Unique Fitness Concepts is proud to announce we now carry Haulin' Hooks Tri-Bells, These are a great tool for working your triceps effectively from multiple cable angles.
Created to outperform common triceps ropes, patent pending Tri-Bells deliver by providing resistance exercisers (bodybuilders, weightlifters, athletes etc) with superior conditioning effects.
It all begins with a revolutionary new *“ball type” gripping method, made possible by Tri-Bells Hi-tech hemispheres, which more equally distributes resistance throughout the triceps muscles. Combine that with an ultra flexible aircraft cable suspension system and the advantages over thick, inflexible triceps ropes becomes obvious in terms of freedom of movement and muscles stimulation it promotes. In addition to and in stark contrast to dull, “unsanitary” triceps ropes, Tri-Bells suspension cables feature soft rubber coverings in multiple attention grabbing colors which can be easily cleaned before or after use.
Commercial grade Tri-bells come with a full lifetime replacement guarantee and are available in three separate models; Single palm 4”, twin palm 4” and a two handed single 6” hemisphere designed to provide a safe and effective alternative for dumbbell overhead extensions.
With an impressive list of innovations, patent pending Tri-bells are sure to become a favorite of current and next generation bodybuilders, weightlifters and athletes seeking exciting new ways to maximize triceps development and improve sport performance.
(* provides distinct advantages for athletes seeking enhanced throwing performance)

White Mountain Trip
Larry and I had sooo much fun last week up in the mountains. We were ready for a nice
break! this is a picture of us relaxing under the apple tree together after eating our
lunch. We enjoyed the rodeo and the Pioneer Parade. We also went to Hawley Lake and
went out on the peninsula and reminisced about our family and how just a few years
ago, they were all with us up there. It was beautiful. We also saw Larry's family's
cabin they they built up in Pinetop Lakeside and enjoyed Rainbow Lake and the memories
that we have there together. Larry got me a pussywillow and I love it. We skipped
rocks and enjoyed the dragonflies and laughed and played. It was so funny sleeping in
the back of the car with the seat down at Wally park (the parking lot at Walmart) We
had towels in the windows to make it dark and private. We looked hilarious and we
didn't care.
Great memories and lots of fun!

Listen to Your Body When Trying a New Exercise Routine
You know the situation. You're anxious to try a new exercise or routine that you read about in a magazine or heard from a fellow gym-goer and is supposed to be the next great thing since sliced bread. It may be true and by all means try it out. But LISTEN to your body's response to the routine. What's good for the goose may not always be good for the gander. If it doesn't feel right or you don't get the expected results drop it and move on.
A case in point is today I did giant sets for back. I love performing supersets, especially for arms. I alternate a biceps and triceps exercises for each set and I always get a great workout and pump. Today I wanted to try something else for back so I stepped the superset up one level to giant sets. I usually do about 16 sets for back so I planned on doing five back exercises in the giant set with three rotations for a total of 15 sets. The five exercises in order were pull-ups, barbell rows, front pull-downs, dumbbell rows, and seated cable rows.
I was extremely excited and psyched up for this routine as I was certain that I would get a great pump and finish the workout in about half the regular time. I started out great in the first rotation with 15 strong reps for pull-ups and followed by a strong showing in the remaining four exercises of the giant set. I completed the first giant set in about five minutes. I then rested for about two minutes to get my strength back and I proceeded to start the 2nd of the three giant sets. When I started the 2nd set of pull-ups I knew I was in trouble. I struggled immensely and I was only able to complete 6 reps. My tank was already almost empty.
I completed the next two giant sets and the routine but the results were not what I had anticipated. I was so worn out and energy depleted from the intensity of doing consecutive back exercises that it was a struggle to complete the routine. My strength and endurance were both compromised resulting in a mediocre workout. The conclusion was that working back is so taxing that I never had an adequate chance to recover during the routine. Giant sets may work well for other body parts but not for me when working back.
I am glad I experimented and tried this routine. How else can I find out what works best? Remember, always try new exercises and routines to keep your attitude fresh and your muscles growing. But always remember to completely analyze the routine for best results.

Revelation
In January of this year, I had a very choice experience that was very special to me. Because of
it's sacredness, up to this point I have only shared it with family and very close friends. But now
I am feeling that I should share it on my blog for those that are interested in learning about it.
Last year, I was diagnosed with mantle cell non Hodgkins lymphoma, which is a very serious
cancer. At the same time, I was given some priesthood blessings and told that I would be healed.
I was guided to go to the Burzynski Clinic and miracles occurred in making it possible to get the
treatment needed. I am continuing my treatment and am nearing remission. In one of those
blessings, I was told to study the scriptures at least an hour a day. I have taken that very
seriously and have been feasting upon them and they have blessed my life, increased my faith
and brought much peace. One night in January, of this year, my husband and I drove to
visit his parents. I brought my scriptures and a little silver flashlight so that I could read the
remaining 10 minutes in the car. After visiting with them, we were driving home and although I
wasn't feeling very good at the time, decided to read them anyway. I started with a prayer and
asked what subject I should read. I felt to read about the subject of "song". I was guided to some
verses in the Doctrine and Covenants 84:97-102 and read aloud to my husband as he drove. It
was remarkable to me to discover the words to the new song of Zion that would be sung at
Christ's second coming. I bowed my head and asked God, "what's the tune?" Immediately, a
tune came into my mind and I began to sing the melody out loud. We soon recognized it as
"Come, O Thou King of Kings." Later that evening, before retiring to bed, I sat at the piano to
see how the words would fit the hymn. It was so exciting to me to find that there were four
verses and that the song fit. My husband and I sang together and were so delighted. I again
bowed my head and thanked Heavenly Father and asked, "Why would I receive this special
revelation?" I felt as if God was speaking to my mind and heart the words, "because you asked
and because it it time for it to come forth."
The next morning I prayed again and asked what to do with the song. I felt impressed to give it
to Jared Nielson and that God wanted it performed locally first by the young adults. Jared and I
met that day and he felt it was inspired of God. He said that he would love to do something
with it. With Jared's busy schedule of moving, working, dating, etc, he finally took the time
needed to work on the song this week. (With the help of Larry and Richard, we now have
Sibelius (a music notation program) up and running and attached to our clavinova and
computer)
Jared came over to our home and together we worked on the song. We began and ended with
prayer and invited the Spirit and angels to attend us. Jared inputted the notes through the music
program onto our computer. His many years of music study have prepared him to assist with
not only this song but many others as well. He is certainly a very gifted musician.
Jared and I have both felt the guidance of the Lord.
Much of the inspiration for me has come in the early morning as I have asked of God about how
to fit the words to the tune or about the bass part.
Jared has been inspired as he has sat at the piano and felt prompted how to write the notes
into the hymn to get the timing just right.
Jared said he is planning on writing an arrangement of his own to be performed by the young
adults next spring.
I am so thrilled with the opportunity that I have had to play a small part in
this New Song of Zion.
I bear testimony that Jesus is the Christ and the Redeemer of the world. He lives and will soon
come again to this earth. Now is the time to prepare for His Second Coming and I look forward
to that glorious day!
