Since I’ve been busy over the past few weeks I’ve lowered my intensity in the gym a bit. The reason being, my focus just isn’t there. I’m not making a big push to get bigger at this point but am just trying to maintain a bit and see if I can’t enhance the quality of my muscle a bit. This is why you are seeing some higher rep ranges, longer contractions, etc. Over the next weeks you’ll notice I’ll be increasing slow negatives and the tempo of rep performed.

I’ve been fairly busy as of late working on a few patents for various sports applications. It’s quite an undertaking but in today’s day and age, it’s the proper step to ensuring your "ideas" aka intellectual property don’t fall into the hands of others. Believe it or not, a hobby of mine has been studying the legal maneuvering of supplement companies as they defend themselves against intellectual property infringement or enforce it. A lot of this doesn’t spill over into public knowledge but you really gain a respect for those companies trying to be novel and protecting their intellectual property. It’s not easy, especially in an industry where knock offs are very  common. Companies are so brash as to even copy the exact look of a competitor’s product and copy their marketing ad copy almost verbatim. It is what it is I guess.
