SETTING UP MY NEXT 5/3/AWESOME MESOCYCLE
I am putting together my next month of training. You'd think I was splitting the atom. Keeping everything in working order takes some thought. Also, updated with last week's deload.

Stay'n Home
I have always been a fan of "Old School" R&B when it comes to music. I have also been a fan of "groove'n to the music" that comes on any particular station ESPECIALLY Old School R and B. It's rhythm and it's bass reach my SOUL. I use Pandora in the gym and yesterday was […]
