Mission 2, Day 60: Ready to go

With my big reveal over, I am more focused than ever. I've had alot of time to think and read during this illness. I feel more focused than ever before. I have re-read Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle by Tom Venuto and that was a huge help. It has grounded me more than ever.
In the next 40 days I will shred harder than I've ever shredded before. I will make more progress than I've ever made before. I will break personal bests at every workout. I will exceed expectations. I am pushing myself harder than ever before. I will take no prisoners. Again, I am in no mercy mode. I will give my body the time my doctor says it needs to rebound from this illness, but then I'm back to hitting it harder than ever.
I really need each of you to push me very hard. I do this because I figure there has to be at least one guy out there who relates to me and because of me is shredding hard himself. That's the guy I don't want to let down. He's the reason I'm here and working so hard.

Workout Log:
No workouts until Monday. Doctor's orders.
Thought for the Day:
Energy spent is energy spent, so spend it in the right place on the right thing. Don't let anything go to waste.
Until tomorrow...GET BACK TO LIFTING!









Looking forward to the next 40 days work from you! You workouts certainly impact on my training, so I am one person you will be having a direct impact on if you falter. Don't let me down

Michael! You look like a million bucks. Sorry to hear you're under the weather. It must be rough to not get to do as much weight lifting as you like, but I'm glad to hear you're obeying doctor's orders and listening to your body. (which looks fab). I may have a monthly show hosting an open mic in the O.C. Maybe we can get together! West Coast Shredders Unite--even if I've been MIA since coming home. It's a lot to get used to this walking around in the world and doing stuff instead of just going to physical therapy and blogging.
