So last night I was browsing online for weights when I came across an ad from Dick's Sporting Goods in the Valley. $189 for 300 pounds of Olympic weights and a bench for $59.
I called.
"Yeah man, looking right at them. Awesome equipment." says the zealous salesman.
"So the price is right? $189 and $59, because I live in Mead and the drive is far and I want to make sure."
"Yup. $189 and $59"
So I hop in our mini van, drive the almost 30 miles and arrive. Almost skipping. The final ingredients are about to be acquired. But wait.....................
$225 and $89? What the EFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Um, can you get me the salesman who works in this department, I spoke to him about 40 minutes ago, he said these prices were VERY different."
#R$@%%#^ Never mind. I do not feel like writing the rest of this because it makes me angry.
I did not get the final ingredients. Patience Jon. Patience Jon. Patience Jon.
So I got home and sat in a metal folding chair and did like 40 shoulder presses with a bar that had no weight.
The scary part is my shoulders are very sore today. Not a good sign.
I am becoming a Dr. Seuss Character. Blubbery stomach. Receding hairline. I am getting man breasts and everything is beginning to droop. I used to be fairly fit and then I turned 40. I am now 41 and I am going to bench press 400 pounds by the time I am 45. Join me. Follow me. Encourage me. Stop my Dr. Seussing. I am not promoting any product. I am just a middle-aged man, trying to bench press a lot of weight and asking others to join me. My most recent postings are at the top.
