More on Operation Abs at the end of this post. There’s a good discussion on weightlifting technique going on here.

I thought people might like to know how the new gym is progressing. I know I do so in part this is a nice way to keep people informed and have a quick recap for myself. Things have been pretty crazy in the last while, as you can imagine I’m training for a fight, opening … Continue reading
