    Wish me luck...

    Going for 300 x 3 on the flat bench today. New gym, therefore new surroundings. But three days of holiday bingeing better have left me pretty damn strong.

    This will be fun.

    Nice job, B...way to channel all that "energy" into something constructive

    I could give all to Time except - except
    What I myself have held. But why declare
    The things forbidden that while the Customs slept
    I have crossed to Safety with? For I am There,
    And what I would not part with I have kept.

    lol.


    Thank you guys, too. It's just a very cool milestone.

    What do you mean by "energy", though, IceR? Did you see my reply to your post in the genetics thread already?

    Yes... hormonal fluctuations + xenadrine + angry music + getting fired up for the gym + sister who is running late but wants to come = LOTS of energy....
