"Never again clutter your days or nights with so many menial and unimportant things that you have no time to accept a real challenge when it comes along. This applies to play as well as work. A day merely survived is no cause for celebration. You are not here to fritter away your precious hours when you have the ability to accomplish so much by making a slight change in your routine. No more busy work. No more hiding from success. Leave time, leave space, to grow. Now. Now! Not tomorrow!"—Og Mandino

Yesterday was a low key day. I felt like I was dragging ass all day even though I got enough sleep the night before.
After work, I was especially beat so I tried to overcome this by having a coffee and some NO xplode. It didnt really do the trick, but I managed to push through my back session. I had to stay away from any movement where lower back came into play because my spinal erectors were still trashed from Saturdays deadlifting:

Chins: 3 sets
BW + 45lbs x 10
BW + 45lbs x 9
BW + 45lbs x 10

T-Bar Row: 3 sets
3 plates x 10
3 plates x 10
3 plates x 11

Face Pulls on Lat Pulldown supersetted with Reverse Cable Flyes: 3 sets
70 x 12, 30 x 15
80 x 12, 30 x 12
80 x 12, 30 x 10

It was a struggle pushing through today. There is always tomorrow.

As for clients. I trained Term last night, this dude gets stronger and more lean everytime I see him. He shows that you can juggle a busy ass schedule and still meet your fitness goals. We had limited time last night so we kept it short and intense:

Hammer Strength Row (SLOW eccentric)
supersetted with
Plyometric Push Ups on Bosu

Preacher Curls (SLOW eccentric)
supersetted with
Bodyweight Tricep Extensions
supersetted with
Behind back barbell wrist curls

I will randomly post a few training sessions from when we work together. I dont want you guys biting too many of my ideas. I am getting him ready for some photoshoot's in September, which is when his cd and sneakers are dropping.
