Like a comfortable old friend.<BR/><BR/>I've gotten back in the routine of being at the gym regularly this week (after being awol for a month and a few days), and daaaaaang I am beat!<BR/><BR/>Squats, of course, leave their mark on you and your quads, but I'm adding power cleans into the mix for this next rotation, and they are doing a number on my traps, shoulders, and biceps just as much as my legs.<BR/><BR/>It's good to be sore again!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6871893863478662903.post-14537374398339389102008-08-29T07:46:00.000-07:002008-08-29T07:46:00.000-07:00I read Billy's post and found it insightful. I vi...I read Billy's post and found it insightful. I view the whole thing as need vs. want. <BR/><BR/>It's all well and good to want to be thin, fit, healthy but that's not enough. If you only want those things than it's all the easier to sell yourself short. Because let's face it, it takes effort to achieve and maintain and it's easier to say half way through "I don't want this that badly". In fact a lot of people with this mindset take the easiest road of all -never starting.<BR/><BR/>Now if this is a need then everything changes. The need stays constant, it's not a variable. Because of that you can measure everything a little more realistically. I want a cheat meal but do I really need it. No, I need to eat healthy. I want to sit around and watch TV but do I really need to? No, I need to workout. <BR/><BR/>What seperates just wanting weight loss and healthy living from needing it? I just read the article 'Pheonix Theory' posted on Billy's blog. It does a great job of illustrating what seperates the two.<BR/><BR/>Sorry if this is a bit long-winded.Brandonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08223739496638194251noreply@blogger.com
