I just ran into Best Buy to purchase some batteries. The kid at the counter asked me for my zip code and phone number to which I replied, "90210 and 867-5309". He never questioned or looked up at me once. Today's Training: AirDyne: 30 mins Bike Commute: 26 mins. (riding angry) Bench: 11x11x+10 total pounds […]

I used to have a training partner many years ago with whom I would switch training notebooks to get our workouts. I would design his and he would design mine. He would give me a list of many things to do at times and I knew it was a bullshit workout. I would give him […]

I had to leave the gym early today to meet a plumber at my house. I have a very difficult time leaving a facility unattended. "Murphy's Law" states that if anything bad is to happen, it will!" Hopefully, I pray, everyone will be fine. As for the plumber? I wait patiently for a person that […]

A small selection of exercises but MAN o MAN...what an exhausting session. (as all have been this past week, only to set next week up) Run: 3.0 mile fartlek run (again) Yes I know, two days in a row is kind of hard on the old joints, BUT...the dog has to go out and it's […]

Hate the Prowler, it hates you.

Today's Training: Fartlek Run: 3 miles. "Fartlek" is basically translated into "Speed Play" This is where you Jog, then you run, then Sprint, and even slow down and walk to recover. Although a REAL runner would never walk. hahaha For me I sprint as FAR as I can until I bust a lung or pop […]

Throughout the years I've had friends recommend or request that I write a book. I always think that "sure, why not. Seems like a good idea", but then I stop and think, "who the heck would want to read it?" I mean really, write about training? There are VOLUMES of that stuff. Write about nutrition? […]

I have anxiously awaited this for a while now. In less than 2 weeks, I will finally get to start a cut cycle after being back to what I consider to be my "100%". No, my legs are certainly not 100% in reference to the size I had prior to my injuries that started in […]

We're about to start a new phase and while this workout LOOKS easy, it's both time-consuming AND lower body draining. Heck, I almost nodded off at the conclusion. It's also important record the starting weight because each week we will lessen the set/rep count and ADD weight. Let's get ready to RUMBLE... Today's Training: AirDyne: […]

The story is more about MOTIVATION rather than a sad story of a dog, so look deeper than just the surface... There was a young man walking on the sidewalk down a lovely street when he came upon a house with a wide front porch with a double swing, a couch, and a rocking chair […]

When I open the gym part of the procedure is to turn on the Spotify/Pandora station. I rarely give two cents worth what is on from the night before, so I usually will press "play" and endure whatever... However, once in a great while I will feel like something that I actually want to hear. […]

A few months ago I was working with a client who is not living up to their potential on their log press and I tried to explain to them what I wanted them to do and the typed word and even the spoken word sometimes just doesn't get the job done, so I did it […]
