I trained early this morning with Lance today. Like 5 am start time early. Whenever I know I'm going to lift early like this I usually don't sleep very well the night before. I'm usually jacked up and sleep very lightly. I think it's my body saying, "Don't you dare oversleep. You've got iron to move." Despite the lack of sleep we were there bright-eyed and bushy-tailed.

Great session this morning. Bench was hard as hell but it will be a good starting point. I'm going to have to figure something out for the lat pulls because I had to have Lance put his foot on top of the weight stack to add extra resistance. Dips felt good and I look forward to getting stronger on them.
On a side note Lance and I have been training together since college. One of my favorite things about training with him is the way he encourages whoever he is spotting. He usually yells, "Come on!" a bunch of times. It's not what he says, though. It's how he says it. It sounds a lot like a very disappointed father yelling at his son. The inflection in his voice makes you picture a dad who is a big sports nut who wants his kid to be good at baseball but the kid only wants to sit on the ground and pick dandelions. Punch, drink, cry.
