Very nice man. Looks like traction is starting to take hold.

How are you liking BP so far? Anything else you need help with?? It's why I'm here... :)

Absolutely terrific work man, and you made the RIGHT move - taking that extra day off!

Do take heed of these signs (slight fevers, aches and pains). Many times, your body is telling you something - that being to back off. High intensity stress such as we introduce in BP does drain the body of its resources. You honestly need to put back, before draining away again at the next session.

In essence, the more recovery tips you practice the better. Today at 41, I devote the majority of my time to recovery issues. It's a fundamental law of your physiology: You need to recover before you can grow...

Otherwise, fantastic work!!!
