Meathead Monday Morning

Here's a photo of Shawn Phillips and myself out by the pool at Bill Phillips' house in Bev Hills. Shawn and Bill are legends of the game. They would certainly enjoy the Meathead Monday morning workout I did today.

Today's workout:

1A) Football Bar Bench (205x3x5)
1B) T-bar row

2A) Rack Lockout
2B) Underhand seated row

3A) BW triceps extension
3B) BB curls.

Now for a dog walk.

What's your plan?

It seems like everyone is using some version of the TT Meatheads system these days.

Classic workouts.

So that photo was taken Saturday afternoon, and yesterday I flew home from LA...on the plane, I watched "Shutter Island". Good movie, but not my kind of flick - although I'm still thinking about the ending. However, I preferred The Departed . You watch any good movies recently?

I also read Dave Kekich's book, "Life Extension Express" on the flight. He suggests 30-50% calories from raw foods.

When I got home, I had 3g vitamin C, 4 caps Prograde EFA Icon, raw vegetables with hummus, and blender drink of: Spinach, blueberries, strawberries, almond milk, 1/2 banana, cinnamon, chia seeds, 1 spoonful of Athletic Greens, and 1 scoop Garden of Life raw protein powder.

And finally, today's kickbutt mind-set tip:

Start your week strong with Kekich Credo #89, "Unattended problems will not go away, but will usually get worse. Anticipate and avoid problems – or meet them head on at the outset. Overcome fear by attacking it."

Get strong and stay strong,
