Today at the gym, I did a little more benching. Regular barbell presses on a bench. I lifted 75 lbs for three sets and 10 reps each. Yes, I had a spotter. Everytime I bench, I’m gonna have a spotter, just to be safe and be careful. I used to disagree with benching, now I’m thinking it’s good. After today, lifting 75 lbs bench, I can feel the pump in my chest and it has gotten a little bigger, just a tiny bit. If I keep doing benching and various chest workouts throughout the summer, I could look like a mid-card wrestler or a welterweight boxer in no time.

As for certain rumours of me wanting to become a model, I didn’t exactly say that. I said if the opportunity came up and if many people want me to do it, maybe I’ll think about going for it but for now, my goal is hopefully wanting to get into some kind of physical sport. I never played sports in high school for my own reasons. Now that I can do anything physical I want…I’ll want to take up martial arts, boxing or wrestling…whatever I can take.

There is a martial arts school in Greenwich, and I plan to look into it soon. I’ll give them a call this week and find out the pricing. I feel that I’m strong enough to get into martial arts, I think.

Another one of my goals is to change my weekly workout program around ’cause you don’t want to be doing the same exercises all the time. I’m slowly trying to avoid the weight lifting machines, and going to dumbells/barbell stuff more often. I would avoid the lat pull down machine and do only pull ups for lats. Pull ups is a powerful workout for your back. I do those all the time at home too with the chin up bar.

I didn’t ask the gym owner about percentage bodyfat yet, ’cause he was busy with other things, training other people so I didn’t want to bother him. I’ll talk to him about that stuff next time whenever it’s not busy there. I could avoid the local gym too, but the only reason I go is because the subscription is cheap, $39 a month. Can’t say no to that. There are ways to get jacked without even going to the gym. All you need is a set of dumbells and your own bench press, and wallah, there’s your home gym. I go to the gym ’cause I don’t have my own barbell sets yet which I plan to start collecting in the future.

My blog site has been slow, been doing other things. I’ll have another busy weekend this week ’cause of work and I have to attend a local Benefit event this Sunday, so I will try to blog as much as I can and catch up with the news I’ve been missing.
