Canon and I

Working out at home has it's advantages.
1. You're at home!
2. You have more time to lift. My routine takes 1.5 - 2 hours. A typical strength day starts at 4:00am with God and a cup of green tea. I read scripture, devotionals and then I get a couple of pages from my current book "The Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle. Want to get out of the past and stop the anxieties of the future? This book is phenomenal.

Then the warm - up: typically 3-5 min jump roping, then a couple rounds of shoulder dislocations, shoulder rolls, situps, samson stretch and pec/shoulder stretches.

My lifts consist of Back Squats, Bench Press or Press, and Deadlifts or cleans. Each movement consisting of 4 to 5 warmup sets and then the working set of 3x5's.
(On weekends when I have even more time I throw in at the end sets of pullups or ring dips.)
3. Having the convenience of the kitchen and bathroom right there.
4. The BEST of all - having Canon with me. I treasure Canon at home with me, showing me what I do wrong, it's like my own personal trainer in my house 24/7.
Unlike Tom whom I traveled with this spring or Woody who watched me outside all summer, Canon is a keeper! A matter of fact if it wasn't for Canon I wouldn't know if I was low enough on my squats (in which I was proven wrong on many many occasions) or if I was pulling too early on my cleans. (another issue I kept thinking I fixed and really hadn't)
This video is me finally getting a long awaited PR of 170x3x5.
