(By the way, Joe's a fellow personal trainer and co-author of mine at <a href="http://liftstrong.com" rel="nofollow">LiftStrong.com</a> and <a href="http://powerofchampionsbook.com" rel="nofollow">Power of Champions</a>.) I didn't realize weights even went up to 650 or 655 lbs. :-) It amazes me how many clients go up (okay, I "encourage them" to go up) in weight by five pounds, and suddenly they can't seem to even budge the weight. Obviously, their muscles haven't gotten that much weaker in just a couple of days. As Strother Martin said in Cool Hand Luke (that's right, I'm that old), "You gotta git yo' mind right." - Stephen Thanks for the comment, my friend Joe at Morning Cup of Joe.

Ultimately you need a strong MIND to overcome ANY obstacle (in or out of the gym). I guess the take-away message is that the only thing that can stop you is YOU. btw: I might be swinging thru Baltimore one o' these weekends... hopefully we can catch up! -JS- Stephen,
