Yep… I slightly fell victim the Holidays.  I had a legitimate reason to stop with the weights at first… my BJJ blue belt.  I primarily lift in the evening starting between 1545 and 1600, this was leaving my muscles very exhausted and making BJJ that much harder.  Well, after I got my blue belt instead of jumping right back into the iron game like I should have, I decided why not take the holidays off?  Why NOT!!!?!?!  Because you have goals, and goals don’t get achieved with excess and wasteful rest.  To make matters worse I got pretty sick right after the holidays and I’m just getting over that. 

Yesterday was my first day back and while I felt a lot weaker and don’t look nearly as muscular, that old fire came right back….YES!!!  Yes, my body screamed with the pump and I’m gladly feeling the after effects now.  My goal has not changed because I never reached it, but I’m now (again) pressing hard to reach this goal by Summer 09 and definitely by my 27th Bday (9/11/82).  Today is Back, Bis, and Quads… YEA, I never neglect my legs….let’s get it!!!!!!!
