I like my new Power-to-the-People work-out. It incorporates my love of very heavy weights and very few sets. I plan to become a rocked-up killing machine shortly.
The olympics are pretty motivational. Women's power-lifting and gymnastics amaze me. I'd love to look at a brain of a gymnast. Seriously--these woman are very much attuned to exactly where their bodies are in space at all times. It blows my mind. It reminds me of the notion that there are several forms of "intelligence," and i can see where these gymnasts are physical, athletic "geniuses."
The Dudes' swimming events are pretty great to watch too, but what the hell is up with some of those swim-overalls they wear? And the complete and utter lack of body hair. Does it really cause that much resistance to have arm hair?

I agree with you Christine.
And I think every tiny thing makes a difference for those swimmers. I watched the awesome relay online this morning after hearing the raves this morning and so many of the swimmers were breaking world records at some point during the race - some say the new suits may have something to do with it. Anyway, it was so incredible and inspiring.
Just like you doing those deadlifts this past weekend. I'm glad you like your new workout. I think you are already a rocked out killing machine.
I've enjoyed watching a lot of different events this Olympics. But I think the fact that the gymnastics stuff is so outside the realm of what my body can do, is what impresses me. A lot of the events have people doing things I can do, just a whole better and/or faster. Gymnastics is just beyond anything I can imagine doing.
