![]() Today I had a great workout and I discuss it in the workout log of this post. It really got me thinking about simplicity though. Most people overcomplicate everything. They look at a workout routine and decide it isn't hard enough, so they make it "harder." The reality is that all they are doing is complicating things. Simplicity is the way to go. That's what High Intensity Training (H.I.T.) is all about. The workout you see in my workout log for today is a H.I.T. workout. I did one set of each exercise. As this was my first time through the workout, some of the weights are off as far as how many reps I can complete, but those will get dialed in over time. The fact is that the workout took very little time to complete, but was every bit as effective as any other workout I've ever done, probably more so! I was able to lift with intensity. I shortened the rest period down to up the intensity a little. I will also dial that in over time. Take your time and realize that simple doesn't mean easy. Complicated doesn't mean hard. Just consider the source of your information and the rest will fall in place. |

![]() ![]() This workout is the ultimate in simplicity. I know that some of you will review the log and think "Just one set?!?" but that's what makes it incredible. You work just as hard as you would with multiple sets, but you work the entire body each workout. The intensity was incredible and the DOMs set in quickly after the workout. The time it took to do the workout was around 45 minutes because I kept the rest period low. I truly enjoyed the workout. Thank you Carlos DeJesus! |

![]() It is Sunday and a rest day for me. I am contemplating my new workout regimen that starts tomorrow. I've got every exercise written into my workout log. I am ready to record an awesome workout and to report back to all of you tomorrow night about it. Today was spent traveling to a hockey game. The team did not play well as a unit and got worked. There were several comments about the goalie and how without him the score would have been much worse. The rest of the day has been spent relaxing and enjoying myself. I have been watching one movie after another and just getting my thoughts together. I have a few major issues to tackle this week and have been planning those out on paper and reconciling them in my mind. Thanks to the past 318 days, I am much stronger and more resolute about the things I am facing. My plan this week is to get to every blog and make a comment. I enjoy catching up with all of you and what you are doing. I just didn't feel like focusing on that today. It was better for me both mentally and physically to relax like I've done. |

M4:D17 (D317) Lift, pause, repeat

![]() I did some thinking today about the importance of weight training in my program. It is the foundation of everything I do. I eat to support the repair process that happens as a result of my lifting. I lift hard and with intensity. I lift as heavy as I possibly can. It makes me feel good to lift. I am really ready for Monday. I have taken the week off of lifting to let my body recover. I have missed it tremendously. At the same time, my body feels energized. I have been dialing in the nutrition getting ready for a big week ahead of me. I have alot on my mind and as a result, lifting next week is going to be therapeutic. I am going to need the stress relief. I spent alot of time interviewing a candidate for a programming position. I even brought him in to meet the CEO (my boss) and the Director of Marketing. Everyone loved him. I made him an offer and he verbally agreed that it was a great offer. Unfortunately, he ended up declining my offer. Now I am back to the drawing board. It is alot like working out. You lift, you pause, you repeat. Now I get to interview, make an offer, repeat. It stinks, but it is the situation I am given and I will deal with it. I have some personal issues going on right now that are also stressing me out. There are some pretty serious things going on right now that I am going to have to deal with. My regimen is going to be even more important to me as I forge ahead with life's issues. It is not easy and it won't get any easier, but I will prevail. |

![]() I had some technical difficulties with my blog provider, but I am back now. I have posted all my past posts. During this time I've still been blogging and taking my pictures, I just haven't been able to publish them. The discipline, for me, must continue or I know I will fall back. I am excited for Monday to come so that I can start my new workout regimen from Carlos DeJesus. |
