Motivation Works

So I got into the gym yesterday thinking it was gonna be another normal day just lifting the same old weights, but after running into a man who I would talk to every now and then I found myself going for a few PB's. I was happily doing my bench press and finished 2 sets of 100kg x 4 when he came over and asked me what my 1RM was. I told him it was 110kg, but I had got a bit weaker since I last pulled it off. He then 'kindly told me' that I was going to go for it again and that he would spot me, so off I go and up comes the 110kg.....fair enough. He then says it didn't look too hard and 'kindly told me' to put on and extra 2.5kg just to get a new PB and challenge myself. So I said ok and gave it a go, and to my suprise it actually came up by itself (very slowly and left side lagging a bit, but so). Overjoyed I thanked him for his motivation and started setting up for my deadlifts. This was going to be my 2nd attempt at 165kg x 3, having got 3-3-1 on monday, and I was feeling strong. So off I go, and there goes my 3x3 sets all done. Having been talking to me during sets, my friend then spurs me on to do 172.5kg and get another new PB in the deadlift (2.5kg is a small increment but its still makes a big difference). I was feeling pretty tired after the last 3 sets and my back was definatley feeling the last 3 sets, but I thought why not give it a go. So off I go again and what seemed like 20seconds later I had a new PB.

This goes to show what a little motivation can do for you in the gym, the main reason it is good to have a training partner. Although I don't have one I definatley will be trying to up my game every few weeks from now, because I realise that alot of the lift is in your head. If you think you are going to fail, then you probably will, but if you think you can do it (or if someone else is spurring you on), then you are far more likley to get big lifts.



I said a while back I was going to try and get some photos up and I finally got the opportunity to take one. I only got one because working out my sisters crazy camera wasn't as easy as I thought. This is me flat btw, no pumping involved, lol.
I have often been told how small my nipples are ,lol
