Tuesday and Wednesday Training
Tuesday It's been beautiful outside so I took advantage. It was 80 degrees around 1pm so I went outside and pushed the Prowler. I put 90lbs on it and did 10 sets of 40 yards. I didn't time anything, but I'm guessing my rest was around 1 minute between sets. I get very impatient waiting […]

Unfortunately I’m getting stuck in the usual endless cycle of treating symptom after symptom without ever getting to the root cause of the problem.
Powerbuilding: Week 2
The second week of my foray into bodybuilding, while still training to get strong(er)!
Tuesday Nov 1
Today our lifters did a boatload of reps for their upper body based session. I think we have on board a 132lb female who will open some eyes and be by far the strongest 132/148lb female we have had. She is very coachable and a dual threat. We can after March have (3) female lifters […]
My Goal Is To Leave A Positive Influence On Everyone I Meet
Floor Press: Start by adding 10 lbs. Now normally speaking that would mean "Add FIVE pounds to each side of the bar and forget that it is there". That way, you are already ahead of last week's numbers. Well...when you leave it open to interpretation there can be some interesting values to it. Like a […]

What Shall It Be??? Start A Revolution or Take a Nap? Hmmm...
I get asked quite often if I'm "ready to get out of here" when it's getting time to leave. I run around the gym and take care of things that might have been overlooked by MY groups and pick it up and store it away. That's usually the indicator that I'm getting ready. However, I'm […]
I'm OK With Women Who Won't Admit Their Age, Since I Rarely Ac...
From the notes out of my own book, I realized today that I was exhausted. From my 24/7/365 early wake up and last night's late bed time (Post Hockey Dry Land Training and AWFUL commute) I was tired and sore. No amount of water and food helped, so I thought it better to back off […]
Moderation is for Cowards and P@ssies
Sports have often been referred to as a microcosm of society. What goes on in sports, goes on in everyday life and great lessons can be learned. I consider the preparation of sport or the TRAINING to be a MICROCOSM of sports, to some extent. What goes on in sport can be found early on […]

I read that Hunter's bud that plays Hockey in Pennsylvania, dropped a Heart Breaker while Hunter's team got beat as well. Sam […]
