About this deal

He didn’t know that before he tried to kill himself while in jail. Having had a troubled childhood, he turned to alcohol and drugs. He survived four overdoses and went through five rehabilitation efforts without success while compiling a lengthy rap sheet.

Return to athleticism with more dynamic cognitive loads. Often endurance athletes lose much of their fine motor skill and ability to integrate complex patterns. sets of 10 reps. Really exaggerate the deceleration phase of this movement. 6. Walking Lunge-Stabilize-Curl-Press The real difficulty is to overcome how you think about yourself.” - Maya Angelou, poet and activist Single Arm Chest Press on Ball: 3-4 sets of 12-16 reps. Keep the range of motion comfortable, getting as much range as you can. I change when I’m drunk. I’m one of those people who changes…There is something in any person who drinks in a way that’s clearly not good for them, something that is attracted to that chaos.” - Daniel Radcliffe, actorShane: I walked to a bike shop and talked my way into a deal on a bike from some great guys at Bob’s Bikes in Boise, Idaho. Those guys gave me a huge leg up when I really needed a hand. I couldn’t drive for a very long time, so I needed a bike to commute on and to train with. From there I started looking for a job… any job. The problem of alcohol is, it’s just too easy. It’s everywhere. At least hard drugs, you have to have a dealer. All I know is, I could feel its presence in an ominous, daunting way that was preventing me from being my higher self.”– Ben Harper, singer-songwriter The previous two phases of the off-season strength training series were designed to establish a foundation upon which we can increase loads and demands on the body in this Heavy Weight Training/Reactive Phase (HWT). This phase should last between 5-8 weeks. Nobody stays recovered unless the life they have created is more rewarding and satisfying than the one they left behind.” - Anne Fletcher, addiction specialist

Sobriety isn’t dull, sanctimonious, or churchy. Rather it is the conditions for a radically better life, with robust health, positive relationships, and the time and energy to both fulfill your responsibilities and pursue your passions. A lot of athletes talk about themselves so much. My training and my workout. They lose touch with humanity and what’s going in the world. I try to make sure I follow the same process I did in prison. I try to stay in the present moment, be aware of what I’m doing, and be aware of others around me. I try to be compassionate. I read a lot and try to expose myself to new ideas.I once heard a sober alcoholic say that drinking never made him happy, but it made him feel like he was going to be happy in about fifteen minutes. That was exactly it, and I couldn’t understand why the happiness never came, couldn’t see that alcohol kept me trapped in a world of illusion, procrastination, paralysis. I lived always in the future, never in the present. Next time, next time! Next time I drank it would be different, next time it would make me feel good again. And all my efforts were doomed because already drinking hadn’t made me feel good in years.” - Heather King, author I realized that I only had two choices: I was either going to die, or I was going to live, and which one did I want to do? And then I said those words, ‘I’ll get help,’ or, ‘I need help. I’ll get help.’ And my life turned around. Ridiculous for a human being to take 16 years to say, ‘I need help.’” - Elton John, singer and composer I was conflicted about adding a squat because many endurance athletes seem to be almost scared of squatting. In the end, I decided it’s too important to neglect as it appropriately sets the stage for some single-leg patterns in the future and there is no other way to achieve the adaptations squatting provides in terms of structural load. The key is to go light if you are at all unfamiliar or uncertain. Virtually anyone should be able to perform a squat with directed effort and starting with low or NO LOAD.

Never lift more than you can safely and effectively, with good control throughout all phases of the lift. Always exercise good judgment and err on the side of conservatism. All the suffering, stress, and addiction comes from not realizing you already are what you are looking for.”– Jon Kabat-Zinn, doctor and author Richardson, A.B. et al. (1980, May). The shoulder in competitive swimming. Retrieved from http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7377446
