>>?<<--- A Question of Balance --->>?<<

The Monkey Man · 01-14-2006, 07:31 AM

Seems like my quest for 'Big' numbers has brought me the whammy's
I was trying so hard to avoid...

So chastised by this new revelation, I move forward seeking the
training that will truly bring my mind and body together and gain
me the "spriritual creaminess" I seek...

This could get weird, as my quest for physical fitness
has always been closely followed by a need for psychological
fitness as well.. As you know the two go hand in hand..
If you are foul tempered, tired, exausted from work, or sore
from previous training sessions, it will effect your current workouts...

And; for me, if I am not meeting my general, or long term goals,
that has an effect on my mood outside the gym...

So if I decide to shave my head don't freak out!
And keep all the kojak jokes in a positve humor..

Catch you on the rebound 'ah' the medicide -
