Strong gym today. My 40 someting in shape friend did 500 lb deads today, then started pullups and he pulled out the exact pullup weight belt I use. He said he works out 5 days/week in that gym. Guy’s smart. A younger version of me?

I am not a coffee fan per se. But I do know, when I wake up at 4:00 AM and it is workout day, and I think, “To Hell with this…” After a cup of Doughnut Shop Blend, I am ready to go. Good job on your session.

I try to do black coffee before a workout. I also drink ZipFiz from Costco during my workouts. It seems to be a good combination.

I’ll look for ZipFiz. It would have helped my coffee today.
