Quick day had shit to do. Legs tonight. I am going to really push it for the next few months. I have a kid on the way which I am really excited about, and I know that lifting is going to take a back seat for a while. My girlfriend is currently 6 months so I have till Sept.

Congrats, new bundle of joy will be here before you know it - wish you all the best.

Strong bench sessions Nick. Your whole life will change for the better soon. Nothing like having a child. Pretty exciting bro.

As far as football goes, I just started practicing with the main team I play for. They have been practicing for about 6 weeks but I have been busy and I tweaked my ankle playing in a game for another team in a different league. I am going to be playing 3 or 4 games in the next 6 weeks with that other team though just to get some work in. Then my season starts in July. I can't travel for the games in Cali though because I work Saturdays and barely make kickoff on the home games now, so this year I will only be playing half the games.

Bench felt good, but my ass came off the bench on the 385 a little. The next 3 weeks I am going to do rep work for bench then get back to heavy singles.

Great day on the bench!

I played in my first game of the season last night. We won 28-0, but they stopped the game at the beginning of the 4th quarter because of fighting. I finished with 8 tackles and 2 sacks. I felt slow as hell though and tweaked my hamstring. Obviously not in game shape.
