Tonight I was watching TV and looking at this website with workout plans. Searched through a bunch of workouts to get ideas. Going to follow this eight week plan to build strength.

I mean, I want to do it. But it’s going to be hard because the gym I go to closes next week so I’ll have to find another gym.

I’ve checked out a couple gyms but I gotta decide on one. One of them is moving to another location and opening July 9th. One doesn’t have a squat rack. One does have everything I need but it’s smaller. And one is perfect but further away.

The one I want to go to the most is the furthest away. So I’m a little sad because travel time will be a pain.

I’m really wanting to build strength. Powerlifting strength.

I’ve become a total gym rat again. I got into exercising and then the gym years ago when I was suffering from anorexia and wanted to use it as a tool to lose weight. I transformed that after a while into strength training.

I lost a bunch of strength by not going to the gym during COVID. I’m quickly regaining it, and I want to get even better.

Like precovid —> now

Deadlift 260lb —> 185lb
Bench press 160lb —> 90lb
Leg press 550lb —> 315lb
Back row 120lb —> 90lb
Bicep curl 40lb —> 30lb
Overhead press 90lb —> 60lb

So I’m not toooo bad. Even in the last two months I’ve noticed that my strength is improving. I started focusing more on protein intake and also taking some good simple supplements to help promote muscle recovery and growth and I notice it’s all helping.

Anyway, I could talk about it all day. Most people don’t really care so I feel self conscious when I start getting on a roll talking about it.

Edit: ugh now I’m sad because I have a busy day tomorrow and might not be able to go to the gym. Got chiropractor, massage, and going to the local fair for rides.
