Last week was a deload week for me.  It was strange because of how low the weights were.  I felt as if it was almost pointless to go in and do anything.  One day, rather than the low percentage deadlifts…

PZP Winter Challenge Recap

This was my second Power Zone Pack challenge and also the longest, most difficult.  The first challenge I completed was a 6-week challenge and I don’t remember it being as difficult as this one.  I believe there are a few…

Spinal

The weather here has not been great.  It has been so cold and icy that I have not been willing to venture out to walk like I normally do.  I am still moving around, so I am not worried about…
