I smoked the 70 lb. dumbbells!

I put up the 70 lb. dumbbells for 9 reps on the flat bench press today! I had previously been doing incline presses, which are more difficult; as such, one typically can’t lift as much on the incline as on the flat bench. I had a little difficulty lifting them into position (my forearm strength is comparatively weak) but once I locked them into position, they went up nicely.

The 75s are next!!!

    Hey Steve,
    this is one of your coworkers from your IT years. I was browsing fitness sites and couldn’t believe my eyes, when came across your site and read about your new career.

    I have to say I am very impressed by what I read about you.

    I never worked out before and didn’t really think I needed to. But after having 2 kids things shifted in my body. I now workout with a personal trainer (who is extremely tough) and helped me to get back in even better shape then I was in before I had children. Now I am so into fitness that I never thought I would be.

    Anyway, enough about me :) . I just got very excited when I saw your site and read about you, that decided to leave a comment on your blog.

    Hope all is well. Congratulations on all of your success!!!
