After being sick through the month of December and chowing down on lots of food lately, I'm gonna put good use to these calories!

My appetite is finally back and my motivation is that of a run away freight train.

I am psyched to get back to tearing it up again.

The more I train, the better I feel.

The more I train, the faster my shoulder begins to heal. Injuries are what help you become smarter at what you do, ironically.

I'm back to cranking more floor pressing and dumbbell work in favor of traditional flat benching. This is what works best for me, so keep that in mind when you watch my videos as these are inside looks as to what I do.,.

Learn from me, but, tweak and apply for your best needs. The one thing I will not and can not deny is my need to lift heavy.

Becoming stronger has proven to be the best way for me to pack on muscle and improve my speed.

Besides, moving heavy weights is in my DNA. Maybe I'm part Gorilla, who knows, because I LOVE rope climbs and pull ups.

I have rings hanging in my garage and although it's close to freezing in there, I'll be hanging a set of ropes up as well. Climbing rope is not only good for me, but, for my kids to grow up and have a garage with gymnastics rings and a climbing rope can only be a GOOD thing.

Here's a quick look into the beginning of a recent upper body session: Swiss Bar Floor Presses Chains combined with explosive pull ups, making sure my chest hits the bar on EVERY rep.

Question for You: How did your December health & training go? Got any resolutions that you're about to kick into high gear? Share them and pass along your tips and ideas! Looking forward!

In Strength,
