“If you are strong in one record, you will break any other record you want to break. It is all a cycle. It is all in your mind. Everything is a dream….. *looks around* my dreams turn into nightmares *laughs*”

There is no reason you cannot do every thing you say you want to. Apply this thought-process to EVERY aspect and...
Good morning!
Great discussion so far regarding the bench press post I made yesterday. A friend has asked some really common questions and it has been a good opportunity to clarify technique and get things moving in the right direction.
I was able to write the bulk of the bench article yesterday and will have that completed this afternoon for publication tonight. In the meantime, please send any...
heavy Squat, super Pull, weak Bench?
Do you have a heavy Squat, super Pull, and weak Bench numbers? (this is me for a couple of reasons, HAHA!) ** Maybe you need to work on the arch of your back on the bench. **
When powerlifting was first popular and gear was not yet, a lot of lifters were flat on the bench for a while before realizing an arched back would offer valuable LEVERAGE.
I think back to when I first got serious about...
What is *normal* eating?
Hello to you. :)
I found something by nutritionist, Ellyn Satter, that I wanted to share with you.
I like this all so much, and I think it would be reasonable to say anybody could benefit from reading it. I appreciate the fact that Ellyn acknowledges so many things that people blame themselves for. Food is not about guilt….it never should be. Food is beautiful and delicious. There is a...
Supplement Resources
Hello & happy Sunday to you. This weekend vanished way too soon, but I did get a lot accomplished. It felt like a lot of business and a little play, though. Haha :( That is alright! I have had excellent training and posing - I am headed out shortly for Ballin Biceps & Big Back.
I ordered my pre-competition supplements last night - I am using Beverly International products, ordered...
Nutrition: Turk-e-zekiel Avocado Sandwhich
Greetings to you. I made this for my friend this evening, and he seemed to like it. All-in-all, it proves to be a pretty healthy sandwhich. One could easily split this into two smaller meals if this is too heavy as-is.
2 slices of toasted Ezekiel bread 1/2 ripe Avocado 6 oz lean 99% fat-free ground Turkey 1 oz Sharp Cheddar Cheese
I did not intend to have a skewer**, but there were unused...
Connecting & Accountability
Hello to you!
I hope this meets you well and that you have some fancy plans for the weekend. If you trained hard all week, do not forget to enjoy an active rest day to give your body some time to grow. Keep in mind that rewarding yourself for hard work by doing things that will benefit neither your body nor mind can be counterproductive. This does NOT mean to say you should not enjoy treats or...
Train, Eat, Sleep
Push your limits by training as though you are a professional athlete.
Fuel your body by eating as though you are a nutritionist.
Rest and recover by sleeping as though you are a baby or a kitten. =^.^=
Be your honest best by believing in and valuing yourself as though you are your own hero.
WIN AS THOUGH YOU ARE A WORLD CLASS CHAMPION.
I am here for you > 100% if you ever need somebody...
When you wake up in the morning tomorrow and realize you still have an hour and half before you have to start grooming for the day, get up.
At that very moment, somebody more exhausted and busy is working hard.
If you really do not want to get up, telephone me and I will motivate you like a Marine Corps DI….if you know me, you know I will. ;) Stay FOCUSED.
No fear. No distractions.
I wanted to do my take on Tyler Durden of Fight Club, inspiration for the title of my column. I did not intend to hit it spot on, so there is a lot missing, but I had fun. ;)
“No fear. No distractions. The ability to let that which does not matter truly slide.”

I hope you are having a fantastic week. Cast a peeper out for the February giveaway later on...
