300.

It’s not just for these guys.
Or even these guys, who (not so strangely) go by  the same name.

It is the reason today’s lunchtime workout was great. Okay, to be honest, it was an average workout with a moment of greatness:

  • Leg Raises: 3 sets/15 reps
  • Bench Press: 3 sets/10 reps, 205 lbs
  • Fly: 3 sets/10 reps, 100 lbs
  • Lower Back Extensions: 2 sets/15 reps, 140 lbs
  • Decline Press (dumbbell): 3 sets/10 reps, 40 lbs
  • Curls (dumbbell, hammer grip): 3 sets/10 reps, 30 lbs
  • Push-ups: 3 sets/15 reps

The moment of greatness in the workout: I did a max bench press of 300 pounds… for the first time in over a year. I only did one rep – and it wasn’t the cleanest/prettiest I’ve ever done – but the bar came down and went back up, all under my own power.

Post-workout weight: 185.2 pounds.
