If it settles down I'll go back to the gym tonight to finish my workout. I was planning on doing light back, cardio, and abs.

Good luck with that, clearly on point otherwise.

Hopefully nothing big with the back. Solid sessions lately Nick.

Had a game Saturday. Had 2 sacks in the first half, then the game got called at halftime. It was 120 degrees on the turf and the other team had to call an ambulance because a few of the players were extremely dehydrated.

[Tom Mutaffis]

Strong benching/pressing recently! I am coming out there in a couple of weeks... do you still train at the Golds?

Yea, I'm still at that Golds. Let me know when you will be here because I will be back in Jersey from July 26 to August 6.

[Coke]

That game should not have took place to begin with imo, extreme conditions like that is life threatening, especially for athletes. You was dealing with that shit though Nick, lol.

Way to follow up with some good leg work.

Yea, you're probably right. We are all toostubborn though, and just want to hit people.
