Training - "...you have one job."

5/12 - deadlifts, stairs, band v-row, Pendlay row

#3.  Or #2.  Or #6.  
Look!  A beer!  
...  
I've really got to focus up.
  


"A new acronym, MCE, replaces the old standard RICE, and leaves out cold therapy for injury treatment. MCE stands for Move safely when you can as much as you can, Compress, and Elevate.  

...research published in The American Journal of Sports Medicine in June, 2013, said that although icing an injury relieved swelling it did not make recovery from muscle damage quicker. If the treatment reduces inflammation it delays healing. This includes the use of anti-inflammatory pain relievers like ibuprofen.

Mirkin, who wrote the Sportsmedicine Book in 1978 that introduced RICE, said last month that an injured person should stop exercising, although not resort to complete inactivity, since total rest also does not stimulate tissue repair. Complete rest causes tissue to waste, so he recommends using light exercise as a repair stimulus. Mirkin says it is okay to apply ice for pain relief immediately after the injury occurs, but for short periods only. He suggests icing for 10 minutes, removing the ice for 20 minutes, and repeating the process once or twice, but stresses that there is no reason to continue icing more than six hours after injury."

Perspective.













Sure, but I'm up on the roof with a flashlight every night, and nothing.  Aliens are targeting Welsh people, claims 'abduction victim' - Wales Online: 

"Telepathic aliens are targeting Wales in a bid to harvest our superior genetic material – that’s according to “abduction victim” Hilary Porter. While Hilary’s stories may sound outlandish or unbelievable, she dismisses those who scoff for being closed minded."







Okay, that was pretty funny.

Training - "Success Is Not Magic..."

5/11 - skip rope, shadowbox, bag work, carrenza, foam roll



2014 NPC Pittsburgh Championships: "Angela Chen Bikini- Masters 35+ Class A 2nd place "


  
"The difference between 5lbs of muscle & 5lbs of fat."



 I like lift.



 watch kate lose weight.: "122 lb right now, I have lost a total of 85 pounds!"




"SURPRISE MOTHER FUCKER."



"This week the Supreme Court ruled it constitutional for a government body to open a meeting with a sectarian prayer. Coming up next: A grand coalition of people with unpopular religious views protests the practice by asking to be included in the prayer rotation...

Question for the commenters: Which arm of the government really ought to begin its meetings with an invocation to Lucifer, just on truth-in-advertising grounds? Don't say "all of them"; pick out the most deserving."

"...less than 24 hours after the court handed down its decision in Town of Greece, citizens of Roanoke, Virginia, have their answer. Al Bedrosian, a member of the Roanoke County’s board of supervisors, was sufficiently emboldened by the majority opinion to announce that he would seek to impose a Christian-only prayer policy...

Now it’s easy to dismiss Bedrosian as an outlier, given that his all-Christian prayer policy not only violates the Constitution but also might alarm concurring Justice Samuel Alito, who indicated in his opinion Monday that he might view a legislative prayer policy differently if it were intentionally discriminatory against minority religions as opposed to just an inadvertent clerical error as it was in Town of Greece. (As I wrote Monday, it seems convenient, if not naive, to believe that inviting only Christian chaplains for almost a decade was simply a scheduling mishap.) It’s equally easy to dismiss Alabama’s Chief Justice Roy Moore, who said in a speech in January that freedom of religion in America applies only to the God of the Bible and that Establishment Clause protections do not extend to other religions, such as Islam and Buddhism..."
