Lacking the intensity

I’ve been unable to find the intensity in all of my workouts. I’ve changed some things around with my schedule and my routine has been vastly altered to break up the monotony. On cardio days, for some reason, I’ve had a hard time pushing myself. I’ve been plagued with minor joint injuries over the [...]

The requisite gym update post

What would you do without the requisite gym update post? Probably continue through your life without skipping a beat – but, I feel the overwhelming need to write something new and the only thing on top of my head is my progress at the gym.

The did it in Abu Ghraib prison to people that didn’t deserve the treatment. I do it to myself on a daily basis. Why in the world would somebody beat the ever living crap out of their body? Why would someone push themselves until they were in so much pain that they thought they [...]

Kicking it in the Cornfields

I’ve been back home for the past couple of days hanging out with my family. The girlfriend has been with me and for the most part we’ve been having fun. I had to deal with reality for the first time when I took my dad to his chemo and radiation treatments. I’ve been out [...]
