The M Project

Two people, one with extensive and intensive training his entire life, the other with little to no training at all.  Put them both on a ridiculous workout plan each eating almost the same foods, and monitor the results. Details at purepowerfitness.ca

Big shout out to all my #insomniacs out there who got up (Not woke up) to get the job done today without the energy.  There’s nothing more frustrating than trying to do something repetitively with little #success, but that’s what makes a good nights sleep worth so much more!

Destroy & Rebuild

The faster the ball rolls the harder it is to stop.  Now that the gym train is running it feels almost impossible to let up now.  Soon we’ll be adding more plyometrics to the routine so stay tuned for that, exciting stuff!  Destroy & rebuild, here we go for another heavy lift!

Nearly at a Jog

So after a slow walking start and a lot of pain and stiffness, I feel like I’m nearly at a jog now and picking up speed.  For the first time in a long time, I finally feel that structure coming into the lifts.  #Exercises feel more controlled and the gains should continue to come rolling in day after day.  Take some time today and do something for yourself.  A simple workout does it for me, what’s your release?

Stairs

Today I feel like taking the elevator instead of all those stairs but I know that once at the gym I wont.  Standing, walking, attempting to run or even unlocking at the hips makes my quads scream like children at a fair.  Good thing I don’t have a soccer game this week or I’m not sure I would be able to participate.  Hope everyone’s enjoying this beautiful weather!

Nearly a week in

Here I find myself nearly a week into the program and barely able to walk...thanks leg day.  What a beautiful weekend though I hope everyone else got a little rest and sun like I did!  Today brings us another hard workout so lets see how this goes!

Day 4

After completing a push-pull + abs on day 1, arms lower back and abs on day 2 and then legs & shoulders day 3...I feel like my entire body has been absolutely steamrolled. Somehow I head back again today to finish myself off, wish me luck!

Here We Go!

Well, today was the first day of my journey.  I’m tired of feeling like shit so ironically I need to make my body feel much much worse in order to feel better. The workout felt good, was uplifting to be back in the gym setting for sure. Here we go!
