Been a little over a month, sorry about the delay in writing. My life has been stupid crazy...
I have NOT slacked on my bench however which is a very proud statement for me to make. The laboratory is alive and well and I am currently sitting at 305 pounds for my bench. It is not a thing of beauty by any means but it is a solid press.
I am now out of weight. So I have been doing high quantities of reps with the weight that I have. I see the plateau coming so I need to window shop craigslist and find 2 more 45 plates. Unfortunately for me, people selling weights always turn to google to find a reasonable asking price and wonderful google returns the command to sell it at one dollar a pound. So people usually then make it a flat 100 dollars.
Finding that extra 100 is a struggle for me right now so I sit frustrated. I just need that mom cleaning out her sons room after he leaves for college to give his plates away.....
Then I found this guy... Eric Spoto. I am angry with him yet I love him. Like a parent. He worked his ass off to achieve this unearthly feat, yet his success makes my goal seem so trivial. 722 pounds. He more than likely warms up with 400 pounds. It makes me wonder if Eric Spoto once had a goal of benching 400 pounds, like me.
I also notice, and it proves my point, that someone who is able to bench 722 pounds never misses a meal. YOU MUST CONSUME MASSIVE CALORIES!!!!!
Calories are the needle and thread to muscle repair. Never forget that. DO NOT ever think that you will gain large muscle growth while spending hours on an elliptical and sipping smoothies.
