I hope the gym is on notice!!
I love grocery shopping, only limited by your imagination. Fresh produce, meat, spices ingredients…i am starting to ramble, sorry. Socks, shoes and apron ?

Who, indeed, needs a singlet? Certainly not you. Some fine french-style drumsticks. You better check on whether those socks are allowed for the meet if you haven’t already.
That sock store looks awesome. I’ve been looking for some cool kneehighs for dodgeball.
Sweet matching gear. Maybe I can get some tips from you for my next meet!
This is my kinda sin Frenchie. If you can’t scratch Hell’s belly every now & again, you ain’t livin.
Thanks for all the help Frenchie…
I was planning on sucking wind through complexes tonight (bikini obliging and all) but got irritated at work which left me really wanting to let off some steam. Figured fuck it, Imma lifting something heavy tonight. Decided to give my new chucks a testdrive but once I got to the gym the 1 rack we have was occupied so I gravitated towards the bench like a forlorn lover. Don’t care how long its been I just love the groove of the set up, wrestling with the bar as it tries to choke me and push that fucker away.
Bench
105lbs 1x8
115lbs 1x8
125lbs 1x8
135lbs 1x5
140lbs 1x3
145lbs 1x2
At this point some skinny bloke had hogged all the little 2.5lbs plates instead of simply using a 10lbs plate - cause that would be easier right? I was planning my next jump to be 150 but thanks to skinny hogger I decided to grab my proverbial balls and just do it.
155lbs 1x1!!! Hell YA! +5lbs PR. A grinder for sure but all mine.
135lbs 1x3
115lbs 1x10
What make this victory even sweeter is that despite being sick I’ve been eating cleaner (by Frenchie standards) and weighed in at 155 tonight. This means that I am loosing some chubb but keeping the strenght and
B- I FINALLY HAVE MY BODYWEIGHT BENCH. I’ve been chasing this once for the past 5 years, so yeah I’m excited can you tell?
As I was resting between the benching one of the trainers actually came up to me and asked if I would be interested in teaching a weightlifting class. WTF?!? I still feel like I have so much to learn. She knows I have a full time job but wants to sign me up for a night class a week. I’m not sure how to handle this so I’ll get more information first and take it from there…Flattering yes but a little mind boggling.
And the workout continues…
Squats
95lbs 1x5 - disapointed with how heavy these felt despite the super shoes.
75lbs 1x5
95lbs 1x5
115lbs 1x3
135lbs 2x2
95lbs 2x5
machine leg extension
100lbs 3x10
SLDL
100lbs pre-loaded bar 3x12.
Left in a much better mood than I walked in.
Using a 10 lb plate instead of a bunch of 2.5s is too close to right though haha
