Left rotator cuff torn completely, bersa side. You can clearly see the difference in size between the two shoulders.... but where am I?
Don't make excuses. I'm working around the injury. Don't just sit on your ass with that poor me crap.... get up and work what you can. Look at my left shoulder... the rest of my body would look that way if I just hung out and waited for my surgery date, and recovery. Screw that, you've worked too hard for what you have, try to protect your gains.... atrophy kicks in at 2 weeks, you see loss at 3.

Keep pressing forward!!!

440lb Back Squat.
Surprisingly being in an 800 calorie deficit, the weight continues to increase. I'm not complaining. This video is the definition of pushing it to the limit.... How bad do you want it. The first and second rep are clean and quick, but extremely taxing.... A decision had to be made quickly weather or not to push it.... Take a huge risk, but knowing I have the support and trust in my spotter Mike Mcgarvey, it took little time to drop back onto that hole for rep three.... How bad do you want to win? Is it in you? You can believe that person standing next to you on stage took that plunge, and if you don't.... You're one rep behind him. Third rep took every ounce of me to get it up there.... Sloppy as s**t, but mission accomplished. How bad do you want it? If it's not as bad as this.... You better just stay home on contest day, cause I'm just getting started son!!!

435lb Back Squat..
We're going to use this video as kind of a "safety first" thing.
First as a teacher of the sport and its safety, I had to be talked into wrapping my knees by my spotter and good friend Michael Mcgarvey, (thanks Mike). My bullheadedness could have cost me (those of you that know and follow me, know what my knees had been through).
Second, on my third rep my balance shifted just a hair.... But enough to throw off my concentration.
Don't be a hero people, if you are moving that much weight, and something seems even just a little off to you..... "Shut it the eff down"...
Regroup and move it again, or move on and get it next week.
Whatever your choice, thank whoever it is you believe in, or pray to, and be happy you do have the chance to get it next week.
Train smart and you'll be in this game much longer.....

Carbs do amazing things..... If you do it right.

As I enjoy my final few weeks of bulking, reality begins to set in.
Posing, 2-a-day cardio sessions, and a depleted calorie diet need to fit into my already jammed day.
The mind has chosen to begin the fight early this time around. Focus and control..... keep pressing forward.
You haven't beat me yet... You won't beat me, you can't beat me, I own you... Literally!!!
Your mind is very powerful, and negativity can be overwhelming, it's where most people fail in anything they do.
Learn to control it..... Not harness it, but redirect it.... Use it!!!

Seated hammer curls..
Not much to it. Seated takes the "cheating back "out of the equation. I like to challenge myself, by pausing at the top of the movement.

Standing cambered bar curls.
Nothing fancy here, just get that weight moving. Keep the cheating to an absolute minimum.
At the bottom of the movement, do not rest the bar on your legs. Constant tension, burn out the reps to failure.

12oz. Turkey burger, on rye, with mushrooms and fat-free mozzarella

Machine short squats.
Strictly a quad based exercises. Do not lock out at the top. With the pants that I have on, it appears that I am, but I am not. Keep that constant tension, by staying just above parallel.
This exercise can be very taxing on your knees. Don't be afraid to wrap your knees when the weight gets up there.
I had planned on this just being a warm-up exercise, but I was feeling really strong in the quads, so I just wrote it out. The next set I moved to six plates and wrapped my knees....... Safety first people!!!!
