6 MAR: Biceps make me puke

What the hell happened Saturday morning? I have NEVER thrown up from doing arm work before. I must have spent a solid 5 minutes or more heaving after this workout

1. Close grip chinup: 8, 8, 6, 5
2. Inclune dumbbell curls: 30s x 9, 5; 25s x 8, 4; 20s x 8
3. EZ bar curl: 65 x 13, 13; 55 x 20
4. High wide grip bent row: 95 x 12.......

I stopped there because the puking just completely drained me, literally and figuratively. This wasn't supposed to be a biceps-only workout. I just wasn't able to get to back work after that one set of High Wide Rows.

Conditioning circuit 1: 5 rounds of   A. Pushup progression   B. Pick a single leg squat patte...

The Warrior's Path

This year has been a real test of character, and I have to say, I  passed with probably a B+, or maybe A-.   What makes a warrior different from the ordinary man is not whether he faces obstacles or not. We all face obstacles.  No; what makes a warrior different is how he faces the obstacles. An ordinary man and a warrior will both map out a course to  their objective. The ordinary man will get distracted along the way.  He might see the trail up the mountain and convince himself he never really wanted to reach his objective. When his arms go numb from shouldering the load, he discards item from his pack he suddenly sees as unnecessary.  He might sprain an ankle, call 911 and decide the course is too dangerous for any sane person to attempt.  So much the better, because now he has plenty of time for other more important things.  Isn't it football season anyway? The ordinary man makes excuses to stay ordinary. The warrior notices and ...
