The Renovation Project #???........My Progress LatelyPhysical Stuff
Lately I've been getting a lot stronger, but I am a bit leaner/lighter (which I don't like and neither does my wife. She likes a belly on me). If my lower body stuff would progress like my upper body stuff, I would enter a powwerlifting meet TO-DAY! I am at about 252 pounds of bodyweight (I should be at least 260) because of a mixture of Laziness and stress. Stress is piling up on my.....I gotta stop it! I have to start "casting my cares". My best lifts over the last 2 weeks are as follows. Squat
worked up to 335 x 5 eith just belt and wraps. A bit wuss, but my squat has been neglected lately (a few weeks) Overhead Press (military)
worked up to 185 x 3 for 2 sets
155 x 7-8 drop set Incline Press
135 x 8
155 x 5
185 x 3
205 x 3
225 x 1
245 x 4 (PR)
225 x 5 (drop set) Dumbell Bench
110 x 7
105 x 7
I thought I would get this because I get 105s for at least 10 recently. I may have burned myself out a bit with the drop set of inclines. T-Bar Row
Two 45 lb plates x 10
three 45 lb plates x 10
four 45 lb plates x 10
four 45 lb plates x 10
four 45 lb plates plus a 25 lb plate x 10 (PR) That's some serious weight!!! DB Extensions
45 x 10 x 4 Spiritual Stuff
I am a basket case of worry. I worry about finances, I worry if my brother will ever get his life straightened out or if he will have another melt down and need "help" again......read that "rescued". I worry about my future in my career. I have had enough worry! I am sick of it! I am ready to stop worrying. Sparkling Gems lately has been about worry and casting my cares on Christ. I can't take any more stress in my life. My sibling has GOT to learn to stand on his own two feet. I can do no more. I have got to have some peace in my life. I'm ready for it. I'm ready to surrender my worries, stresses and cares. I can take no more "cares". Lord Jesus this mess is yours! I cannot control it any longer. I give it to You and take my hands off of it in Jesus Name! Amen! |
