The Buddy System

What got into us yesterday? For the last two weeks, Xavy and I have been training along side of each other and pushing one another. This is the start of his competition training and its getting crrrrazzzy up here!!!  We work as a team to reach the same goal...Go Hard!  As fun as it is when he trains me, it is pretty damn fun watching him suffer too. 

For some reason, we topped last weeks max weights with no problem on the first set or two.  Several times we looked quizically at one another thinking, "Ummm....why isn't this harder?". We came up to the conclusion that we have no friggin' idea. haha.  If we had to guess, maybe nutrition?  Our meal plans changed to accommodated the new workout style.  (Can I get an Amen for extra carbs?)  The Miami Heat were winning in game 7? Could that have been it? That put the man in a better mood that's for sure.  Oh I've been in training on the night of a Miami loss.  Not good, not good at all. I think LeBron James had a better night then I did.  I'm thinking it was because we had good company in the gym.  Its all about the buddy system.  You know you can't give up or slack off because your gym buddy will throw a weight at your head. You get to know eachothers facial expressions and body language.  I could be in mid-anything and he will grab the weights and say, "Stop, your knee hurts.". Really? How does he do that?  Funny, when I know he is in pain I add another 5 lbs. Haha.  (To his other clients, Don't worry- I got your back.) Yea, I am sticking with that.  Buddy system!

Speaking of that... I have myself a new gym buddy this afternoon.  My sister-in-law, Jen.  I am really excited to do cardio. That never ever happens.  She started making some changes this week and is doing awesome.  Yay!!!

I needed a calculator for this one.  733 pounds.  Awesome!!!
