I Can Bench almost 400 lbs…….

One year ago at this time I could bench press 385 lbs. Now this is nowhere near the world record not even close, yet a lot more than the average person. That was a year ago, right now I bench less than 300. What happen you ask…. Simple I wasn’t working out as hard I changed up my workout started a new career it took some time before I got my routine back on track (To be honest about 6 months). I use to be on strict schedule never missed a workout. I always pushed myself, I set goals. As a personal trainer I know all the insides and out of living fit and training. People pay me to help them get in shape. Now yes I still worked out (at least once a week) and looked fit but I wasn’t where I use to be or even where I could have been. I know this happens to all of us in some aspects of life maybe it’s going to college or starting a business or any goals you are trying to accomplish. There are distractions in life things happen. In life even to maintain what we have, we have to work at it. If I want to keep benching almost 400lbs I have to work at it. Whether it’s your mind, body or relationships with spouses, friends or children. Even your position at work just because you were good on the first year doesn’t mean now you can slack off and exspect the same results it doesn’t work like that. The same is true with our relationship with Christ. Yes we may look the part or every once in awhile spend time with him. Are we being consistent, are we growing in Christ or we being distracted by the things of this world.
