Temple Fitness

I've done some self reflection and set some realistic goals for myself in the gym at Temple Fitness and came to the realization that due to the injury to my left elbow that I may eventually resemble one of my favorite MOTU characters.

So now I am going to own it and set new goals. This is my current final goal to become the realistic version of Fisto.

So I will now give you the reveal. What do you think??

This guy came to Temple Fitness and got a membership. Soon after he got his membership I over heard him insulting other people in the gym.

I took him aside and explained that Temple Fitness was the greatest gym on the planet and that that kind of behavior would not be tolerated.

At first he just threw his head back and laughed. I assured him that I was not kidding. He then promised me to never do it again.

He bought a shirt before he left. I am assuming as a good gesture that he understood and would do better. He promised me that he would be back. If anyone recieves any ridicule from him please inform me and it will be taken care of.

God bless and happy training!!

My first time doing benchpress since my elbow surgery! Don't worry I used a PVC pipe to stay well below my safe weight range.

I am very early on in my recovery from my surgery and still have a long way to go but I wanted to see what the bar path looked like and how it felt.

It feels amazing and if you look at my left elbow it's definitely moving more efficiently considering.

I might have to use a PVC pipe for the next several months but regardless still fun to practice and getting my body in to position to push is definitely encouraging.

God bless and happy training!

Went to my 2 week check up yesterday for my elbow. The surgeon was quite pleased with my extension but had some concerns for my flexion.

These pictures were taken right after my surgery and yesterday I was informed that this is the standard of where we should get back to at the end of my recovery.

This rehab work and being patient is probably the most difficult thing I've ever done to improve my physical fitness.

I am currently doing my stretches 3 times a day and rehab 2 times a week. Appreciate everyone's prayers, and encouragement.

God bless and happy training!!

Way to work for it Dorothy! Love seeing people at Temple Fitness give it their absolute all. The first time she tried the bar wouldn't budge but she dug down deep and willed it to move.

Who says people do not have super hero powers?? When we learn to give it our all great things happen. Proud of you Dorothy. She still had her first max to do after this.

Sure good to be back in here even if just for a little bit today.

Complete transparency!! I am also really good at being lazy! Hahaha.

Also I have to be very disciplined. I have a 5 pound weight restriction for 2 months. God sure has a sense of humor. Cannot wait to see everybody!!

God bless and happy training!!

This may have been where my obsession for strength and fitness began all those years ago.

Been watching the original MOTU Cartoon series and discovered that they came out in 1983, when I was only 4 turning 5. This explains alot!

This was a magical time and I hope that Temple Fitness is helping to regain some of that original magic.

God bless and happy training!!

So blessed to have other passions to keep me company while I am on the mend and can only lift 5 pounds with my left arm till I heal up.

I will definitely get creative and find ways to train till I heal up but today I enjoyed some bread making with my sourdough starter.

The bread of choice is bapka which in the Jewish culture means grandma. Bapka is a dessert and everyone knows there's nothing much sweeter than an awesome grandma.

God bless and happy training or whatever passion you choose to participate in.
