My father's health has always been the catalyst to my personal training career. I was only in early Highschool when he had his first major heart attack. Things got good, he cold bad habits cold turkey (smoking, drinking) but stress was always there. Too little too late perhaps. Unsure. But 3 weeks ago, I got a call that he was in the hospital again. This time they barely caught a aneurysm in his heart. He loves to fight another battle. After the life saving stints were put in, he informed me this was his 7th surgery in 7 years. I do not want this for my future family. This is why I do what I do. One day you wake up and just know you need to be different. Do I have the healthiest lifestyle? Absolutely Not. But I'm doing things now (and have been for years now) to help prevent what's to come my way. Go to the gym, not only for you, but the ones who care about you.

I was SLACKIN last week with the birthday/Halloween madness that I skipped on creatine almost the whole week which I feel came into play today. Was already dragging but it's the last week of the 10 Week Athletic Body Building Program @Max Rassman and I are going through. He threw up 100lb DBs as you can see in his last post. I want to match my 245 for 5 or 6 reps OR 225 for at least 7 or 8 since my goal is 10 by NYE.... Could only muster up 2 sets of 6 and a set of 5.... SHAME Your body ALWAYS responds to what you put in it. From candy to party favors to lack or creatine and so on.... Gonna take a deload week or two. Heal this oblique more and hopefully grind it out the rest of the year

About to leave and head to a local watering hole near the Tampa Rays Stadium. Bob Does Sports will be there. How to I casually ask him to let me be his strength coach? If only. But great topic here. I fucking love BDS and have for many moons. So what would you guys ask? What's your ice breaker for a buncha weirdos like us? Should I just where the hotdog costume and #FeedBob ??? Anyways. Have a solid week. @Max Rassman and I are wrapping up this Athletic Body Building Program around Halloween so, after some minor adjustments it's locked and loaded for y'all to start anytime. Both of us are seeing some damn good leg growth from it. And that was the goal. Hop on... Or continue to be a 🐈 y
