11/9- Bench and my visit to the GI Doc: “He’s dying.”
The doctor said he would like for me to get to a point where I forget that I even have a disease. That would be nice.

Today our lifters hit some lower body. This is their last week till we rotate next mon. All sets reps were at 5x6. We have some lifters hitting box squats instead of free squats due to some knee issues. The day started off great when I walked into work. We had our early group wrapping […]

YOU Are One Of A Kind
"I’ve lived through things I would never have thought I was capable of, and I’m not as afraid as I used to be. The process of wounding wakens us to our strength. It shuffles our values, and the top priority is never what you thought it would be. It’s never about perfection or power. It always […]
