Comment on Perfect Workouts by Chris Ganter

I’m right there with you man. My routine has a lot of similarities to what you’ve posted. The workouts are so hard when done with proper form that I have little use for weights. Although, I’m not a “purist”. I use light weights for various exercises that I’ve just topped out on. I’d never do 200 reps of anything, so I add a little weight when 3×25 reps or so isn’t challenging anymore.

THINK SPRING!!!! Daylight Saving Time starts in TWO WEEKS! Woo-hoo!

Steve,

I concur with Carter and Dr. Romano!! That is a great posting and makes me reminisce of the Cabrini days while I sit in Moscow, Russia looking out at the frigid, snowy landscape out my window. But then again, Philly has been like that this year too.

I don’t remember who we beat that day either but we sure did have some great times on the field. Steve couldn’t have been a better person/athlete to have behind me when I “sometimes’ let the striker through :)

Hope to see some of you this July when I am back in town for a few days of vacation.

Thanks for sharing…

four years ago today…February 24, 2006…I lost my little hero… my whole reason for getting involved with team in training in the first place. his name was Michael, he was 11 and was one of my students. he also had down syndrome and was one of the happiest people I had ever met… he battled for 4 years but eventually could not fight anymore. I still wear his name and a locket with his picture everytime i run :)

just thought I would share with you…

Thanks for the memories, Steve. I do remember the Moody Blues class and Descartes! I also remember a soccer game shoot out that we won thanks to a very talented and dedicated goalkeeper. Who did we beat that day? By the way, I am still teaching DesCartes’ epistemology in Intro class — sans Moody Blues I am sorry to say. Keep up the great work, Steve!
Hi Carter, good to hear from you.

All the best.
Dr. R.

Steve,

It was great meeting you and I will be sure to keep up with you goings on. I’ll put a link to your site on mine as well. Man what a race! That thing killed me. I went out too fast, despite our conversation, and just limped home. But as you said, a finish is a finish and I am glad to have done that.

Good luck and hopefully our paths will cross again someday soon!

Sincerely,

Ryan

That was SUCH a great posting, Steve. I was so impressed with your reminiscences. I had more than a laugh about your experience in Dr. Romano’s class! I’m sure LOTS of other of my students would say the same about MINE!
And I never knew about you and Father Jack, nor did I know about you being there the night Lennon was shot. You couldn’t have been in better company at that awful time.

I am so impressed with your writing, Steve. You are at the top of our Cabrini students in that department. Your example in the way you lead your life is inspirational. Thanks for being you!
