The Countdown is on...2 More Sleeps...

The countdown is on. No...I'm not waiting for New Moon to be released. In 2 more days I will be starting my new deadlift program. I'm pretty amped about it because I've never been a great deadlifter. I have many excuse why (short Tyrannosaurus Rex arms, long & fat torso etc.) but none of them matter. My best deadlift from the floor is around 520lbs. Sounds good for the average Man but in the world of strongman it sucks. I'm competing against guys now who deadlift atleast 600lbs and rack pull over 800lbs. I'm talking world-class guys. Names like Luke Skaarup and Paul Vaillancourt won't be beat with a 500lbs deadlift. I knew I needed something different. That's where Bob Griffiths came in. A very experienced powerlifter in his day, he provides me with the knowledge I need to actually deadlift properly to maximize my potential. It will take a couple months but since I am deadlifting correctly, I should be killing my best deadlift from the floor easily. Stay tuned....
Now...I want to talk about t.v. Although I'm busy with work, personal training clients on the side, family life and now blogging and shit, nothing better to relax than watching garbage t.v.
I am a reality show junkie. Survivor, Biggest Loser, Big Brother is my favorite and The Ultimate Fighter are my usual suspects. A few weeks back I decided to watch this non-reality show called Flash Forward. Not my usual type of show I'd watch but it looked good and had John Cho in it. He's best known for his role as Harold in Harold & Kumar go to White Castle and Escape from Guantanamo Bay. Those are classics by the way. The first episode of Flash Forward blew my damn mind! As I got watching I couldn't look away. It leaves me wanting more each week. Now I have to wait 2 weeks for the next episode for some reason. They'll probably have something stupid on in it's place next week. 2 weeks.......Damn.
Quick predictions for the UFC pay-per-view this Saturday:
Forrest gets embarrassed by Tito with the ground and pound. I doubt Forrest is ready mentally after being humiliated by Anderson Silva his last fight.
Although I don't like either of them, I predict Anthony Johnson KO's Josh Koscheck. I hate Johnson more but whatever.
Well, better go get ready for my awesome full-time job!!! blah.
