Background
When I Started: Feb 2009
HOW I STARTED:
I had always been athletic growing up, so I wanted to be fit. I never had a problem with weight, so didn't appreciate the value of a proper diet. I was in a commercial for my employer, saw it, and said...I'm fat! I was 175 and weak.
WHY I LOVE IT:
I feel better about myself. I also want to set a standard for my kids, that getting older doesn't mean it's okay to let yourself go. The 'gut' is not an experience trophy. I want to challenge myself to become more muscular, and be ready anytime someone asks, "You wanna play?"

OK...I'm sold.
Posted in Training : Dec 28, 2010 5:33pmInto second week of Max OT...Never felt stronger! After sitting down on my second set of squats at 345 last week and dropping the weight down for my last set, I pounded through 3 sets of 6 reps at 345 with no problem. Follow that with 3 sets of 6 at a new weight for leg presses, and my motivation was off the charts! Put on a pound and a half, feel like I can't wait to get into the gym for arms tomorrow...I'm in for the long haul.
Yes, you can do the Janda situp...(or can you?)
Posted in Training : Dec 28, 2010 5:33pmI first learned of the Janda situp when reading the Sports Supplement Review. Pavel Tatsouline introduced it into one of the workout routines in that publication. Now, I had been loading up the weights on ball crunches and machines, so I wanted to give it a try. Problem is that with my schedule, it's tough to find a workout partner who can apply the necessary pressure on the calves while I performed the exercise. The situp looks ordinary enough...legs at a 90 degree angle, feet on the floor...the difference is that instead of putting your feet under pads, which allows you to utilize the hips t...
Fresh Start...Tough Ending
Posted in Training : Dec 28, 2010 5:33pmPulled out my trusty copy of Sport Supplement Review to get back in the gym. Did a decent job of picking starting weights...or so I thought. After my last set of the day I went into minor shock. I've felt this before, but now that I'm getting older I begin to worry about how if affects me long term. I love this workout regimen so it won't affect my motivation, but I know what it feels like to be in shape and this sux!
