Today's 'assistance' tools

White board :

Motivation, goal setting, sometimes just to piss me right off (when I'm at round #3 and 'done' but I still have 7 more rounds to go... for example)

Starting Strength

Best book on weight lifting in general : Deadlift, bench press, squat, clean and assistance exercices explained in great details and illustration, with no nonsense wisdom !

Zone books

To have the right fuel to compete with yourself. Being on the Zone is important for performance in my case.

Ipod

Motivation ! There's nothing better than 'let the bodies hit the floor' (Drowning Pool) or Breaking me Down (Soil... XXX soundtrack), Pain, even Crazy Bitch (Buck Cherry) or Bleed it Out, Faint or Given' up (Linkin Park) or even Hit That, Race Against Myself, Stuff is Messed Up, or Self Esteem (Offspring).

All these keep me motivated to go HAAAARD...

Cell phone

In case I pass out in a park after one of my Kettlebell routines... LOL (I was actually flat on my a$$ after the level II kettlebell snatch (30 each arm, 24KG) test and someone offered me medical assistance... LOL).
