Today is a day worth celebrating, a day I've wanted to come for about a year. When it comes to the bench, I am prey to jocks' sarcasm because of my lack of skills to put up some iron.
Translation: I suck at bench-press.
The biggest plate you can put on one side of the bar weighs 45 lbs, sometimes called a "Cadi" because it's twenty inches in diameter, like the rims of a delicious ride. For as long as I've been lifting, it's been a personal goal to put one "Cadi" on each side, and lift it ten times. I couldn't even do it once before summer, but today I was a champion. I put it up ten times, and then jumped up and started yelling like...a jock. Ladies, this isn't a story to impress, because that is only a sad 135 lbs. Like I said, a personal goal was accomplished today, so my day kicked ass.
