Life

Live each day. I spend so much time worrying about the future that I forget this at times. Right now I'm going to live!

Yesterday was a good day in the weight room with some big milestone goals taken down!

Squat

-3 sets of 5 reps @ 300lbs. (pr)

Bench

-3 sets of 5 reps @ 185lbs.

Deadlift

-5 reps @ 400lbs. (pr)

Bodyweight = 198.5 lbs. (with my weightlifting shoes on)

I love taking a look at this site. Kids love to play/exercise. They blur the lines between the two often. We should all play more often.

From the CrossFit Balboa blog comes this interesting e-mail about the truth behind what we are vs. what we think we're buying. Grass-Fed Beef anyone?

The Ancient Steen Family Crest which was in use before 1650 AD in Northern Ireland was flown as a flag above homes of Steen family members.
The color is described as Presbyterian true blue, which symbolizes fidelity. The figure represents the fabled Phoenix bird rising from its own ashes, with extended wings, ready to fly away - an emblem of faith in God and hope of immortality.

Pretty much the definition of CLASSY:
