Yesterday I almost agreed to move into a flat which really costs more than I can afford to pay. My sister bless her, searched around online and found a building for sale close to where my shop is currently located.. Without going into too much detail, I am kind of hopeful and intend on speaking to my bank today or tomorrow to see if they want to lend me the money I’d need.
In other news I started max contraction training yesterday, and parts of my body feel quite beat. Remains to see if this kind of training brings good results for me, but really, I feel like I need someone to train with, to really max out on what I can handle contracting against.. We’ll see.
Uhm, aside from that, I am a week old (somewhat cheating) non-smoker and feel pretty damn good about it. It has seemed to affect my will to get other things done to some extent, and my sleeping pattern is slowly getting affected by it too. My appetite has increased, or perhaps it has only changed to a healthier diet. In any case, I think I might just keep this up.. 
Sweden has a lot of amazing artists, such as Stina Nordenstam:
and of course that fantastically skilled The Knife (incidentally also features a superb music video):
Anyways..
I better get my ass to work!

To be able to get the most out of Max Contraction training you definitely need a partner. The amount of weight you can hold in the fully contracted position is much greater than what you can lift into that position unassisted.
Done consistently and with a high level of effort, it will produce impressive results. I hope you find a good training partner and best wishes for success with your workouts.
