Entry #738

I've lost a great deal of power, but I'm at peace with it. I will regain it, so there's no point in frustration at this point. I enjoy the challenge of feeling physically weak, in a way, because any mental deficiencies are glaringly highlighted. It takes a strong mind to forge through.

End cliche inspirational hammerings.

Here's today:

ME upper

Floor press:
4x5      135, 185, 225, 275 lbs.
1x2      295 lbs.
> Now, this is pathetic, but I didn't sweat it. I expect my pushing ability to shoot up in the following weeks.

Close-grip bench press:
3x8      205 lbs.
> One reassuring thing is that my performance on assistant lifts seems to always stay consistent. Reassurances are for weaklings.

Lat raises:
2x8      50 lb. dumbbells
1x8      35 lb. dumbbells

Reverse-grip barbell rows:
2x8      185 lbs.
2x6      185 lbs.
