Well, today was a kick ass workout.  I didn’t want to get up but I forced myself out of bed at 4:45 .. went downstairs and turned on the coffee .. fell asleep on the couch while waiting for it to brew and got woken up by the alarm saying it was done.  Drank it all up, went to the basement and cranked up the tunes .. bruce S today.  Began my leg workout which I was expecting to be crap.  But much to my surprise …. it went like this ….

Great workout .. hit em good today and was pleasantly surprised.

Today was a good day.  I had a great back workout this morning.  5am came and I was pumped.  Went down to the basement, cranked up G-N-R’s and went heavy again on deads.  Heaviest I’ve gone since my high (385×3) in June due to my bum calf.  Nailed 6 x 305.  Work was good today too since I landed a long term contract.  Now, I’m done with work and off to coach my boy’s football team.  They’re 5 - 1, after that sucky one point loss on Sunday.  As long as the kids are upbeat, all is good !

I am new to this blog stuff.  Workouts have been going great.  5am is my favorite time of day.  Been consistent for months now.  A bit haphazard on goal setting but am on a split of Back, Chest/delts, Legs/arms.  I’ve been 30 minutes lifting, 30 minutes cardio.  Consistent !  Need to do something about the diet though.. it sucks !
