May 9, 2008: "George informed me that he's had more time to train, of late. We expect a fight next visit. I'm planning on buying some headgear this weekend."

Took 10 years but I got that headgear (as of two weeks ago). Looking forward to sparring today as I could use the distraction.

Yesterday:

Barbell strict press
Up to 135 x 5

Dumbbell push press
Work up to 115 x 2
Couldn't get a third up. Hoisting it up for every rep with one hand. Will be nice to be able to use 2 eventually. Almost feeling like a strongman again.

Barbell strict press
140 x 3 x 7

Decline push-ups
20

Pull-ups superset between almost all sets. Also did a lot of rear delt work at the end.

Work dinner went well last night. Started at about 6 which was good for getting a pleasant drunk on and coming home early. Ate some really salty Mexican food. Was in bed by 10:50 and am feeling well-rested this morning at work.
