Here I am

Ok, so, I'm not always the smartest guy...

I somehow managed to lose my spot here and couldn't find my blog and to be honest, I'm not sure if I will find my way back as I'm unsure how I managed to get back here. Confused? Yeah, me too...

Anyway, lots going on. A few weeks back, I went to the Arnold Classic in Columbus, OH and met with some old pals and had some meetings about business. I came away a bit reloaded and work started on a new web site. In that time, a pal of mine that I train worked on my current forum and we are revamping that site as well.

The cool things have been all the things going on. I will continue to write for the Beverly International Newsletter. I am working on a monthly column on our training that will be on the House of Pain website. It is my hope in the next month to start hosting a radio show and I'm doing phone interviews for another website. I'm talking to some folks about relaunching the clothing line as well. Many irons in the fire and even some I haven't mentioned so, my absence has been from being so busy and...I couldn't find my way back.

Take a peak and let me know your thoughts.

Cleaning my slate

Given the issues with my family and Mother and being as busy as ever, I have slacked. So, if anyone has been reading and wondering, I am back. I also managed to screw up the password thingy here and finally, I got back. I have started a new training cycle. I don't know specifically when I'll compete again. I felt I needed to pull the plug with all the injuries and the issues with family, etc.

So, I'll post later on about what the training has been like and what's been going on in the strength world as the last 3 weeks have been extremely busy.

Week 15 in training

Had a productive bench session Monday. I got back in the bench shirt and hit:
585x2-missed the 3rd at the top as the shirt wasn't right
585x3-much better
605x3-best set

95 to go

Tuesday I went easy again as I'm healing fromthe groin/hamstring injury
Squatted 505x2 top set with just a belt and it was fin but, the leg was extremely tight. This is much better than the 325 the week before that was painful.

Wednesday was a light day. After pushing pretty hard on Monday and not wanting to aggravate the leg, I did a little aux work and a few Oly and log lifts and spent my time coaching the group.

This morning was pretty good. My shoulders are still a bit tight from Monday so I stayed at 500 for declines. Today was a flat back day.

500x6-3 sets
475x8

Each set felt better as I went along

Tomorrow I'll deadlilft and then gather myself for the drive to Columbus, Ohio for the Arnold Classic. This is a business trip. I am launching a new website and much of the work will be done by a pal of mine that I will meet there and hang most the weekend with. I am to meet with the supplement distributor that i do lots of work and business with on my writing for them and then another meet with Super Human Radio. There is interest in me hosting a show for them so, we will see. So, think positive thoughts and hopefully this will be time and money well spent.
