"The Beast"

"Conquer the beast, Lest it conquer you."
These words are printed on the bottom of my Thursday strength circuit. You see, it turns out that when you tell your strength coach that you want him to feel free to experiment with you in your training, things get interesting real fast. Entitled "The Beast," my Thursday workout is an excellent example of this. Wanna try?
