Axioma's Journal and Journey to Masters Nationals 2011

[Curt James]

I am battling sinus issues so it is tough mentally preparing myself for increase in volume/intensity next week. I am also working on some business projects that I hope to wrap up this week. wait until i unveil my training partner. I pray pray pray she will compete as she could go pro in physique or bodybuilding in one year with the right focus.

And get well soon!

Welcome back, good sir.

I agree! My goal is to go all out for masters nationals. 3 gun shooting will be for relaxation. crossfit and triathlon will be AFTER my bodybuilding competitions.

Go set those goals. And welcome to the over 50 crowd. I only have a less than two years left before entering the geriatrics division.

My shoulder "clicks" all through my delt and chest training....I just turn up the volume on my music!
