Welcome to.......THE BEAST FACTORY!!

So a wicked training lair always needs a name. A great name. You can't get serious about lifting heavy if you're talking about "smashin' some weights at Goodlife!"....

**This session was ok. Didn't feel super energized, sleep sucked all week....getting up at 4am blows. Blah Blah Blah, Saturday night went to bed at 9pm. Wanted to watch UFC Fight for the Troops but just too tired. Woke up 9am Sunday. Didn't do too much all day except laundry and shovel the driveway. Ate lots and went to bed at 9pm again to wake up at 4am.
That brings me to today....
