Newflash! I just wanted to point something out about nutrition and training with the end goal of fat loss. (and I emphasize fat loss since that's what we're concerned primarily with; not just losing 'weight' for the sake of losing weight .... right? RIGHT?) You know, the only way for nutritional strategy to work for you is if you actually follow it. Make sense? I sure hope it makes sense. You can't expect a diet, no matter how well designed it is, to work, if you don't follow it - whether that means changing it in such a way that you're eating too much, not eating enough/skipping meals, secretly cheating and eating off plan too much, etc. Same goes with exercise - if you... read more 9 comments

So I'm at the gym last night, done chest and hitting the tail end of my higher rep leg work, when what do I see as I come up to the next piece of equipment that I need? A guy drinking a PEPSI! A PEPSI during his workout. :lol: I had to do a double take on that one. Figured I'd give a sample of last night's chest work. Incline DB Press - 4x6 w/ 95s Flat DB Flies - 3x6 w/ 60s Incline Bench Press - 3x8,6,6 w/ 205lbs Flat DB Press - 3x8,7,6 w/ 75s And I'm spent! :lol: After this workout I headed home where I had a massage appointment (a friend of ours is an RMT and she just brings her... read more 16 comments

So remember that vet appointment Dexter had on Saturday? The $300 one? Well, it turns out he had a reaction to one of the drugs they gave him. The skin around his eyes started drooping, his head was swelling and he was getting these little bumps all over his face/head. Plus he was throwing up. Of course, the vet was closed by the time this happened so we had to take him to the animal emergency (another $100). They gave him a couple shots and the reaction seemed to subside. That was a bit of a scare. He's still throwing up today though so whatever they gave him sure didn't agree with him. Poor guy. So a few days ago... read more 9 comments

So as previously mentioned, yesterday was my heavy shoulder/light arm workout. This is probably one of the 'easier' workouts of the week (the other shoulder/arm day being a bit easier). Easier in the sense that shoulders and arms generally isn't ever as hard as hitting back or legs hard. When you think of shoulder exercises, the first thoughts you have are probably different sorts of presses (dumbbell, barbell, seated, standing, push press, etc) and probably some kind of lateral raise exercise. Everyone (or rather, most) does laterals but it's one of those movements that unfortunately no one will ever be strong on. Of course, that assumes one is doing the movement correctly to begin with. It's just such an isolated... read more 8 comments
