Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders with the Biggest Upset Yet

I am not sure where the Blue Raiders' upset win over Michigan State ranks in the history of basketball but it has to be pretty high. Many people, including Dick Vitale picked the Spartans to win it all. I personally think that the 1983 NC State Wolf Pack win over the "Phi Slamma Jamma" of Houston that included future NBA stars Hakeem "The Dream" Olajuwon and Clyde "The Glide" Drexler is the biggest upset. Mostly that is because it was for the championship.... The Blue Raiders over the Spartans is right up there though.

Warm-Up: Perform the rope whips for one minute then rest for one minute to complete a set. Three sets total.

Road Team, You just Need One. Full Body Workout

The Cavs went down in game one of the NBA Finals. LeBron basically ran the whole show for Cleveland and the Warriors did an amazing job of keeping the Cavalier role players under control. Kyrie looked great until he didn't, hobbling off the court on his injured knee. Still, as the road team you only need to take one game in a seven game series. I will also say there is nothing worse in the NBA than playing LeBron when he is pissed. The two questions are: What Cavs' role player will step up? And if the answer is no one... Can LeBron carry them to the championship?

Today's quote is from Lucius Annaeus Seneca:

"It is a rough road that leads to the heights of greatness."

Sleeping Well, Shoulders and Triceps

The whole idea of doing a total number of repetitions versus a number of sets with a designated number of repetitions has proven to be very challenging. It has been good to mix up our routine and push ourselves. The added bonus is that I have been sleeping like a log!
