Some kid came up to me and said I look like Brian Shaw. I think Mr. Shaw has about six inches and 100 pounds on me.

Well that about sucked. I was going for two reps at 370. One was more than I could handle. I knew it was going to be a problem on the way down. I blasted one rep last week.

I decided I needed to dial things back and work in some reps again. The heavy bag was a little bit of a struggle, because I was already tired.

That Brian Shaw compliment probably made your day.

370 bench sure did.

Of course I told my wife and daughter. They had no who I was talking about.

So, there are miles of empty treadmills. Guess where the dude decides to get on one. Yep, the one on my left. He probably has no urinal etiquette either.

I feel like I have stalled at the heavier weights, so I dropped way down. I need to figure out where to do next. I have been doing the same set- up since October.

I was not into it today. I was kinda tired and unmotivated. Plus, the arthritis in my left shoulder was terrible. I thought about a light deload (probably needed), but a young guy on the bench next to me was putting on some big weight, so he motived me to work on singles.
