Finally hit 100lb! For both bench press and squats, actually. The first sets of 10 I did at 95lb, then I threw another 10lb on the bar and cussed my way through another set of each. (Okay, not out loud.) … Continue reading →

I’m back!

Posted on August 22, 2012 by G

I spent the last week on vacation with my partner at my parents’ house. Despite that being a potential minefield, we all had a good time– there was plenty of time outdoors, swimming in the lake, playing cards with extended … Continue reading →
