Thread: Maximum Potential + Maximum Effort = Maximum Results

Yesterday at the gym I put some of my off day knowledge to work. Recently I had discovered an article on working the rotator cuff with specific exercises. I had never really concentrated on this particular body part but before I did any of my back and shoulder routines I did all of the ones that were included in the article and I must admit I am feeling it very well. Yesterday was a very inspirational day and I went at it as intensely as I could. Back and shoulder day has always been my favorite workout day because of the many different types of lifts needed to complete your workout. Today is leg day, I will try to really train them because of the weather change that is occurring I would like to get to our park Saturday and see how far I can walk after a good leg exercise. This has been a great week and I can close the chapter on week 1 with that famous quote very interesting and on a personal note very intense.

Yep this is the way I roll. I don't have time to be injured and constantly fighting my body. If it needs a break it gets one, that is not to say I don't push myself but some days are better than others. I don't compete so why should I try to kill myself every single day???
