Not a terrible day after taking what my co-worker calls a "life deload." I took about a week off to go back to Michigan for my grandmothers funeral. Been back few days but haven't been myself. Felt good to get some work in and get back to it. I just decided to try some volume on bench, no real rhyme or reason but just something different. Basically 3 sets to failure although "failure" is a loose term as I had no one to spot me but a 100 lb woman and two kids. According to my wife I could have got at least one more on the 315, but my response was yeah maybe but who would pull it off if I didn't?

I said for years that they don't make woman like my grandmother anymore, Im really gonna miss her.

Two quotes today, the wife and I were talking about a buddy of mine who wants to get bigger, stronger, whatever and his wife likes "guys with muscles" and he has only trained with me once. My wife asked something about him and my quote (which I'm proud of ) was;
