On Monday I had a workout and I broke my Dead lift 3x record by a lot. With a thorn in my foot! Over the weekend I stepped on something in the back yard and I have been dealing with this thorn for a couple of painful days. It was just behind the ball of…
At the gym I go to, studio 831, we have the wall of shame/fame what ever you want to call it. On this wall you have records of your times compared to others. My trainer has decided to put my times on the wall, and for me personally, I have high expectations, so today was…

today I had a lot of new exercises in the routine along with a later than normal time. Normally I workout in the mornings, but today I had workout at noon which is a nice change of pace. This was the first workout since last week. I have been down with a cold and didn’t…
It’s official. I really like this style of working out. It’s not about raw strength, but the combination of strength and conditioning to build and maintain your core strength. I have been working out in the gym since 2003 where I primarily focused on the classical strength training routines. The strength training exercises worked well…
