hey steve!

I came back to say I've always loved your diary. I love how you focus on it daily than just a ''goal'' to achieve. keeping it healthy and disciplined. you truly inspire me to eat healthy and work out!

hope you are doing great,

xoxo
 
Thanks Amiba.

I can't say I've been coming here daily lately. Business has really gotten busy. Training a couple of wrestling teams, a track team, and a baseball team. Dealing with that many athletes is a chore and a half. And that's not to mention the gen pop clients I work with too.

But things are good.
 
Talk about MIA. Life has really caught up with me now that I have the little one. The last thing after a long day of work I want to do is come on the computer. I'd much sooner snuggle with Johanna! It's taking all I have just to keep my own forum afloat. That said, I know I have a bunch of emails and PMs to respond to from members here. Please be patient. I'm going to start weeding through them today.

Here are some recent pictures of the family and little one.
 
25 minutes of trail running in the dark last night followed by 20 minutes of stretching.

I have 10 weeks to prep for my next serious mountaineering trip in the White Mountains.
 
Had an easy/light lifting session last night:

Squats - 225x3x5
Single Leg Barbell Romanian Deadlifts - 45x2x10
Barbell Bench Press - 225x3x5
Cable Pulldowns - 185x3x5
 
Did 25 minutes of trail running in the dark last night. Used my new headlamp I bought for the upcoming mountaineering season. If you're into headlamps, you should check out zebra lights. Best on the market as far as I'm concerned.
 
Man alive... life's hectic right now! Just a quick update. Family is great. Baby is amazing... she changes so much each day and she's so fun. Business couldn't be better. Life's good. I don't get a lot of free time, but I do still workout 4-5 times per week, but it's definitely de minimis.

I recently interviewed industry expert, Bret Contreras, on my blog. If you haven't heard of him, he has some interesting things to say... might be worth your time reading.

Hmmm, what else...

Heading down to Richmond VA at the end of April for a training seminar. Anyone know anything cool to do down there?
 
wow! you have been busy!! good for you :) I bet we'd all love to see a new pic of your beautiful baby!

keep rocking Steve !
 
Yesterdays training. Light and easy but felt great.

A1 - Pullups - 3x12@BW (very strict), 1x20 with band support (very strict)
A2 - Push Press - 3x8@135, 1x15 overhead press @ 115 (very strict)
B1 - Incline bench seat db curls - 2x12@35
B2 - Close grip pushups - 2x20@BW

Lot's of foam rolling on the quads in between.
 
This past weekend (now that it's wednesday, haha) was insanely busy. Lots of trainings on Saturday, hiked with Brady for a bit, cleaned the gym, and went to an auction. Bought some awesome furniture at the auction. Then headed to another furniture store out in amish country and bought an island for our kitchen and a new television stand.

I'll get some pics up eventually once the stuff comes in.

Sunday I mulched ALL DAY.

Monday I missed my workout b/c I had a weasel in the gym. Crazy.

Yesterday I had to rush before a client got there and simply did:

Fat Grip Bench Press - 3x8@195, 1x15@135
Close Grip Cable Row - 3x8@175, 1x15@120
Barbell Fat Grip Drag Curls - 2x12@55
Close Grip Pushups - 2x20
 
Taking a week off from training. Elbow is buggered up. I think it's acting up from all the mountain biking I've been doing.

On the business front... training has been very busy, which I'm very thankful for. You'd think people would be cutting out discretionary stuff like personal training but I just picked up 3 new clients last week alone.

Having fun with a wide array of clients right now.
 
I think I just wrote the greatest nutrition page ever for the gen pop. Of course I'm biased, haha.
