Tyler - Lifting Weights and Chewing Gum . . .and I'm all out of Gum

It's week five of my training program and the last eight days of the family challenge. After week six I'm scheduled to have a drop week where I don't lift weights at all. I'm looking forward to relaxing and focusing more on Qi Gong and Yoga. I definitely feel like I've gained a lot of strength so far, and I'm not even halfway through the program. I did something that I have always wanted to do this week, which is bench press a bar with 45's on it. Now, that's only 135 pounds (90 pounds of plates plus 45 pounds of bar), which isn't a lot by bench press standards but it is something I'd always wanted to be able to do, and now I can - which feels great.

Oh, I also wanted to share this link with you all. Whether you're looking for new workout ideas or more information about fitness there's a lot of good stuff there and it's all absolutely free. Enjoy!

    Hi Tyler - Great job on your training program! Bet it feels great to have gone so far in it this time. So, what about the gum? Sounds like things are not going so well on that front! Looked briefly at the link - looks like something worth checking out - thanks!
