This all began last night. Before training, I go home for an hour or so and head back to train. I got a vent attachment as a gift and figured I would give it a try. I am not much of a phone video guy as seen in this video.     After this one I stopped because. A. It's stupid and B. I don't know what to say.   Now I get this clip so I don't have to hold the phone and figure I will give it another shot. No idea what to film so I filmed myself ordering burgers...  

Nothing else needs said...

  For some odd reason, this seemed to be a hit. I went back to the gym, trained, hit a real PR (I will write a training update soon) and head back home.

Before heading out I fired out a few text messages to people who know what I was training for to give them the update. Last Friday I had lunch with Vincent Dizenzo, Matt Rhodes and Jim Wendler and they told me I should post about my training cycle. Between them and the texts last night I've decided I will post it all - but later. By the time I got home, family time and caught up on reading and emails it was close to 2am. Very late for me.   I fall asleep and...   Let's just say I am not a morning person. How in the hell I used to train at 8:00 am after training clients from 5-7:00 am in beyond me. I got my ass up around 8:45 am and wobbled to the chair and sat and read for 30-45 minutes. Then checked email and started to move. Moving in the morning sucks ass! Right now it's even worse.   Why? I will post about that later as well. Trying to stay on point.   I make it out of the house and freeze my ass off in the car. Get to the gas station and pick up 2 AMP Drinks for work. I then remember the phone clip thing but am not in the mood to deal with filming a damn thing. So I use Siri to take pics and send texts (not as easy as you think but I figured it out). Actually the worst part was not being able to copy and text becuase Siri texting sucks ass so how person X knew what I was saying is beyond me. I guess the pics did the speaking.   Here is my way into work with the texts I was sending to person X.

MY TEXT:

Normal start to the day. Pick up drinks, meds, drive to Mcdonalds and wait in the reject line.

Fuck it... going to look at the new place. I really don't want to go to work right now. I guess driving around is still working. Even more so if I am going to look at new place.
