Mike D. has been killing it lately. His strength numbers are jumping up on what seems to be a exponential scale and he recently took his “Baseline” from 21:29 to 7:09. Mike used to be a football player and is starting to find his old strength after a little break from fitness. It is inspiring to see this kind of progress in such a short time.





Congrats mike – very well done on the baseline!
Do I get extra credit if I’ve already run 3 miles today?
You’re crazy. What time do you wake up?!
Great work, Mike! And Elizabeth — you’re making the rest of us look bad — 3 miles before 6:30 am?!
“deload” is, I think, one of the saddest words in the English language
What’s the reasoning behind it?
Highbar squats to take some load off he posterior chain before the run?
Great Job Mike! simply awesome =)
Great job Mike! That’s an insane improvement.
1) Good work Mike. That is awesome.
2) Elizabeth, there is clearly something wrong with you. But in a good way.
3) What does it say that all of us are up this early are looking at an exercise website. Nerds.
