bah humbug...

dunno but i have no christmas spirit....maybe its the financial situation, maybe its the job, or the lack of companionship. could it be the over commercialization...having xmas stuff in stores since halloween....black friday sales....heck even christians are arguing over it. one side wants you to be able to say "merry christmas" and have displays that reflect jesus' birth. the other christians want people to forgo the commercial side and really reflect the meaning of the holiday!

so when was the last time you gave of yourself? sacrificed for others? donated your time? or are you waiting desperately for that one big present? that special gift just for you...

take the time and enjoy this holiday. wish someone a merry christmas, happy hanukah, or happy kwanzaa. throw some change in those red buckets, hug a friend, call someone you haven't talked to in a long time.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS....BEST WISHES!!

saturday pissings...

was supposed to go and do event training today. instead i turned off my alarm and slept in. not good...
went to the gym and punished myself severely. deadlifts 455 5 reps hook grip and chalk. my hands look like hell. good mornings, shrugs, pulldowns and pullups completely ruined my back. the eagle claw pullups always get looks in the gym. hope i can hold a pen tomorrow.

yesterday i murdered my triceps with close grip presses, extensions, pushdowns and incline presses. for some reason my arms really hurt today.

a few observations....
if you are a guy and have to use straps to lift 135lbs do some grip work. there are women stronger than you!

if you have to psyche up before calf raises you are a douchebag. try squats instead chicken legs!

where did i go?

no i was not on the witness protection program....

been busy and have let the blog go for a bit. finally decided to get back on write something.

went to the gym today...
retooled my training by doing a 5-3-1 program. very easy and simple.
hit legs today with front squats, hack squats and some calf work. the calves hate me...i have neglected the for too long. walked with my pooch 1.5 miles too. got to love the florida weather...could be snowing and cold.

i am looking at 2 comps early next year...march and april. hehe april is the europa again. pro qualifier in april!!
