As I sit here thinking, my mind is filled with a 101 different thoughts this morning.  So I thought I would share a couple of them.

First on a tragic note: Earlier this week I got news of a lifting accident in a gym across town. Apparently a 20 yr old was benching using 250# and his hand slipped causing the weight to come down and crush his face.  Now you might be thinking that he was just lifting too heavy a weight, but either that day or earlier in the week he had just reached is personal best bench of at least 450#.  I am sharing this with you to remind you that weightlifting can be dangerous and must be approached in a safer and smart manner. Make sure that you have a spotter helping you in your heavier lifts and make sure to pay attention to your body as it begins to fatigue.

Weightlifting can be a great and healthy activity, as long as you do it correctly and safely!

OK! On to some more upbeat talk!

It’s that time of year again, yes that’s right it’s time for the Arnold Fitness Weekend!

This is one of my favorite events of the year, I always come away with a bag full of samples, a body full of adrenaline, and a head full of inspiration. If there is anyway possible for you to attend, I encourage you to do it. You will be glad you did.

I am especially looking forward to this year since I will be meeting up with some friends that I have made online. As you know from my last post, I had a great meeting with one of them last week. So I am excited to get to more great people. I hope to have lots of great photos to share with you and maybe even a little video as well.

All this talk about the Arnold has got me all pumped up, guess that means it’s time to go workout!

Remember to “Live Fit”

P.S. if your coming to the Arnold let me know, I would love to meet ya!
