Keeping my strength(physicall and mental)...

[big in vegas]

I've been away for the past 2 weeks due to the fact that me and my gf broke up and she has basically everything. I don't have a computer yet so that's why I haven't been on here, she kept the laptop, the apartment and most everything in it for now. It's just been a mess on me physically and mentally since we were together for over 3 years and basically shared everything. We're on speaking terms which is good, not sure if things are going to work out or not, but on to the main point....

Over this time, I've managed to lose 10 pounds which is terrible because I was light already, but I have some how maintained all my strength and just look show ready basically. I did deads yesterday and I pulled 445 pretty easy, just locked out slow, but still got it. I benched 245 for 5 reps the other day, squatting 315 for 8 clean reps to around parallel. I was asked by a powerlifter the other day to do a show around Labor Day because the federation (USPF) hasn't had any raw lifts in the state and he wants me to come down and set some records so there's something on the books. I don't know if I want to do it, but I guess it'd be cool just to put up a number and then have people shoot for the number. I swore I'd never powerlift again after I broke my arm from it, but now he has me wondering what I should do. I do plan on doing a show in May (NPC Pittsburgh). I may just do both, I guess it won't hurt anything except maybe my joints...

I'll definitely be back around more often now. I think I'm going to do this bench meet Labor Day weekend and still eyeing the NPC Pittsburgh next May. If not one before, hopefully by then ill be bigger and be able to put in a good showing for the website

doing a show should make you feel better. As far as breaking up - sometimes things happen for a reason that we dont see at that
time. Be thankful you dont have kids to put through this. Keep us posted on the show.

Whenever I hear about benchpress meets I always hear a pec tearing in my head. If you aren't 100% into it, I wouldn't for that reason. Try to focus on bodybuilding and getting the endorphins going and eat. Girls always manage to get so much control over us. Now's a good time to build yourself back up regardless of what comes of the situation.

Yea man, I've done meets before and with this being a raw meet it'd basically just be my cheat day since I won't be really lifting more than I can handle, nothing like being in a shirt and holdibg onto more than I can get on my own. I don't think id even try to go all out though. I'm definitely going to use this time to get my head on straight and get my weight back up
