I'm going to forget about the bench press for now. I'm going to train on body weights and focus on my triceps, shoulders, and stabilizer joints for now.
Onto something more positive.
Not really going to argue with Ah-Nald on that point. Here's why.
The gym class was in the weight room yesterday. I was doing incline sit ups, and there were two girls watching.
One of the guys in my class, Johann, wanted me to show him how to use the incline bench. SO i did.
He cranks out ten easily, then gets up. I hand him a weight plate (only 10lbs.), and he goes at it again. He gets up, and hands it to me.
I crank out fiften, rest for twenty seconds, and crank out another fifteen. i get up to put the weight plate back, and the girls start talking to us.
"Johann, do you have abs?"
"No."
"Do you?" They direct at me.
"Kinda."
"Could we see?"
So I brace my core like I'm doing a plank to make them pop out just a little bit more, and lift my shirt.
"Wow, he actually does."
They smile at me and walk away, talking about me.
I did twenty hick squats using 200 lbs.
I felt like I was God.
It's always nice to get recognition for something you've worked hard to get.
I got this idea from reading Vladsimpaler thread. I'm going to see fi there are any amateur bodybuilding or weight lifting contests going on over the summer.
If there are, I'm going to spend the rest of the fall and winter training for them.
Also, I might finally have convinced my dad to do yoga. High five for me!
He's got a bad back (which I may have inherited from him.), and he's had a lot of problems with it in the past year.
So he sass he's going to look around and might go to some classes.
If he does join one, I'm going to sign up with him too.
