Tuesday 9/3 Peach is back to school and titty is still no where near coming back to the gym, so Ben and I basically have all of baystate to ourselves.

Its good to have Ben back as a lifting partner (I was lifting on the main rack while peach Read More
Own your performance and take responsibility for your actions. That was the mandate issued in Upholding the Standard in March 2012 and while the more things change, the more they stay the same.

I also grade novices or intermediates on technical improvements and becoming more acclimated to the competitive experience. Six Read More
