For 10 weeks I went full bore and saw awesome results. Kim and I each made transformation of the week and I had an awesome time shooting with Ian.  Then… 10 weeks of better numbers, leaner mass, more cardio, double workouts, working through tendenitis in my right arm and BAM!!!!  Sore shoulders and tender elbow - left arm.  I am sure my hard core dumbell shoulder workouts had nothing to do with it.  My off alignment cable and dumbell flys as well.  OK - time for a change up any way!  Time to learn what went wrong and keep building!  So - drop 20% weight, go to 5 count reps with focus on squeeze.  Burn out on cables or machines with proper alignment.  Arms only once a week.  More sleep.  Think!!!  Now on week 2 - (skipped arms entirely on week 1) are starting to feel a little less tender.  Shoulder soreness completely gone.  Now that I am through chest and back days - we will see how arms do.  THis is a chance to focus - not a set back.  Thanks for listening!  Have an AWESOME week!

Well, it has been quite a week!  Kim and I both were selected for back to back "Transformation of the Week" spots:

and to top it off, Ian (aka Second Focus) did me the honor of offering to shoot me!

While Kim and I both have come a long way on our fitness journey and have a long way to go, it is humbling, uplifting, and motivating to get this kind of recognition.  So we are going to enjoy the moment, appreciate the progress - and get our butts to the gym in the morning for cardio

Thanks to all for their many congratulatory comments and the longstanding support from both the community and BB.com!

Well, once again I have been reading the articles on the super site and found some folks have been where I want to go.  Based on their experience - I decided to up my cardio to 45 minutes this week.  Well, it was a new experience but now I am kicking myself for taking so long to do it.  I am trying to get in peak shape for the 4th of July and this really feels good!  Now - I just need to bring extra towels for the water loss.  Looks like I dropped about 5 lbs of water this morning in the 45 minutes on the treadmill so I feel like I am accomplishing something Anyway - have a great week all and Keep It Up!
