Nothing special about today’s workout. I upped the weights on the row and that’s about it. This will be the 4th week since I talked to Eric Cressey (who happens to be on his way to APF Nationals…should total elite at 165) about my shoulder issues. After I finish next week I’m […]

Today I went to the gym with a pair of my regular shorts. These are not workout shorts but shorts you’d wear anywhere. The laundry hadn’t been done so these were going to have to do. I made it through the lunges just fine, but after 2 sets of front squats they […]

Part 1: Construction
This idea first started back when Scott, and I believe Alberto, posted up a post on Sandbag training. I downloaded the PDF and saved it on the computer. Once I finished the Bill Starr Program and found myself as stiff as a board I knew I needed to add a little […]

I’ve got a class tonight (and tomorrow…all day). It sucks but I’ve got to get it done. And then I get to do it again next weekend and then later in July. It’s a means to an end I keep telling myself. I did manage to avoid the 1000 calorie sandwich that I […]

Since I had a luncheon thing on Tuesday I had to skip working out on Tuesday and I’ll now be doing 3 days in a row (Wednesday, Thursday and Friday). Today was the light leg day and it was in the form of deadlifts.
Since I’ve switched to focusing on the strongman aspect […]

Nothing really to say for this workout. Weights went up as expected. Might up them a little bit next week, but we will see how I feel.
On a different note my knee isn’t bothering me as much and my shoulders/back feels awesome. We’ll see how it does as I move […]

Wasn’t sure how today was going to go, but once I got into the gym and got my warm up in, things went well. I may have tweaked my knee while out trout fishing yesterday, but it seemed to hold up well while squatting today. So perhaps it’s a non issue. I’ll keep […]

Awhile back I joined the iPod generation. And since then I’ve been going through podcasts. Some lifting related, other’s not lifting related. However I now seem to have settled on just those podcasts that are fitness related. For those that are looking for podcasts here’s the list that I currently have. If […]

I probably over did it with another deadlifting season in less than a week, but oh well. We’ll find out later if it was to much.
I’ve finally got my next workout phase planned. It’s Westsideish. It’s a 4 day a week. 1 day quad dominant, 1 day overhead press, 1 […]

On Tuesday our latest Netflix movie arrived and it was none other than Super Size Me. I’m sure many of you have heard about it, but if not I’ll try and give you the 1 minute summary. It’s basically about a perfectly healthy American guy, healthy according to all the doctors he saw […]
