Great upper body workout this morning. An hour and 15 minutes. Improved my bench press from earlier in the week...was able to do more reps, plus added a little weight. Overall, my entire workout was an improvement over the last one (UBWO). I'm good and sore this evening!
Today I observed a 15 year old boy performing squats with at least 110 lbs added to the bar (I was trying not to stare....I think he actually had 140 lbs of weight added but I can't swear that.) Honestly, this kid wasn't any bigger than me. He was short and had a very slight build. It blew me away to watch him. He had fluid movement and perfect form. It was pretty incredible to watch. It reminded me that with proper training and perseverance, the human body can adapt itself to anything. I don't know that I will ever have a desire to squat with that much added weight; but the principle is there. That kid inspired me!
