     I felt super weak on the presses and I'm sure all the push ups I had done were playing into that. It's humbling to get your ass kicked by a simple push up. It felt goos to get that dumnb bell work in; I've neglected them as of late. I feel like I'm getting back into some sort of routine, although the sessions are still scattered, I'm slowly adding more into them. 
     Not too happy about not squatting, but I'm trying to be mature and intelligent here! Those two things are not always easy to achieve in the gym. For me, anyhow, it's difficult at times to put that ego aside and let your brain lead the way. But there's something intoxicating about going in each week and testing yourself, seeing what your body can do. It's a mental pump. I'm still in the process of training my brain to be proud of not only physical accomplishments, but mental ones as well. People can see your physical accomplishments; you can take videos and show them off and people give you pats on the back and such. But those mental accomplishments -  having the discipline to go in when it's the last thing you want to do; having the restraint to stay out from under the bar when it may cause injury even when you're itching to push weight; those things are things that no one sees and not too many want to hear about. Be proud of them anyhow. For those people who just exercise, they'll never understand that the physical work is sometimes the easiest part. The mental work is exhausting and testing and it can beat you down. So in those times when you triumph over your own mind, be just as proud as in those times when you triumph over the iron. The mind is often a mightier foe.
