Alright Guys,

Well here we are half way through Feb, how are you doing with those resolutions to be the strongest/leanest most badass fighter that graced the earth? 1 and a half months is plenty of time to make good progress if you have been strict, 12 pounds of fat lost or 5 pounds of lean muscle would easily have been possible if you have been dedicated to your training and diet. Hope you are all smashing your personal targets heading toward that 3 month mark.

As for my personal goals things were going well till the injury. Having stepped on the scales this morning I have found out that I have lost 3 pounds in the week and a bit that I have been out of action. Unfortunatly this is in no way fat loss. I am quite confident that this will come back as soon as I start training and eating again though (good old muscle memory). Mobility is improving everyday though so hope to be at least jogging by next week. Big thanks to the guys that have been helping me with the mobility and recovery stuff!

List of the stuff that I am into at the moment;

·         Inspirational Quotes (blame Ian Butlins FB updates)

·         Movelat Gel, stuff really helps with the pain, shall be trying to blag some more of this

·         Random function kicking out the old skool tunes

·         A Doctor that actually diagnoses through examination rather using a fucking crystal ball

·         Finally able to sleep due to improved mobility in shoulder

Shit I have distain for;

·         Not being able to train at all

·         Blackberry not sending E mails

·         The bastard voice in my head that makes me do the right thing. Im sacking the fucker as he is no fun at all.

·         Movelat Gel. Shit stinks.

Here is a quote from a T-Nation reader on why he trains, thought it was pretty cool

Pusharder started a thread a long time ago in another forum that discussed this, and I think he put it very well. He lives in the country & was riding his horse when he was disturbed to discover a big wolf had been following him for some time. He was alone, just him (& his horse) and the wolf.

He said he discovered then why he really trains.

He trains for when the wolf comes.

I do too.

If the wolf is outside yourself, hopefully you can overcome it. If the wolf is inside yourself, hopefully you can subdue it. Either way, training helps give one the courage to face it head on.

Ta Raaaa
