You're right about the general attitude towards training down here Terry. Probably more bodybuilders down her than any state except Cali. In alot of gyms hardcore is what it's ALL about. Usually it depends on where you train.........some of the bigger franchise names such as World's and Powerhouse, have tons of competitive bodybuilder's training there, and they are very "sympathetic" to our cause!! Still, even down here there are some chains ...Bally's..... that cater to the "I'm here to be seen, not train" crowd and it is definitely NOT the place for anyone hardcore. The absolute BEST places are the countless small gym set ups with local owners who have competed in the past...... Keith My wife had suggested that we open up our own hardcore gym up here. Problem is, that not many people would come. They want fitness classes, pilates, etc... not my cup of tea.

Thanks Joel! It was pretty good but I'm finding I'm getting a much better ab workout from the Vertical Hanging Leg Raises and the ab crunches.

great w/o Terry! busting out some big time cardio on zero carbs. gottas love that one..NOT! Way to hit it buddy! Thanks Steve. It didn't seem so bad this time around. Last year this time, I couldn't do any heavy lifts when low carbing. This time, though, I've decided to keep my zero carb days on cardio days and days off only. Seems to be working well so far!

A really good workout today. I really focused on my form today especially with the Icarian T-Bar Row and the deadlifts. I haven't done full deads for a while so it was nice getting back into them. Also, supersetting the lat pulldowns and rows was different. I needed to lighted the load and went to full failure.
