Long day...grinding away
Eliptical 14 minutes
Abs 10x25
Stick Roll and maybe some mobility and flexibility
Had a 15 hour day at the gym with about 10+ being with clients...didn't want to finish my night with anything but a carbohydrate crash...but I knew their had to be someone out their in my same shoes...I just wanted to make sure they didn't pass me by...

Prowler
Today's workout was a real feel good for me. I don't know if I can honestly say I would ever thought I would've jumped this high. Just coming into the workout I felt really good. It's funny now that I'm looking back, I think I'm going to write down everything I did before hand (including helping Jake unload boxes) and include it as part of my new pre-workout routine. My first jump was about 33 inches and right from their I hit about a 34 plus on my second jump, low and behold the 4th one yielded 36". I will share no more secrets...expect my vertical jump e-book to come out soon...psych!

AdvoCare--The link to a faster, stronger and more recovered you!
Fella’s- About three days ago, Brad approached me with a sales pitch that would allow me to supplement my lack of cash flow by selling supplements for a company called AdvoCare. AdvoCare stands alone in respect to their guarantee of quality and results. They are backed by handfuls of top level strength and conditioning coaches (John Dettman of the University of Wisconsin, Jerry Schmidt…who was Adrian Petersen’s coach at the University of Oklahoma, and Eric Lichter who is Ohio State’s Football strength coach, etc.), athletes (Drew Brees, Wes Welker, Thomas and Julius Jones) and a world renowned kinesiologist (William Kraemer, for you young geniuses that’s a guy who knows a shit ton about the body)… the list goes on and on. The amazing thing about those aforementioned dudes is that none of them get paid to endorse the company. They are advocates of the products because they know they work and produce results. The quality of the brand and the products is hands down above and beyond any other. Aside from the possibility of making money, the reason I am confident in undertaking this opportunity is that I know the quality is unmatched by most everything out in today's market. AdvoCare tests each products quality and ensures each of their products pureness through an agency in the U.K. that used to belong to W.A.D.A (World Anti Doping Agency).
I will begin taking these supplements as soon as I get my first bulk order. I know you guys train like me and being that I was an athlete (give me credit I still am haha) this shit will help your strength, speed, and most importantly your recovery between workouts. As I alluded to before we are going to be fading the Champion line out and selling AdvoCare products at NX Level; Brad has been nice enough to let us have free reigns and dibs in hooking you guys up with these unreal products. Think about this: If you want to put your body through the best method of training, won't you also need the best nutrition and supplementation to match that?
Included below are a couple of steps to take if you are interested in obtaining great results in your strength and speed numbers:
1. Hit up my blogspot…http://giffmestrength.blogspot.com/ and click on my AdvoCare link or just go to https://www.advocare.com/1002849/LogIn.aspx?restricted=Y&ReturnURL=/Microsite/Office/default.aspx
2. Check Out what I would recommend as must haves for you performance athletes:
a. Catalyst – Contains Amino Acids and body fat destroyer’s used by U.S.A. ’96 Wrestling team…these guys recovered like no other
b. AdvoCare Spark Energy Drink—Pre-Workout drink that’s has absolutely no bloat and actually provides you with sustainable energy
c. AdvoCare Muscle Fuel—pre workout with proprietary blend of creatine and d-ribose, etc…
d. Post Workout Recovery—Used after your done working out you meatheads…protein, maltodextrin carbohydrate
e. Meal Replacements—In between classes or right before lifts
f. Arginine Recovery—L-Leucine and L-Arginine two of the most crucial amino acids that will put your body in an anabolic state
g. Night time Recovery—knocks you out and aids in your sleep cycle and recovery
3. Shop away & obtain results fast
Regardless of your choice, hit me up on the fbook and keep working your tails off men!

Day Late Sunday Secret to Success
Yeah, I know I missed the boat on this one (being that I'm a day late), but now is better than never!!!!!
"Surround yourself with people who are only going to lift you higher."-Oprah Winfrey
If you want to be successful it is crucial that you pattern yourself after those who do it best. Whether it be in your training, your social life, your spiritual life, or your career; the people you choose to hang around with usually rub off on you. Your friends, coworkers, and family bleed into your thoughts and actions. For instance, if happiness was my goal I would surround myself with people who value life, who can laugh, and who can love. If I had a goal to become stronger, I'd surround myself with athletes who lift big, have a wealth of knowledge, and train hard. The point is that although you can do a lot on your own, you sure as hell can't do everything alone. A positive environment well surely influence your success and well being. Have people in your life who you can turn to, who can make you better, and who can guide you in your journey.
