"To see a man beaten not by a better opponent but by himself, is a tragedy." - Cus D'Amato

It is hard not to get discouraged...every time I get to the weight I want to be at or start lifting heavier weights, something happens. Still, I have to force myself not to over do it and turn a small injury into a big one.

Here is my workout from tonight:

Warm up - 2 mins agility ladder feet - 2 mins agility ladder hands (this was pretty tough for me, barely finished all sets in the 2 mins) - stretched

Chest - 1 set pec deck x 50 reps

4 sets bench press x 5 reps (I increased the weight each set but still did not get up to where I was before the injury)

Multi joint - 3 sets clean & press x 5 reps (it was pretty sad)

Back - 4 sets pull ups x 3 reps (pitiful, but last week it hurt to do any)

Tris (core)/bis - 3 Super sets dips with feet on stability ball x 10 reps & dumbbell curls x 6 reps

Legs - 3 sets lunge jumps x 8 reps

Stretch - shake - shower

Tomorrow I hope to swim at lunch and either BJJ or some boxing at night. As my buddy Tony Horton (P90X guy, I don't really know him) says "do your best and forget the rest!".

Have a safe journey.
