I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...

Just think it is almost over



Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.

Nice job, Rock!!!

Looking good Rock. I had to do a split today for the first time. I am not going to have much time this evening and this B workout is much harder than the A. My weights were way down, I hate lifting in the AM, keep on truckin almost out of this phase

Nice workout, Rock! I'm so jealous that your weights are going up. I'm having the same problem as PreMier. No way I can split.

If I didn't split guys I doubt I could pick up the bar at the end of a workout! Thursday I don't think I'll be able to split

I'm splitting this week and it's helping but I'm REALLY glad it ends this week. This morning when I got to the gym (at 5:45) the same guy was working at the front desk as was there when I left last night at 10:30. I'm seriously sleep deprived but no way could I get through it all in a single session. (thanks for the tip Rock!)

Almost at Phase 2....

That's awesome that you're still getting stronger.

EDIT: Sorry to hear they were hurting your back though.

Yea, I am on the same plan as rock(but not splitting). I have 9 weeks left not counting the rest of this week. Then MAYBE I will take a week off. My car had problems a while back, and I got 2 weeks off. It almost killed me!
