nlmain - LOL! I didn’t know I had fans but I’ll produce a vid for you guys.
git - I need to add Board Presses back in. I’m a little hesitant to do so @ the commercial place I’m at (since it’s pretty much a PF) but maybe I will just to piss off mgmt and get some strange looks.
kev - Thanks buddy. Funny how the grass seems to always be greener on the other side.I love the stuff you do and am always looking for ways to incorporate that kind of work into my sessions.
james - They are pretty good. I don’t log it but I do a ton of YWTL’s, overhead shoulder dislocates, etc and I’ve been doing some t-spine rolling as well. The upper “girdle” feels pretty good these days. Now my right elbow (from gripping) is another story. Can’t seem to get rid of that “nag”
On a side note, ask me about my shoulders on Friday morning as I have chest day planned for Thursday. I won’t be doing any flat benching though, so we’ll see.
Thanks EyeD. (I originally typed ED but then looking at your avi, you became a whole different kind of doctor)

Had planned to include SG Dead’s but my SI joint is rather bothersome. Not sore to touch (which I assume it would be if it was a foam rolling overuse issue) but rather in an extended position. Flexed (seated) seems fine. Hyperextending seems to send me some signals of pain right from that joint.
I’m not sure if these have been posted before but I just found them this morning. It’s an entire series of video’s from the University of Miami with alumni Ray Lewis, Future HoF LB’r, addressing the Miami football team.
This one struck a chord with me.
This guy has a career as a motivational speaker when he’s done.
So my weight has climbed to 184.2 this morning and I’ve been a steady 184 give or take .5 a lb so I’m going to increase calories again. I’ll say this; my diet was not even close to super tight over the past 4 weeks and I’m a little softer (mostly around the handles) but would still classify myself as Lean (as opposed to RFL).
I’ve actually been chatting with an acquaintance/friend who is helping me get carbs back into my “lifestyle”. So there will be some experimenting with higher carb meals over the next 4 weeks (which incidentally is when I’ll take some more pics – right before the Christmas bloat).
I’ve also added a daily cleanse product into my diet. I think Kent will recognize some of the contents; sprouted chia seeds, flax seed, psyllium seed husk, sprouted brown rice powder and probiotics. 3 days after starting this (1/3 cup/day), I lost 2.2lbs. I shouldn’t say “lost”. I know which bowl I lost them in.
Strength is still climbing although I’ve found as I’ve “grown” on the rebound, that joint issues are popping up so I’ll need to be very aware of those and keep working on mobility. Thank heavens for the O35 sticky!
Side note: I’m now thinking I may do a show next fall (October) as opposed to the spring. Either way, trophies in 2012. Just a matter of ‘effort’.

Yeah, I’m taking those and a whole lot more. The volume and enthusiasm of the pooping is ridiculous.
Ya’ know, 185 is really, REALLY solid. I doubt I’ll be that weight when I start cutting. I hope you’re pleased.
