Week 8 - Mix it Up!

March 9, 2015
Not a whole lot to report this week. Still on track, and sticking with my program. I worked out with a buddy one day this past week at his gym, and it was good to be in a different environment with different equipment, following a different routine. I used that opportunity to switch up my split, which I continued throughout the remainder of the week, and will continue to do so through the end of the competition. Also, I found a great video on youtube about proper bench press form, mistakes, and how to maximize your bench weight. When I tried this at the gym, and followed the instructions, I was able to add 20 lbs. to my set weight. WooHoo! Here's the link... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvDVVhvf8AY
Motivational tip of the week: Focus!!! Unless you are skipping to the next music track on your phone, keep it in your pocket. Don't get it out to check your facebook page, or to text your buddies. Maximize every minute that you are at the gym. You can check your tweets when you get home. Focus!!!
Fitness tip of the week: Try working out with a buddy, and letting them guide you through their routine, to see if there is anything you can add or substitute in your own routine.
Nutrition tip of the week: Made some of these today... http://prayingtoday.com/he-pours-eggs-and-cheese-in-a-muffin-tin-the-reason-im-trying-this/
Metal song of the week: Gojira: To Sirius

Hip-Hop song of the week: Hopsin: Ill Mind of Hopsin 5. I chose this song because it appeals to my straight edge way of life, but this may not appeal to everyone.
