When I first came to this school I would say that I was a weakling I could barely lift weights I got tired very fast. When I first started strength training all I did was 10 pounds on the bar which I knew was bad looking at all the other people and I wanted to get stronger like like my friends in Brown City. Halfway through first trimester I had to do bench press with my partners and I seen your head walked up to me and he said “why don't you try a plate.”
“I'll try but I'm pretty sure I won't be able to”. While trying to lift the bar Off the Bench plates on I was unable to so I needed a spot, I couldn't even bring the bar down and struggled to try and put it back on the bench. I had tried so hard to lift it but in the end could not and the senior said “don't hurt yourself if you can't do now give …show more content…
So throughout the school year I worked extremely hard pushing myself harder than most my partners though I still think I could have tried a lot harder and trimester 2 by the end of trimester 2 I was able to do a set of two with 40.
During trimester 3 I had slipped up a bit but three weeks in 2 trimester 3 I'd push myself even harder than both trimester 1 & 2 combined. i was to the point where it hurt to move and push through the pain never lost sight of the goal I was trying to reach. I had finally gotten to my goal of bench pressing 45 pounds but that wasn't enough, I wanted to complete a complete set a 45 so going up I'd gone from just barely lifting the bar to being able to do a set of six maybe even more.
5 in the last couple weeks of school I went and talked to the same senior that I had tried to get me to do 45 pounds in the beginning of the year. I had told him that I had reach my goal I don't know if he was proud or not but either way I felt good knowing that I had got into my goal. I will shoot to go even higher next year in my sophomore
