500

A lot of the time when I write in this blog, I have a hard time talking about myself.  I never want to come off arrogant.  I hate when people in my profession do that because a lot of times it comes off sounding fake, as if the person doing the talking is trying to make up for short comings in other areas (you know what I mean).

I feel pretty confident in myself after yesterday though, so bear with me.  Yesterday I managed to rip 500 lbs off the floor in a hex bar dead lift! 

The hex bar is a bit different than lifting with a regular Olympic bar, in that it's shaped like a hexagon that you stand inside, and has two handles running north/south.  It's kind of like picking up two suitcases.  Did I mention that it's like picking up 500 lbs worth of suitcases?  I did?  Good.

The best part about yesterday was that I was totally self motivated, I just closed the door and went to work.  I didn't even really add up the weight until I got close to 500, I just lifted and everything felt great...almost easy! 

I had a good bench workout today, lots of board pressing and rep work.  2 hours after finishing and my triceps feel like they're back to normal size again! 

Tomorrow I'm putting on the headphones and heading outdoors for some running and hill work.  Hopefully the weather stays as nice as it's been!

One last thing:  I lifted 500 lbs.
