Getting my Kennely bench book today...

[Parabellum]

It's out for delivery. I can't wait.

Along with a singlet and a few back issues of monstermuscle.

I want to compete this year in a few bench press contests. Ifound one local one and one in NJ (NJ Bench Press Open). I expect to get schooled at the NJ one since it's USAPL and from what I hear they are very strict. I was thinking about doing the raw portion.

Too bad there is not a powerlifting crowd at my gym.

not having the atmosphere sucks, best gym I was at had a core group of 8-10 powerlifters, very cool

atmosphere really makes a difference. in high school years ago i trained at a gym called the warrior gym, it was small, not very many members and most of the members were serious about lifting. then it changed owners and the name changed to amazing fitness, and well you can guess which direction the gym took at that point, im glad i left that place. if one more middle aged women with a new years resolution would have come up to me and asked me to turn the music down so she can socialize with her flock i would have blown my stack. stupid bitch

while i have not read this book cover to cover, my opinion firmly stands; this book totally sucks! it lacks any substance, and is in my ipinion a waste of money...sorry ryan, but you really could have done a better job...

I want to do one, one day talk about everything, drug use politics, freaky women, everything. All the dirty shit no one wants to talk about. Let it all hang out in a big way, freak out the whole powerlifting community. Get myself standing in a pig pen for the cover, yeah!!
