DECEMBER AND XMAS PREPERATIONS

December is here already, with xmas just a couple of weeks away. Can’t believe another year
went by…..so fast!
Being already a few days into the xmas month, today “The Bunz O Steel” decorated the xmas tree over at Lefty’s house.

We had a good time getting this really a nice tree Kim got a hold of, and covered with lights and ornaments.

Enjoy the XMAS month of 2010
God Jul!

ANKLE SURGERY

My ankle is wrapped up and in a boot, healing up after last weeks surgery.

October 19th Dr. Peter Gerbino  did a surgery on my right ankle.
My FHL tendon was starting to give me a lot of problems, inkluding my ankle locking up on me.

Dr. Gerbino has done all my surgeries, including  my left ankle 3 years ago.
The results from that, and the shoulder surgeries he done on me,
is the reason for me returning to him and his staff again.
I don't think I can get a better surgeon. Plus the people working for him always takes great care of me!
I always ask if I he can take pictures while I "sleep", and this time was no different ;-)
Here are 3 pictures from my ankle surgery:

 

Now I am at home recovering, and hopefully it will be a fast one! 

WHAT NUMBER??

It’s less than 2 weeks before the 2010 Olympia. Not much time at all, but still some left to reach that peak we all try to hit on the day of competition. Sometimes we do, sometimes we don’t.

That's why we are there!!

I get asked from a lot of people what numbers I am aiming for. Something I guess is a very normal question in a sport like powerlifting. This is one question I actually can’t answer you on. Why, because I don’t set my goals that way. I rather focus on “strong lifts”, then “what number to lift”. It’s a mental thing, and our mind is very strong! Why put a break on it?  

On the day of the competition I only have one number I focus on, and that is my first lift.
Then I take the rest from there.

No plans leaves it wide open for me to try whatever weight I want, based on how I feel right that second.

See you all at the Olympia!
