Late update ...and it is not a park bench

Well as you may or may not know I completed my March quest of 10,000 swings, a little more actually. It started out pretty easy, but as it went on it became more difficult both physically and mentally. I was hoping to be able to move up in the weight I was swinging, but for reps that was not the case. I pretty much stayed within the 16kg - 32kg range. I did use the 48kg a few times, but not often. As for recovery I increased my protein intake by @20 grams a day and that helped a lot. Also towards the end of the month my sleep became deeper...which I am not sure why, but it helped. Give it a try sometime, 10,000 swings in a month, see how you do!

Recently I received an email about a new training, a protocol I would say. It isn't so much as a program, but how to take you current training to a new level, with out injuries. It is an innovative training based on your body’s feedback. The DVD's are sold out for now but you can get on the waiting list by CLICKING HERE!

A little bit of a rant about the gym...still have the usual one about cell phones while working out ---- WHY????????? Are you so not in control of your life you can't be away from the phone for < 1 hour????
- A new one, the gym was packed recently, I guess holiday season, and I wanted to use a flat bench for flies. All were being used , one had a gym bag on it. I asked around and one guy told me he was using it. He was ... to hold his bag, he was doing curls and standing tricep extensions. So I waited about a few minutes, then handed him his bag and took the bench. You know he actually went to the gym manager and complained. The manager came over and when I told him the story and it was confirmed by others he just laughed at the guy and poined to the locker room and tole him that there are lockers in there for his bag. So remember equipment have purposes besides being your valet, there are other people in the gym wanting to use the bench for its purpose....
