First I want to say that I am a long time member Bench Presser my former user name. Since now I feel staying fit is more than just Benching plates I have become the user name faithandfitness. . Yet still Bench press is one of my favorite exercises in a routine. . I would never take that one out. .
There are some classic posters here for I have not seen in a great while. I remember several names but not everyone. I r member Tom Isbell, Doug Parrish, lovelace aka Pastor Mike, Bryan Kimball, Shane, gonzo medic and pitbull.
Its just that I would look at this board once in a while. . Hoping the classic posters one day would return to post sharing the Faith in God. While I am away some may not be lifting the same they once were. There are many who go from Power lifting to general workout and fitness routines. . So if one can not still lift 300 one can not lift 300 plus pounds there is nothing at all to feel any shame. .
We must remember Jesus bears the weight of the entire World.So whether you may be Heavy lifting or generally keeping in shape come on back and post with us here at CPOA forums. . For lifting up one another's Faith is heavier than a stack of solid gold.
As for myself I am sorry, but I am have been pretty inactive. Right now I would be lucky to push 225 pounds for 1 rep. I have had some medical problems but now I am doing better. This month in February I am starting on stretching and just walking around the house. . then in March I will start resistance at a low weight. Gradually I will climb up. I will say it will take at least 1 year to see myself back in a good stance of lifting. . I am not weak. But my memory of muscle not used for to long of a time. .
How about yourself? What is going on these days? What has others been doing now and has moved on to since not being around here at CPOA Lifting and Christian forums?. It almost feels like every member Raptured off the Earth. I have no contact with any one member. . Whatever e mail I was using I don't have anymore today. .
Also I encourage please join with us new members to share your Faith in God and your Lifting and or other Life testimonies on ‘the Forum. All the posters I remembered all promote a friendly posting environment feeling as fellow servants in the Lord. The members here from which I have known are quite nice, honest with a sharing Heart their Faith in God. . And these posters have had impact on me as role model weight Lifters. For these same guys that will pick up 200 over their head to throw on the mat will also be the same ones to hold the door open at the shopping center for an elderly woman carrying her purse and shopping bags. . For I have seen these Posters to be both strong and humble at the same time. .
But Fellow servants now please listen. For we have been gone for even longer than the Antichrist is to reign on Earth or we have been absent more than 3 and a half years of time more inactive among other Lifters. Face book is not the solution. Face book still has a lot of worldly friends and interaction in the midst of our Faith in God and our concentration of power and training in our weekly schedules. . Our friend Buddy want us to tell him did you eat a bucket of popcorn last week at the movies.? Jim is talking about his new car stereo, Ron is talking about some girl he likes who he sees in the cafeteria at work. Yes this is Face book topics. Now where is our Christian Bible God talk and where is our number of curls?. We belong more over here than Face book because we are surely a Christian Lifting Iron group . .
So I ask if you are Classic or if you are new member would you like to say Hi and How are you doing these days? And then feel free to post about the forum your preference of topic discussions. As for me I will say now that I am 42 years old. We live in the state of Illinois. It is Feb 7 2014 and we are getting a lot of ice and snow. Some days has been in the single digits. Also we are glad that the Seahawks won this years Super bowl. .
Did you know that Russell Wilson quarterback thanked God more than 2 times after the win. . There are several Christian players on the Seattle Seahawks. I don't want them to win every year. I am glad they won their first bowl.
Oooops, I forgot that ground hog . . Now I do know about this years winter. Valentines? I don't care much about that day. We celebrate only our anniversaries more than once a year. . As for Presidents Day any president is better than the one we have now Barrack Obama. I like Washington better than Lincoln because Washington was much more of a Brave person placing his life fighting for this Nation. . He was clear and direct about his faith in God and the inspiration to keep our Nation ‘One Nation Under God’. He was a true President of accomplishing life goals and dreams. . As for Lincoln he kind of reminds me more of a Medical kind of law maker with some good ideas he had. . but I really think his assassination outside of supporting to free the slaves is much why he is so remembered today. But he is much better than Franklin Roosevelt and several others.
