By Michael Mahony, ISSA CPT There are many factors involved with weight training. Some of them are obvious and some not so obvious. What I have learned over time is that the single most important actual training factor is intensity. Are you working hard or are you hardly working? We’ve all seen the people at the gym who are so […] …read more

By Michael Mahony, ISSA CPT I am a huge believer in using BCAAs during a workout. I started doing this with Scivation Xtend and the results I got were simply amazing.

What happens to us on a daily basis seems to change how we feel about faith. Should it?
“Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. ” (Hebrews 11:1 ESV)
Faith is all about the things we do not see. So why does daily life always seem to challenge our faith? It is about how we interpret things. If we interpret them as God punishing us we tend to slowly lose our faith. What we should be doing is seeing life’s challenges as lessons in how to live. It should build our faith not tear it down.
I believe that the faith of people will continually waver but I also believe that people need to hang in there. The trials you go through will test your faith, but you should come out on the other side stronger.
“Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, 3 for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. 4 And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be “perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.” (James 1:2-4 ESV)
So stop letting life’s challenges get to you and rock your faith. Let those things make you stronger as they should.

One of the challenges I face daily as a developer is dealing with strange issues introduced by a mixture of old and new code. When faced with one of these challenges I head over to Stack Overflow and attempt to see if anyone else has had the same problem. If not, I post a question and await the answer while trying to tackle my problem.
While many see these issues as time-consuming I view them as learning opportunities. I find myself doing research and in doing so I learn about things I never knew previously. I usually always find a solution to my problem. As such, these little quirks are not a bad thing at all.
I am currently having a strange issue with a change event not binding in JQuery for me. After some detective work it seems that the bind is being attempted before the object is truly part of the DOM. That’s a bad thing, so I will be trying putting the bind code inside of a $(document).ready() block. I will report back on how that goes.

By Michael Mahony, ISSA CPT Motivation is a problem for many people. I know it has been in the past for me. The key here is that my motivation problems are now a thing of the past.
