Good solid workout. I think doing a few more shoulder exercises last week may have helped me on the bench. It felt so much easier this week. I had a spotter for the 175 but he never touched the bar!! I love when spotters know what to do without needing to tell them. Its hard for me to judge when they grab the bar, how much it was them or me before I crap out.

Well a pretty disappointing workout but I kind of expected it. As I was Fired from my job today. Nice to be let go right before Christmas. Also on a Thursday at 9am, even better. I have been expecting something from the morons that own the studio for sometime so I was not shocked. They got there wish, finally got rid of anyone who knows they have no business owning a studio and can continue to ruin the business and soon sell it for the land.

Oh well back to the workout. I don't think the workout suffered from lack of focus, but more lack of nutrition. As I did not get my normal pre workout meal in before. I mean what better way to start the next chapter in your life then doing heavy dead lifts.

Here is to the future!!

Yeah that sucks right close to Christmas, but as one door closes, another opens. Sounds like environment there wasn't the greatest anyhow.
