HOLY SHIT WHAT A DAY!

Well today started off pretty amazing! I had a couple really great workouts with my clients and then I took one for the team and cleaned out our break room. Now for a bunch of people who are health conscious we can be quite complacent, the downfall of us all bringing our own food to the gym is often times our tupperware is forgotten in the fridge.....yes you all know where this is going....so I took a couple hours and cleaned out the break room to make it squeaky clean! Following this activity I had an amazing workout! Today was a dynamic effort lower body day:

Clean for a double with an extra front squat after the second rep.

1x2x80kg
1x2x90kg
1x2x100kg

Then I wanted to test the waters and try a PR clean and jerk with 112kg which is 246.4lbs and I made it!

Following was dynamic effort box squats 8x2x255 plus bands with 45 seconds of rest

Finally we finished with 45 degree hip extensions for 3x6x100lbs

Upon finishing my workout and my post workout shake my buddy steve who is one of my training parters, co-workers and a beloved bouncers at the Dixie informed me of terrible news a regular at the will no longer be with us!

Will was a pretty funny guy, always a bag of smiles in the gym and there religiously, we crossed paths quite a bit and shot the shit here and there, most of the time about Gonzaga vs. UP Basketball!  Will seemed to have it all, fun loving personality, tons of friends, a good job and had just recieved a new job in which he was going to earning a significant pay raise and move up to seattle and then we hear of this! BOOM! WOW! Such a shock to here this tragic news after the last time we talked it was the happiest day of his life!  I am a pretty happy person as it is, but to have someone my age go through this was amazing! I am not really sure how to feel right now, I wasnt super close with Will but definitely will miss him!

So on that note, keep your chins up, there are plenty of people who love and support each and every one of you! PLEASE ENJOY LIFE TO ITS FULLEST BECAUSE SOME DAY....

RIP WILL, YOU WILL BE MISSED!

I leave you all with a video that my friend Nikki showed me.
