Workout Notes from Mid December 2023

 


The workouts are of course in full effect. These days I am training with Lil' Shaka. I started him on the path last winter, and he's really loving the grind. Last night's workout was good.  The notes are below:

We've been into the off-season pyramids sets lately which absolutely put you in your place. Some of the lifts are foundational to our workouts, and then we will mix it up with what I like to call the "cosmetics". It was definitely a good workout as we continue to push each other. I am looking forward to continuing his education in the grind.

We were out at the Bills v Chiefs game on Dec. 10th. It was the first time we had both been to Arrowhead. What an amazing stadium! If you are a football fan it is right up your alley in terms of atmosphere. The fans really get behind their Chiefs team, and heck why wouldn't you? The Chiefs have been great for several years and are coming off a Superbowl Win last year. They didn't play that great in this one and actually trailed Buffalo for most of the game. They were able to come back in the 3rd and 4th quarters and almost pull off the win, but they had a penalty deep in the 4th quarter tht called back a touchdown on the play that would have put them up over Buffalo in the final minute. They actually did get the ball back, but failed to move the ball and Buffalo won.


We had some great seats. Here was out view (pic above) that I took from my phone and I was hardly zoomed in. It was definitely a great NFL experience to be there up close to see these amazing athletes "run". They are so fast and the speed of the game is truly amazing.


The other thing that we were able to do is workout in a gym that is near and dear to my heart. Back in the early 2000s, I used work for a company that sold and distributed sports supplements to gyms, fitness centers, and health food stores throughout Southern Illinois and Missouri. Blue Springs Fitness was one of our customers at the time.

If I was to describe Blue Springs Fitness it is really a fitness center or gym that is designed for folks who are serious about their gains or goals. You see bodybuilders and powerlifting folks in this gym. The other thing I love about this gym are all the different "peices" of unique workout equipment that exists. 

There is equipment in this gym from the 80s and 90s that are legit! AND, they also have the newest equipment on the market as well. If you are a bodybuilder I definitely recommend going here. You will be delighted to see all the great equipment you can use to hit different angles. We were able to get a night and morning workout in during this weekend. We will definitely be doing this again when we travel out.

That is all for now, have a great Holiday Season!
