I got 80′s up for reps doing flatbench dumbbells the other night; that’s like lifting half of myself in each hand, or like Travis and I usually say, a couple o’ midgets. Overall, my body weight’s up 15lbs from the start of the year and with the Speedy Gonzalez metabolism I have, that’s not too bad.
Pretty soon that will be 80′s on incline and then 80′s for warm up…and so the hunger continues

I’m learning that the mind is trickiest part to overcome. I think back on the lift and I know that I could’ve done 85′s for the number of sets and reps I did, but at the time I thought, “Whoa, 80 is more than usual, this is going to suck…”

Haha, don’t worry, your story will not go unheard; there will be a Jordan “Converse” entry in the future some time
