Time flies as we are headed out of here on Monday to start the trek home with a short stop in Reston, VA, for myself coming up this Wed-Sat. This week, I had a few crazy sales that are still going on through Monday night on MASS, Qualia and even the Soltec sleep device. Here is what went down this week: Newsletters:

Instagram post of the week: Gym Tune of the Week: Forever Aligned Wow, new stuff from KSE gives me metal goosebumps. I’ve been a huge fan of these guys all the way back to their first album in 2000. Their live shows are always amazing. The last time I saw them, Adam D came out and said, “Wow, Minneapolis, this is an amazing new venue and we are here to take a huge sonic shit on it” Hahaha. Amazing dudes, to boot. Stoked for the entire album and amazing tour with Kublai Khan TX, Fit For a King and Frozen Soul. It kicks off on March 5 in Nashville and runs through April 12 in Portland, Maine. Love, _____________________ Mike T Nelson CISSN, CSCS, MSME, PhD ... |

The holiday feeding frenzy has claimed another victory, and we're all lying in the wreckage wondering what hit us....
If you are new here- welcome! And here is my annual tale of Christmas Eve lutefisk style. When growing up for every year of my adult waking life that meant one thing… ….lutefisk. Up until around 10 years ago. More on why that is important coming up, but first some background for the lutefisk naïve. It is pronounced as LOOT –A – FISK. If you are in Minnesota like I am, make sure you do the OO sound really long. LOOOOOOOOOT –A – FISK. If you do not know what it is, consider yourself blessed....
You there- savage of the Iron Temple, gather 'round! I am transmitting live from the feverish depths of a Festivus where the weights clang like demented church bells and the chalk dust hangs thick as conspiracy theories at a flat earth convention. Let me tell you about my latest descent into the madness of strength - the Thomas Inch dumbbell, that cruel mistress of cast iron weighing in at 175 pounds of pure malevolent intent. Picture, if you will, a handle as thick as a beer can, mocking you...
