Welcome

Welcome to my ever-evolving blog. It started out as a blog on Beachbody workouts and products, mainly when I was a Beachbody coach. I no longer coach, not because I don't believe in Beachbody's programs (I subscribe to Beachbody on Demand and use their workouts every day), I am just not a salesperson and hated that aspect of it. I am more than willing to answer questions about my experiences with their products and the various workouts, and I feel freer to do so without the appearance of giving a biased review of something.

I have also started adding reviews for various things I have purchased like movies, books, CDs, and other products. This was brought about by a fight with Amazon in which all of my reviews were removed over a completely bullshit allegation that I posted a review that violated their terms of service. After going back and forth with the morons in the community-reviews department (even after they admitted that my posts did not violate their guidelines) they restored my account (which took them six months to do), but I have been posting my reviews on my blog to have them preserved in case something like that happens again. And here, I will post uncensored reviews so I will swear from time to time and post reviews that may be longer than Amazon's character limit. Everything I post here on any topic or product is my personal opinion, and I take no compensation for any product reviews I post. I am a member of Amazon's vine program and because I get those products for free, I keep those reviews on Amazon only, but everything I have purchased with my own money, whether from Amazon or some other store/website/outlet, I will post here.  

I also plan to do some longer blog posts on various topics, such as how to learn physics, how to get through calculus, and longer reviews of workout programs as I do them. Basically, whatever strikes me as interesting at the time.  As you can see if you navigate around the blog, I had many years in between postings. During that time I was going back to school to get an engineering degree, and learning material that I avoided my first time through college was a different experience and one that gave me a lot of insight into how to do well in those classes, which I will try to impart here for those who are looking to get a science or engineering degree.

Workout Update: Lift-4/645 Corrective and Foam Rolling Day 30

Day 30 was corrective hips from 645 and the back and biceps workout from Lift 4.

This week's back and biceps workout was a 50/50 workout. The lifting portion of the workout consisted of three blocks of work.  In each block, you do one back exercise and one biceps exercise, with no rest between them. You do three sets and have a 30-second break between each set. The cardio portion is three sets of three exercises that you do for 60 seconds, 45 seconds, and 30 seconds respectively. The 60-second exercise is the hardest of the bunch, square squats, then you do wide mountain climbers for 45 seconds, and jump lunges for 30 seconds. Then you finish with three sets of core, alternating between two exercises that you do for 30 seconds each. 

The Lift 4 workout was tough, but not as tough as yesterday's chest and triceps workout. The hips corrective routine was a bit easier than it was last week, and it felt like I had fewer knots in my muscles now that I have been foam rolling every day for a few weeks.
