Ambitious, Chest and Biceps

This morning was beautiful in Tucson. It was a bit warmer and overcast which always makes the Arizona sunrise look like something out of a dream.

We got up and Graham was determined to improve his maximum bench press today. He maxed out at 185 lbs. the other day and was going for a nice round 200 lbs. We have tried maxing out in other exercises and at times have failed and when we do we simply look at each other and say, "Ambitious". Well, this morning 200 lbs. did seem ambitious but Graham was able to put it up!

Today's quote is from Madonna:

"I'm tough, ambitious, and I know exactly what I want."
