I've been remiss in what I said I was going to do as far as this board is concerned.

I posted last on Wednesday, I said I was going to go work out and max out weights and I didn't do it. I went to the gym but I didn't report back, and I certainly didn't max any weights out

I went to the gym and worked out for 40 minutes, and got a phone call from the girl I"m into, kind of got off track for awhile.

The next day I was too tired to go to the gym, but I ended up playing some basketball for a few hours, and considered that the same as going to the gym.

Anyway, long story short, next day was Friday. I went to the gym, worked out for 40 minutes on a random interval on the elliptical trainer. Then I went and asked the guy at the counter to help me max out. He told me instead of maxing out, to find a weight that I was comfortable with for each exercise. The first was the bench press. I felt alright at 130lbs. I could do at least 10 reps of 3 sets. The next exercise was forearm curl, I was at 70. The other shit I did was, I don't know what it's called but it's the one where you sit up straight and reach behind you and press weights in front of you. I"m at 140 on that machine. Then I did 150 on the ab isolater. So I might need to do this again, but from the info I've gathered I want to set some real goals for the rest of the summer.

p.s. I formed this thread when I was feeling kind of down, but I've started working out, and I've got a lot of encouragement from you guys, and it helped a lot. My confidence has been better already, I was even up dancing when we went out the other night, and that never happens.

My next step is to start the TFP challenge/obligation board for those members who need some extra help getting in shape. I know I need all the help I can get and hopefully it will help others. Right now I"m just waiting for the proper time to set it al up. Hopefully I'll see a lot of you over there, whether you need to post on it or not.

Thanks for all your help.
