I have no idea what tomorrow is going to look like as far as working out goes: I have to report for jury duty?!
Today however, I am going to go back to working in a rotational strength based workout with cardiorespiratory interval training on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. My plan is to have 6-7 main exercises that I will do for each body part and then mix in various different exercises each day to keep it from getting boring.
Today's quote is from Robert Frost:
"The jury consist of twelve persons chosen to decide who has the better lawyer."

It was another "cold" rainy "winter" day here in Tucson. I have to add the quotation marks when I use those words or I will hear it from all of the folks out there that are actually suffering through winter with real cold weather. The fact of the matter is that it was a beautiful day where we got much needed rain!
Today's quote is from Robert Frost:
"You can't get too much winter in the winter."

Have a Great Day!!
I was feeling fantastic today so I thought I would bring back the Atlas Stone. Moving weight with perfectly balanced barbells like my Rogue Power Bar are one thing and there is a lot of benefit to traditional weight training. But, manipulating something like a stone is more realistic to the everyday type lifting that a person may do. Mixing in odd objects into your lifting routine is a great way to break up the monotony.
Today's quote is from Robert Frost:
"Let him that is without stone among you cast the first thing he can lay his hands on."
Weight Training: Shoulders and Triceps. Three sets of 6-8 repetitions unless otherwise stated.
Seated Heavy Dumbbell Shoulder Press
