I was never good on the bench

When I was in San Diego I got up to benching 150 for reps. That's a high point for me. Never tested my 1 RM. When I went to the gym the other day I had lost so much strength that I was benching like 115.

I told Luke about it and he was like, "Why can't you bench more?" I was like, because my muscles aren't that strong?

If I could get up to doing 180 for reps, that would be nice. I don't know what's normal though, or what I'm "supposed" to be at.

I got up to 275 last winter which was my all time high, but when I was like 18, best I could do was 205.

What a surprise. I'll check that shit out for sure.

I'm sure it will find a place in my Blu-Ray collection right next to Two for the Money.

I started it last night...about halfway through it. It's not that good.

Oh, so this isn't going theatrical?

Chicken: great for protein . . . shitty for calories.

how much of it are you eating? What are you eating with it?

Yeah. For lots of protein/calories...you gotta get yourself some red meat.

Oh, who is this sexy Asian guy with a big red head?

Tonight I marinated a bunch of chicken breasts and baked them. Then I cooked some pasta, cut up one breast and dropped it on top, and then covered it all with spaghetti sauce. It was actually pretty good. But not calorie rich. I'm trying to eat a ham sandwich right now to up my calorie and protein intake for the day. I'm already full though, so that's proving to be a chore.

If I'm eating chicken and rice then I'm usually getting full after 1.5 to 2 chicken breasts, depending on their size.

The good news is that I gained 2 1/2 pounds this week.

That's generally my preference. I'm on a big time budget right now, though. I had like 20 bucks the other day and knew that I had to buy enough food to make it to the 4th of Dec or else I would run out of food and probably die. I knew you could get a bag of chicken breasts for like $8 so that's what I did.

Basically, for the next week I have chicken breasts, pasta, sandwich meat, a quarter of a loaf of bread, 10 slices of cheddar cheese, some rice and chips & salsa.

Oh, and 3 protein bars and some protein powder.
