Warmup:
I know my musical selection is a little unorthodox. It is Yo-Yo Ma from "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon." I read a study many years ago that said athletic performance was better when listening to mellow music as compared to the thrash metal, or high intense dance beats. I know for 1RM, I usually prefer Metallica or ACDC, but for aerobic work with mental focus, for me, I am more centered with the mellow stuff.

I have to give all the credit to following this type of high rep/high volume work to the Reifkinds, and Kenneth Jay. I feel pretty damn good and I should be coming to the Sept RKC lighter than I have been in years. I should say WILL be. "should" implies maybe. Also, thanks to Ken and Franz for their motivating words of encouragement. I feel very blessed to find so much from something so seemingly simple.
