And if it did kill you? You shouldn’t have been training with me to begin with! Piggybacking off my last post, I’d like to talk about the differences in training between the new trainee and the seasoned.

Disposable Heroes

He-Man and Castle Grayskull

I was a child of the 80′s, and as you know the 80′s and a good part of the 90′s were all about action flicks and heroes. It all started with my He-Man action figures. If you were going to be anything worth a damn in this world then you better look like He-Man. He-Man looked …

So here I sit at 3:38 PM starting to feel a little better. I went to a Christmas party last night and drank about 8 beers, then with impaired judgement I came home and ate some pizza and chocolate chip cookies. I have not drank in a long time and I’ve been dieting tighter than hell …
