What a difference a day makes...

So, we'll start this one off different, I'm going to talk about some stuff that's completely not gym related.  Well, that being in a good place mentally just got completely blown out of the water.  I went from being in the most amazing place I think I'd ever been mentally to well...(oh and I know you read this, if you are reading this one, please stop you have enough to worry about).  So, I don't talk about it a lot, generally nothing more than saying "I'm crazy" but that statement has a lot more truth to it than most realize.  Sometimes when I'm down and those downs can get pretty low my behaviour gets a bit more self destructive because well... crazy.  It's took a long assed time for me to even admit it to myself, let alone a few select others.  So just firing it seems insane not to mention extremely difficult to me.  Sometimes, I'll do something crazy like if I have an impressively long soul patch I'll just completely shave, or if I have a goatee, I'll shave it, dunno just something for a change, well... lets put it like this... still have the goatee, lets see if you can figure that one out. Anyway when I say self destructive I mean things along the lines of alcohol, from time to time pills, and this is the hardest one to admit but self harm.  Yeah, told ya crazy. So anyway... I thought about just ignoring Facebook and Twitter completely for a few days, was even going to not use this.  And yes, I know it post to Facebook/Twitter automatically, but I think I need to keep updating this, sometimes with shit like this.  Anyway, back to that other part... I think it's easier to understand/deal with physical pain than it is with mental pain, that's why sometimes and I do stress rarely, it leads to that.  Sometimes I use the gym as therapy sometimes it works... sometimes it doesn't... today I went in and murdered my triceps in an effort to not do what I was wanting to do.  It'll just be easier of that part of me is known and not seen should things work out...

So, the gym... lets pop some numbers shall we?

Started out warming up with Tate presses 30lbs for a set of 15, 40 for a set of 12, 60 for a set of 10, 70 for a set of 8, then 80s for 3 sets of 8.  Followed that up with weighted dips, 1 chain for a set of 8, 2 chains for a set of 8, 3 chains for a set of 8, at the end I went back and tried 4 chains, that would have been about an extra 100 pounds, couldn't get it but was okay with it.  Straight bar press downs 120 for 3 sets of 12, floor skull crushers for 3 sets of 8.  So, that was a pretty good session, won't say it completely did what it needed, but it helped.
