Tues Dec 21, 2010 Raw bench
My dad's birthday today. He's 22 years older than me and he goes to the gym three times a week. His upper body is still big and strong and he tells me one of these days he'll come and do a powerlifting meet.
My light raw bench day turned into a heavier raw bench day, with Carmine, Chris and Shawna.

Felt good again tonight. Feeling stronger and more determined than in a long time. Relaxed and strong.
Today we started a new diet, well actually made a commitment to eating cleaner, more protein this time with carbs. Back to eating steaks again. I feel like making a real effort to eat more total food and calories. It's time to start increasing my lifts.
