It's my Friday... on a Friday. I took tomorrow night off for Halloween. I'm gonna go try to find a costume today. I think I'm gonna go as Mystique off of the X-men. Depending on if I can find all the appropriate attire

Had a good leg workout today. Still trying to eat a ton!! Did some powerlifting Chest workout last night. My 1 Rep Max on Bench Press is around 140.. decent. I went clear up to 205lbs on the bench doing some negatives!! Kinda a cool little switch fromm what I'm used to.

Here's some updated pics that I took just messing around the other day. Nothing too great. Hope you all have a good Halloween







**RANDOM ORDER/HIGHEST WEIGHT**

Leg Extension - 110lbs

DB SLDL's - 40's

Standing Leg Press - 230lbs

Smith Squats - 160lbs <-- put a bench underneath so I had to touch it each time with my butt

Smith Machine Reverse Lunges - 90lbs

Seated Calves - 90lbs

Hey lady! That'd be cool if you came down there. It's not too bad so far. Less busy than I thought and everyone is super nice. They still haven't brought in the squat rack though I'm sure Brian is keeping you busy!!

Thanks for the links and info. I'll def check them out! I like food, so any excuse is good for me. haha

Evening ppls. I've been sick the past few days. Blah. Woke up last week with a slight sore throat and stuffed head. Then it just kinda faded away. But this week it's been getting worse. I'm loading up on chicken noodle soup and medicine. Taking it fairly easy at the gym... and doing my best to get better before I head to FLORIDA on Sunday!!! Please please please don't let me be sick!!

I had a great halloween. I was supposed to work, but ended up getting it off, which worked out great! I went all out on my costume and it turned out amazing. I had like every single person come up to me and comment on it Gym boy was Wolverine too!! Here's some pics.

Did chest today at the gym. Felt decent. Got the 45's on flat bench for 8 reps I'm still trying to keep the cals a lil higher. I was tempted to lower them so I wouldn't look like a total fat ass on the beach next week, but eh oh well. Jaime will get to see me at my best I think I'll be doing legs tomorrow... I'll try to get back in!

Holy Crapola... I'm back from FL! Here are some highlights...
1)Jaime is amazing. She is a uber uber uber sweet girl. Awesome dedication. She looks like a champ in the gym. I'm sooo going back to see her. I didn't get to chill with her as much as I wanted.. like not even close, but there will be more times

2)I did get in a great lower body wo with Jaime while in FL. Hit a PR of 155 for 8 on squats

3)FL was awesome overall. Gym boy and I partied it up a lot Hit Universal Studios, lots of fun. Ended up at a Jersey's type strip joint the night we went downtown. Shopped a lot. Good relaxing get away from Oregon and work

I'm at work right now, I gotta a lot of figuring out/thinking to do about what I wanna do fitness wise! But I'll have things figured out by Monday fo sho
