Today was the anniversary of my father’s death 2 years ago. This workout and Scivation helped get me through it. The fact that he died of complications from diabetes brought on by an unhealthy lifestyle brings everything that I do for a living into perspective even more. We promote HEALTHY diets that help to prevent Syndrome X and type 2 diabetes through insulin control and weight control. This is why I am so excited about the books and the programs we promote. Well, that and the fact that while being HEALTHY, you can also forge a DAMN GOOD body!

Chest was good and I took a new pic at 192. Here is is!

Jason earned my respect. All of this volume and he walked out of the gym, although it was more of a limp. We did not stop and pushed it to the limit. This will go down as one of the CRAZIEST sessions I have ever done.

I am even more cut and veiny now. I cannot wait until my next bulk cycle! I think I will start around February depending on if I am lean enough IMO or not.

As for family, we had ceasar salad, chicken cutlets and latkes for dinner with homemade ice cream cookie sandwiches. I cooked up a storm. We had my business partner Howard over for dinner and it was a helluva time!

This was the hardest leg workout ever! We all limped out of the gym. It was quite a contrast from our last workout at the dungeon due to the non-hardcore atmosphere, but it was amazing!

The team is dialed in and ready to do some damage in 2008. Our new training video should be up today!
