Anybody looking for a good lat burn?  My training partner and I do 10 sets of 10 pull-ups (5 wide grip, 5 close in) for a great start to a back workout.  Actually we are pretty fried by the time we do pull-downs but try it for a good burn. Did the workout tonight and I’m feeling pretty good.

It is week 4 of our company Fitness Challenge that I developed for our team.  We have 30 people on board and so far we have lost 134 pounds!  Everyone is doing great but I can tell that people are starting to lose steam.  If there is anyone out there that has done a corporate fitness challenge, any ideas would be appreciated! 

Okay, so I was in a rut for a couple days.  Just felt so tired at the gym and my diet was nothing to brag about.  I must have been fighting a cold or something but I am feeling so much better.  Did some HIT this morning and got called the energizer bunny.  I guess I can’t argue, I give 110% each day I am in the gym.  Any less and I feel that I am cheating myself, I mean why just waste an 1-1/2 to 2 hours because you didn’t get it in your head that you were in it for the burn! 

Continuing to lean out but I think it is so interesting how you can look in the mirror and look like you are getting shredded and 6 hours later you are retaining water.  Anyone else get that feeling sometimes –the feeling your body is like a roller coaster with the bloat and water retention.  Also, does anyone else feel like their muscles are holding onto water after a really grueling strenth training session?  (I am not on creatine but I get that feeling anyway).
