 15th time I crushed that weight! That's right ladies and gentlemen I basically pick-up 135 lbs. and threw it across the gym. This was easily one of the top 5 greatest moments of my life. Now with this goal reached I just do not want to lose all the work I have done during the spring sports season. I will try my hardest to still stay dedicated to the gym.

What is it?

Finally, home at last now I can go get the soft delicate thing. While small in size, it lets your head feel like a bottle floating on top of the ocean. This thing can come in any color or any design. The one that I have is a plain white but its cover varies from week to week. Every time you touch the thing an image of a nice cozy lodge with a warm fire is played in your head. I always end my day and start my morning with this fluffy item. Everybody probably has one but if not they are really missing out. Well it's time for me to be engulfed by the comforting thing so goodnight and sleep well.

Time for a Redo

So lately my adventures to the gym have been really inconsistent. Some weeks I would go three days others I wouldn't go at all. A lot of this has to do with me having track practice everyday but I know that should be no excuses. But now that track has officially ended the GRIND starts again. Everyday after school I will be at the gym for at least an hour. I will continue this routine until lacrosse starts on March 1st. So this gives me a full month to get into a routine and accomplish some goals. A few goals I have set for my self to complete by the end of February deal a lot with lifting. I want to be able to bench 185, squat 250, and leg press 450. While these weights are very large compared to what I can do now I know that if I get into a consistent routine I will be able to reach these goals. This month will truly test my dedication and determination skills but I know I will end this month victorious.
