One of my favorites

There are two kinds of people in this world. The ninety-nines and the ones.
The Ninety-Nines...thats what I call 'em. Ninety-nine out of a hundred people can't fathom what I do. They scratch their heads, can't believe my dedication to this great sport. Many don't even think this a sport or that I have a life. Never let others define your 'life' for you. This is what I have chosen. This is the road I've taken, with all the potholes, bumps, and turns. The Ninety-nines, they can't commit 100% to being their best, to step up one day and stand tall among the giants.

There are those who rely on luck, and those who don't know the meaning of the word.
I don't play the lottery. I don't have the winning ticket. Everything I have, I busted my ass for. The only thing I ever got handed to me are the genetics my old man passed down. From him, I learned the value of a work ethic and getting your hands dirty. To those who've always wanted more, stand with me. We are few and we must stand on the mountaintops to be heard. When the day is done, our voices will carry. It shall be a call to all those who have always dreamed of something greater.

There are those who tear down others to build themselves up and those who just build.
To the naysayers, I say your words will fall on deaf ears. To the doubters, take your misgivings elsewhere. To the envious, do not desire what we will achieve. I will beat back mediocrity with a fierce hand, will demolish conformity, so that when it's time to cash in my chips, I won't leave a legacy of regret, that I didn't go for mine. In each of us lies the power to start something... So to those of you out there who can hear, let me say again, who are you and will you stand with me?


Love to revisit this from time to time as a reminder

off day
been keeping the carbs a little lower on non training days, but keeping the protein higher

traveling tomorrow for a show, not mine, clients, so I got a visitoers pass from the promoter for a gym down the street.
We will see if it is a cool place, although I usually don't need too many fancy pieces to do legs
-c

9/24 (Out of town at another facility to train. Free pass from the promoter , very nice)
Squat 465x8
leg press 9 side
The machine was a nice machine but the plates were so cumbersome, and they took up so much space it was terrible.
Whoever designed them is foolish and must have never loaded up a machine b4
glute ham raise 3 sets
seated leg curl w/partials
leg ext w/partials and drops
calf raise
Again the machine was fine, but the plates. I added a bar to the machine and then put plates on it.
-c

I see what you mean lol, the second pic looks like you have twice as many plates on because they are so widely spaced!!

To be fair, the 99 wont use that many plates pmsl :D:D:D:D

HAHA those plates look like a pain in the ass... and just plain silly!!! but that gym looks brand spankin new

When I looked at it it looked like some power station or capacitor/transfomer that was about to produce some sort of current

Good luck mate

Nice Job C.M.

You killed those 150lbs db's

The vides can help a lot, I had a buddy of mine film me doing the leg press, when I saw the vidio I was not going deep enough, it felt like i was though at the time. :)
