Think about when you made your biggest gains. That time is probably the same time period you saw your biggest strength gains.
For some reason we get stuck at "2 plates" or "100 pounds", but it is all mental. I'm guilty of it as much as anyone. In order to gain size, you must gain strength first.
I'm switching up my workouts. For the next 6 weeks I'm going to push it HARD to up my weight I can lift. Sticking to 6-8 reps. I am going to push past the mental block that is hard to get past.

Saturday Morning -- Clean Up Day
Saturday morning. This is the "clean up" day. As a dad with two young girls, there are times where you just can't make it to the gym. Don't get me wrong, I usually can make it to the gym at least 4 times a week. The day you miss you just flip that day to Saturday morning before your family wakes up. Today I missed shoulders, and my arms day was just pathetic. So I did shoulders and arms.
If you want to be truly successful in all aspects of your life, you have got to get used to waking up early. The day is 24 hours long, and that is not enough time for everything you need to do if you don't wake up early. I wake up at around 5:20am on weekdays, and 6:00 on Saturday. Sunday is church so I sleep in, have a good breakfast, and go to church and relax. Saturday is the day where you can clean up the rest of the week and finish what you need to get done.

Potty Training
Weird title to my post right? Well there is a point to this. The last 3 days one of my daughters has been potty training, and wouldn't you know the other one has 2 ear infections. I've been getting about 3 hours of sleep a night. The reason I am telling you this is because there are things that are more important than working out. Family is first. So I didn't work out for 3 days in a row. What I do when I can't work out is I watch what I eat really close. I try to stay away from carbs as much as possible. Lunch is egg whites, dinner is a whole wheat burrito with black beans, rice, chicken, and a little bit of cheese.
