Workout Of The Day - 7 February 2012

I haven't blogged in a really long time, but that doesn't mean I stopped working out, just that I've been a bit too tired (read: lazy) to document my workouts.

Don't Eat Toxins - gluten, soy, sugar. Discussed in great delightful joy.

The Clean High Pull - I ought to work on that.

 Stronger, we can be.

This picture means a lot to both me and the girlfriend - that we are continuously getting better and not getting sucked into mediocritcy. 

Countless times I have heard others tell me to 'not train so hard, and just maintain what you've got. Or you'll hurt your back / grow shorter.'

So often I can see so many of my colleagues at work eating horribly, totally misguided in eating habits, getting more inches all over with time. In short, most people either (1) do nothing about their health, or (2) do everything wrong with it, thinking they're doing everything right with it.

Conventional wisdom is hard to break and it can be hard to accept (the cold, hard truths). But sometimes, like how the old wise men say, a picture says everything.

I'll do this every year. And Mark Sisson - he's the guy I want to be when I'm in my 50's. And every step counts, from now.
