Life altering you say? Hopefully for the better. And burritos make everything better. Now if you can get a burrito, queso, and some tequila, the world is instantly a happier place.

Always for the better. Different, but better! Worked like 13 outta 14 days the past two weeks and was just worn down.

Burrito time is my favorite time!!! No tequila, but I had some queso in my burrito. Energized to Deathlift tomorrow and get some prowler time.

2 mile pup walk and gonna mow the back yard when the sun goes down a little.

Writing a paper on Alistair Overeem and his steroid “defense” for class. Fun stuff

NOTES:

Weights are feeling AMAZING right now. Everything is flying around. Enjoying this!!

Quote up top is from (besides obvious reference) one of my favorite bands… This song means a lot to me.

Sprints were done two at a time. I’d do one trip down and then turn right around and do another. Rested about a minute between. These sucked. I’m just gonna keep being consistent and the adaptation will come. Feeling really good about what I’ve gotten accomplished so far.

I did a little correspondence interview with Coach Harry Selkow of EliteFTS fame. I’ll be subsequently writing a paper over the content. Bad ass!!!

CONDITIONING

2 miles with my dog/son

NOTES

Stopped my last short. I’ve been pushing my sets a lot and figured I’d pull it back a little. All pressing movements are paused and explosive. Also, I may switch over to the dark side and bench with a thumbless grip. It just feels way better off the chest.

Rowing and Krocs felt great.

Reread my personal 10 “rules/commandments” of what I think being awesome is. I needed to remind myself what my goals are and how much my own attitude toward my thoughts influences my perception.

Blah, blah… Emo stuff!!! Time to drink some Surge Recovery and head to work.

I was viewing certain things in my life negatively and consequently was making myself more anxious and depressed for no real reason.

That reference to BTTF was actually a reference to a song title! Lol
