Frontline

One approach I have to lifting is to imagine that each workout I am putting myself on the frontline.  You have to leave it all in the gym.  I'm not saying that I don't ever joke around or have fun with others.  I'm just saying you have to lean to flip the switch and put 100% focus on the set at hand.  That's one reason I usually take a long approach to each set.  I visualize, prepare and then finish the set.  Here's an example of my approach for Front Sqauats from this past weekend. 

I was able to meet up with my good friend Eric for today's workout.  We kept it fast pace and pretty much flowed from exercise to exercise.  Here's how things went.....
