Just a quick thing for all to look at that helps me keep going everyday:
"NaturalFreaks... who are they?
Where do they come from?
I'll tell ya where....
They come out of nowhere...
Determined...
Focused....
Fueled by the desire to be a "naturalfreak".
They are "natural"....
With their desire alone... they don't need 'roids.
They are "freaks".
You admire their strength everytime they come into the gym
Training becomes a mission for them!
They "tank" over anyone that gets in their way
And spare no one, not their partners nor themselves in their training.
NaturalFreaks have unbelievable power and physiques that would rival Hercules.
They are everywhere where people think they aren't,
And not everywhere people think they are.
They are "warriors" in every sense of the word,
And they "never quit."
They eat, sleep, think, and breathe being a "naturalfreak" -
They do whatever it takes to achieve their goals in the gym...
And leave nothing to chance.
They are power-bodybuilders
Mortal gymrats envy them...
Powerlifters respect them...
Bodybuilders admire them...
And outside the gym, they fear no one!
They have strength & honor toward fellow freaks and others...
They leave a mark in the gym everytime they are there...
Tell me...
Are you a NaturalFreak?"

Ha. I remember when I was always wanting to buy smaller stuff. Lol. Now it's like, what? The large is too small? Well then give me the XL. All said with a huge smile on my face.
Yesterday and today are my off days. Yesterday i went and swam for about an hour at the pool and just tried to get some sun..lol.. not hard over here tho. Today im just going to chill in my room and do some intense stretching. I will be back in the grind tommorow :D

Yes sir we do. Lol.. i told you to come up here but nooooooo some one is better off in Kuwait. BTW i have NO Animals to train with. lol. I mean, my training partner is a damn good training partner but i dont have anyone there when i say i want to try 315 for decline and they say 'dont worry, youll get at least 3'....so, come on up :D

Ha. Yeah. I think I'll be better off here because this deployment is almost over for me. I've got 68 days left man. Then I'm out. And leave in a couple days? It doesn't get better. I do miss it up there though. It was actually less stressful. I can't deal with idiots. That's all we have here. Hard headed, my way is always right, I don't wanna be deployed idiots. Sorry. I'm on a rant. I'm just glad we have a gym here. It's saved many a lives. I can do without the pool anyway. I haven't seen one in a year now. I think I can manage. LOL.

Yo BEN! you are lucky with finding someone...I thought about it and I have been through 3 partners already...they cannot stand the HIIT or the intensity or they just want to talk...I am done! lol, I am going solo now. Some chick asked me to write her down a workout, she was serious too, that was kind of weird. Other than that, just tearing it up this side of the war =). Keep your head up bro...well down when you hear that alarm. Be careful and keep in touch.

Yea, id say thru my many many months here i have been thru about 4-5 partners. For some reason when i explain to them how i am they dont grasp it. Anyway, been outta the gym for a few days, mission shit..lol.. ya know how that is. But i will be hitting shoulders hard in the morning. and the same goes for you keep your head down, drive on and keep in touch.

Ha ha! Good answer bro. 265 it is man. At the rate you are moving, you'll hit it in no time. Despite the Iraq food!
