Hola from beautiful sunny MN, where it is a cool 55 F today and amazing. Black Sunshine, Jodie and I rolled back into town at 9:30 pm last night, completing the 806-mile drive in one day from south of Oklahoma City. Always fun to travel and always nice to be back home.

Happy Mother’s Day to my mom and all the mothers today. I trust it was a good day.

Reminder that the 10 clams off the Complete Creatine Manual goes away tomorrow night at midnight PST.

Gym Tune of the Week: Corrosion of Conformity "Clean My Wounds”

This is a classic COC song, and I am so stoked to get their new album now that I am back home. Yes, I’m old skooool and still buy them on CD so I can listen to them in the Garage Gym without other technology.

This was the first COC song I ever heard waaaay back in the day when it came out. I think it was on MTV Headbangers Ball, if I recall correctly. I was sold and have been a huge fan ever since. Their album “America’s Volume Dealer” is more mellow but highly underrated.

Check them out on tour as their live shows are amazing. Crank this up and crush it today

Much love,
Dr Mike
