This is exactly what the physician mentioned. I feel awful avoiding necessary leg exercises and fear looking top-heavy...c'est la vie.

Note: great job on your progress!

I've been out of the country for my long-overdue-vacation, haven't updated in a while!

But while overseas I continued my workouts as outlined by the program; continued progress!

Week 6 (Back,...

I'd love to be apart of this; count me in.

School is about to start and I'll soon be swarmed by 24+ third-grade students. I need to be big-n-scary for this to be a successful year :-)

The injury occurred while performing a squat.

Fun Fact: our gym's squat rack sits just bellow the fire alarm.

At roughly 4:30 AM the alarm went off, while I was at the bottom of my squat. ...
