Yes it is

everything was on key today my focus was good as well as my energy and it all fell together, luv it when that happens! I guess since I'm new to this my stream isn't steady yet seems as if I'm tired one day and hyped the next but more often tired.

How important is focus to you guys?

Given a choice between focus and oxygen, oxygen can wait.

Huh? please explain.

I know how you feel about focus and I have come a long way but how can oxygen wait? it's essential.

Hyperbole = exaggeration for the sake of emphasis. Focus is more important than just about anything. But then, you know my thoughts on the subject.

I find coffee to be a big help on sluggish days

If you used clips (which you should always do), it was 96 lbs

Also, sounds better in kg: 43kg (or 43.5, depending on clip usage).

Just simple friction clamps.

Counting clips is just lame

Not when you're a Masters weightlifter. Every gram matters...

Bodybuilding is good... assistance work for injury prevention

So I'm going out of state for my masters degree. My choices were LSU or Lindenwood; LSU having coach Gayle Hatch if I went to Baton Rouge, and coach Kyle Pierce if I went to Shreveport. Lindenwood is coached by Derrick Johnson. After watching some videos of Broz lifters like Pat Mendes, I'm starting to consider Las Vegas. What would you say,

Masters in?

**madaozeki** · 10-16-2009, 02:16 PM

I'd say choose your school based on the academics. Unless you're planning on becoming a world elite lifter, in which case I'd say move to China.

Business Administration with a focus on management.

I don't really care for which school as long as it is properly accredited. I'm doing it because I'll be getting my Bachelors in Construction Management after the spring semester, and right now the construction industry sucks and there are a lot of experienced CM's with degrees that got layed off that just upped the job market competition. I also plan on returning back to Miami after and picking up a Masters in Construction Management.

So the game plan is get some degrees and jobs around US to spruce up my resume, learn a few new languages, and make myself irresistible to any huge construction corporation. Take a job with them overseas in emerging markets, and get money to go vacation and train in other countries.

I'm addicted to the sport, Mezzie.

**madaozeki** · 10-16-2009, 02:57 PM

In that case, go for the cheapest school you can find among those with the proper weightlifting credentials! And get yourself an internship abroad with a US-based company. Somewhere like, say, China...

**gbg** · 10-16-2009, 03:06 PM

cracky, I'm sure no matter which one you choose you'll be successful you seem to have a good head on your shoulders, best of luck.

Great video BTW I might steel it and put it in my journal

**SquatzAndPuke** · 10-16-2009, 05:02 PM

I did some snatching for the first time in forever today. I'll post the video later for your guises amusement.

I vote for Pierce.

The Broz gym is still a little iffy. Mendes is a beast, but is it just because he's a beast, or is it the specific coaching? I would need to see more lifters with national titles before I would think that this is any different than the other Americanized-Bulgarian training.

I've always been a morning person I'm in the gym at 5am have to be at work at 8.

Probably pull the sled today, feel out of it.

So is it gonna be Vegas?

That sounds awesome and very different from my Saturday! Morning at the mall returning things, lunch at a Korean place, then a tough afternoon workout. Now laundry and getting ready for dinner. Excitement

Probably, Vegas is a huge city and it would be easy to find a construction job there compared to Shreveport... and the best all you can eat buffets; I'll return as a SHW!

I picked up an Electro Muscle Stimulator and that thing has some serious power. So far all I can tell is that it feels really damn good for a deep massage at low frequency. I'm also trying a routine with it to zap my lower back to help get my arch stronger and prevent back pain, it'll take a few weeks to see results from that. The highest I can go is 4.5 out of 8. I can't even fathom how intense 8 must be.

Are you talking about a stim unit? we use them at work when my back goes out the Chiro works on it and always puts stim on, I love it very relaxing and helps with blood circulation and helps to get rid of toxins.

How are you using it to help with strengthening the lower back?
we have used it on peeps with major muscle loss for whatever reason never on a healthy individual.
If you have any questions about about it I can ask the doc at work he very cool.
