Today will be my final blog update because I am getting ready for my presentation which means I have to export my blog and send it to all of my evaluators and I don't want to be adding new posts onto whayt they already have to read. Seeing as how the year is practically over and I just finished my narrative I don't really know what to talk about because I just said everything in the narrative so right now I'm a little out of ideas.

So right now I would just like to thank everyone for reading over the past four months. I know these blogs aren't super exciting so I tried to make mine readable, I hoped that worked out. I would also like to thank Jarrett Powers who is currently in Cinnci hitting up strip clubs and doing tons of coke, at least that's what he told me he might just be grading AP essays who knows. Jarrett is the best mentor ever and I am super happy he was willing to work with me. He also still owes me 10 dollars so I hope he hasn't forgotten about that.

Also in one of our earlier  mentor meeting one of his life rules, which was a question not a rule, was if you knew you would succeed in anything you tried what would you want to do with your life. When he asked me that question almost three months ago I didn't have an answer, and for a while after that I didn't know. But one day after I got done lifting and was heading home it hit me. If there was one thing I could do and know I would be successful in I would become a natural bodybuilder. Over the past four months I thing I have realized a passion I have and once I get done with boot camp towards the end of October and get settled into where I get shipped I am going to find a bodybuilding competition and enter it. Hopefully I will do this and not embarrass myself but even if I do it is something I will not regret and will be able to say I did it.

Leg day

As you may have realized from reading this blog leg day is my favorite day of the week. The reason I love doing legs is because it is hard and most people don't like them, also I can lift real heavy so that always makes me feel good. Since today was the senior trip I had almost no friends at school and the few I did have had a lacrosse game to play like a bunch of buttfaces so I was alone for the last part of the day. During seventh period I went to the trainers room, laid down, ate my third meal of the day, grilled chicken breast and a banana with 32 oz. of water, and just relaxed. After that I met up with my buddy Norm and asked him if he could open the weight room early for me and being the awesome guy he is he obliged. I got in there around 3:10 EST and hopped on the elliptical for I think 27 minutes or so, all I know was I stopped once I had burned 250 calories. After I finished up I started loading the bar up for squats, my all time favorite lift. I decided to forgo my typical 4x8 workout and do a 5x5 while going really heavy. After my first three warmup sets I started off with 385, child's play I know, and banged that out. After that set I decided to see how heavy I could go. So after my next three sets at 405, 420, and 435 respectively I loaded 455 on the bar to set a new personal record. The most I have ever squatted previously was 455 once in March I think so this was a bit of a jump but if you don't push yourself how will you ever realize how good you can be. I stepped under the bar gave a loud yell and proceeded to lift the shit out of that weight. Once I re-racked the weight I felt pretty awesome because that is pretty heavy, not bad for a 17 year old. Once I finished squats you know what it was time for? MORE SQUATS! I stripped off the 25's and two plates to make the bar 225 and the did another 5x5 set of front squats ending with 275 on the bar. So now you are thinking wow this kid is pretty hardcore I wish he was my son, and that is understandable because lets face it, I go quite hard. After this heavy duty squat session I must be done with legs right? Are you kidding me why would I ever stop? Now it's time for lying hamstring curls where I do 3 maybe 4 sets? I don't really remember but I do know they all had 12 reps so that's something. "Alright this kid has done 13 or is it 14 sets of heavy legs surely he doesn't have anything left in the tank to keep going". Have you ever met me? I literally do as little physical activity as possible during the day so I can be fresh for my lifts, of course I'm not done. It's time to do quad extensions. Hop on, load it up, rep it out, rest, repeat. Four more sets of 12  and I'm done with that. "Dear lord he has done four exercises  and either 144 or 132 repetitions is he a Saiyan?"  I wish. Saiyans are the ultimate warriors in the galaxy, it would be an honor to be a Saiyan. Next up it is seated hammy curls. As I did previously I hopped on, loaded it up, repped it out, rested, and repeated. This time I stopped at 3 sets because I was getting cramps and decided that it was time to say enough's enough and stop. "Finally kid's an animal." Now it's time for biceps. I'm not going to go into full X rated graphic detail but just know it was long, hard, sweaty, and I finished exhausted with an amazing pump.

I started the day thinking because I got in there so early I would be able to leave early and go watch the lax game even though I hate lacrosse. I started working out at 3:10 you know what time I finished? 5 effing 45. I was pissed. I started lifting about 45 minutes before usual and ended about 10 minutes before I normally do. Can someone please tell me how the hell that works? I did five more sets than normal and seven more minutes of cardio and somehow that took 35 minutes. I must have ripped a hole in the space time continuum and transported myself into the future, that is the only logical reason as to how it happened. Anyhow I'm already starting to feel a little sore so tomorrow is most likely going to suck satans nipples, so I have that to look forward to.
