I was punked today.

I went to the gym today so I could show some racks of iron that I was their boss.  I have big calves and I like doing legs so I was doing calf raises.

I don't know what my maximum is but last week I started with 90 pounds so I figured I would start with 130 pounds today.  I do declining ladders; that means that I did ten reps and dropped ten pounds and did 12 reps dropped ten more and did 14 all the way down to 70 pounds.  My calves are shaking and I decided to give them a break and do some arms for awhile.

I'm doing my declining ladder on arms and I see a guy doing leg lifts and then calf raises with 270 pounds.  My eyes aren't the greatest so I finished my set and waited for him to finish his.  I struck up a conversation with about calf raises.

He seems to be in his 70's, then he said that he had a grandson who was almost my age.  I'm 43, does that mean that this guy is pushing 80?  Son of a bitch.  This 80 year old guy just punked me out by doing almost 300 pounds in calf raises.  Son of a bitch, he was doing twice what I was doing.

I have a new goal.  And a competitor.
