a little bit of this, a little bit of that...

Post Workout
Tues, Aug 17, 2010

This morning I woke up feeling really good. I got really good sleep last night, at least 9 hours, which is unheard of if you know me. In any case, I think that massage I got really is what did it for me. I woke up so much more relaxed and clear-minded. Being that I was feeling really good, I got to the weight-room early and got after it. Every weight went up really smooth. Don't get me wrong, I was getting after it but you ever have one of theose days that you just feel really good? Well today was my day. I'm not sure how good I will feel tomorrow but for now I will steal this day. I may be really sore tomorrow but whatever.

I'm learning that training by yourself can be either a really relaxing, enjoyable experience or a VERY stressful one. So far I've had a mix of both. I'm having fun while feeling the pay of my labor. Whether you a a scholar or and athlete, you know the importance of pushing yourself both physically and mentally. On one hand training by yourself helps you to focus SOLELY on just YOU, getting away from all other distractions. And on the other hand you're by yourself, so you have to look within for inspiration. Or if you train with a group, others.

In order to be the be the best at anything, my trainer Ryan once said, "You have to grow and get better. There are no egos." We all know that having an ego is a huge part of competing. I won't lie I do have a pretty HUGE ego but lately I have toned him down a bit. I call him Hugo. Hugo and I have been together for 22 years and I don;t see us breaking up anytime soon. He's been there for me when I was up and all the times I was down. So as Diddy said, "We ain't goin' nowhere."

All in all I'm excited about my life. School starts in two weeks and I am totally ready for it. My rims are in and I'm ready to roll! Now all I need are handlebars, grips, tires and tubes lol. Yeah a lot of stuff, lol. It's been real. Stay tuned to my blog for my upcoming squat, bench and pull up test. I shooting for 400 lbs on squat!

And if you're ever guilty of being something; A.B.Y. Always Be You.
