Up until a couple of years ago when I had lost 15 lbs, couldn’t keep any food down, and finally caved in and went to the ER

Ok, maybe not "new".

Then whisper... “you know what to do” and walk away.

Still alive and kicking. I had a great vacation in Aruba and managed to get a bunch of training in.

The more you feed into it, the more you satisfy the critic. That’s exactly what they’re looking for. Delete it, block them, let it go and move on. I can assure you you’ll be much better off.

My first show started at 9:00 a.m. and ended well past 1:30 a.m., that over 16 hours of you are doing the math.

It's no fun when the other side drops the rope

Seems like there's something in the air.  My allergies are kicking my butt.  Funny, because I don't have issues with allergies.  Kentucky is a different animal.  My first year down here lit me up.  Last year I was good.  For some reason, I'm fighting some issues, now.  I'm loaded to the gills on caffeine, allergy […]

on the hospitals intercom system is funny

I’m pretty sure this is the first time I’ve referred to Trinity as my wifey. Anyway, my regular training partners were gone again so she agreed to join me for motivation. Other than trying to talk to me in the middle of my sets things went well and I appreciate her support.

You've followed every coach on social media, listened to every podcast, and gave out your business card to everyone you've met at every conference you attended. So why are you on your third consecutive unpaid internship?

Week 6 done... about 7 more to go.

Back to training 4 solid days a week. Starting each session with 15 minutes of stepmill. Adding alittle more intensity each session.  Sundays I am pushing the prowler or pulling sled.  This week was sled for 45mins. Main goal now is to get some muscle back that I lost during the radiation and chemo. So […]

Very often I get fleeting thoughts that I think would make a great read. Two issues with that: 1. I write for a selected few, and they think I'm psychotic regardless 2. I usually forget what it was that I thought would be worth writing     about.   Here I am with no workout […]

You have heard the saying, old soldiers never die, they just fade away? Well, old powerlifters never die either, they just get a new hip and keep on lifting.
