Mission 1, Day 77: Who can it be now?
I finally got my workout in that was supposed to happen yesterday. I made sure the gym clerk knew I was upset about the previous day and got a sincere apology.
My workout really pumped me up as it always does when I lift heavy. I just love how I feel after a good session of real heavy lifting. I forget about the stress of life and everything else that goes on around me and just focus on the feel of the iron bar in my hands.
I found an interesting article that is about protein cycling. Apparently it is a method for helping the body soak up and use tons of proteiin when you go up to a higher protein intake. You can read the article by Chris Aceto here.

Surprise Guest for Podcast (coming soon):
Can you guess who my podcast guest is going to be? Sometime after January 21, 2008, I will be interviewing this person for my podcast. The graphic below is the first hint.
Make your guesses. I am not going to reveal who this person is until the actual podcast itself, but I thought it would be really fun to see if anyone could guess who it is.
Until tomorrow...GET BACK TO LIFTING...

In regular life, I'm known for being a very good guesser of stuff, but I must be taking facial clues or voice tone into my intuition, because I'm the worst blog guesser ALIVE. I've got NOTHING. Plus, my very limited knowledge of fitness professionals also makes guessing a challenge. Is it Tom Venuto? Or that other guy? Or maybe somebody in the band, Men at Work, (based on the title).
