Hey everyone. I promised to check back in with you guys about my finger injury and how it went with my weight lifting routine. There’s a small chance I may have broken something. I’m still waiting to see how time heals this wound! ha ha

Plus I also give a shout out to @MattsMedia from Twitter for giving me heck for what he called “the worst workout video ever”… LOL!! Hey Matt, cheat days are important, man!! Its all about adherence ya know!

and finally, I have a NEW FEATURE!!! I’m very excited about my new feature, and a special thanks goes out to @aliciasparks from Twitter for inspiring me to figure out how to make this work (and another thanks to @jarret for pointing me at the resource to make it work). After the video you’ll see what I’m talking about:


NEW FEATURE!!!!

As it happens the last song playing in the background as I signed off of my video today was one of my very FAVOURITE workout songs, so I thought “How fitting” and decided to make it my inaugural song. Check it out. If you like it, you can click thru and buy it for your own collection.

Workout Song of the Day – AND ONE – Panzermensch
(awesome for Cardio because the driving beat makes me want to run faster, but this song also has just enough angst in it for lifting too – I don’t know German but the angst comes from the tone of his voice for me)

Hey gang!! Well, my cheat day was a roaring success … too much so perhaps!! I catch you up on just how much ‘off the program’ misbehaviour I got up to… and admit to the fact that I came home with what is sometimes referred to as a “UPI” (unidentified party injury)… however, this is not “unidentified”… I know full well how I did it!! Now the question remains: how am I going to work out with this injury?

Thankfully its not a larger injury (cuz it very well could have been). But stay tuned, I’ll let you know how it goes over the next few healing days.

cheers!

Hi Everyone!! Well, I had a fun and filling cheat day on the weekend. I completely overdid it, and suffered some self-punishment (aka: penance) for it today!! hahaha.. that’s what I get for getting completely carried away over the weekend!

Also, I recently did a little experiment trying to find my 1RM (1 Rep Max) with Leg Press (and for the record finding your 1RM means the heaviest weight at which you can do ONE REP with GOOD FORM). I discovered something rather interesting with regards to the principle of Specificity. I share it with you here.
