Some have asked about his daily routine and here is his response. (This photo is of Sterling while in the ADX, obviously pre-ink.) He takes much pride in his daily routine of  workouts and anyone who knows him or have been housed with him, all say the same .... his workouts are brutal !!!! Many can not keep up with him.....
Thunder's daily routine....I start my day at 4:30am. I wake up  wash up, have my cup of coffee. Then at 5:00am I do my cardio which is 500 burpees, which takes roughly about 35 minutes. Then I do 500 sit ups, then two sets of leg raises, 250 reps per set. 400 side bends on each side.  Sometimes I repeat this in the evening. I know this may seem like a lot, but i have worked out constantly almost every day of my incarceration.  I enjoy pushing my body , it is how I deal with and expel my negative energy and it contributes to my peace of mind.
I then wash up , have breakfast and await my 5 man escort to rec. As I wait on that I will read the The High Ones sayings from the Poetic Edda. I have always found the wisdom in this book as a code of conduct that will help you navigate through life. It is full of wisdom that everyone can benefit from.
I go to rec, which is very small concrete room with a glass panel in the front facing the central station and a camera above me. By far it is my favorite time because I get to call my beautiful wife, Bella, my brother, my mother and QOS.  Since we have gone over a year without phone calls , it is so precious to me to be in contact with my wife and loved ones. I love to hear my wife laugh and yes, I need to check on her and make sure she is safe, it is known that I do not like her job and she puts herself in danger everyday....I love talking with the QOS. She is a woman blessed with her mother's beauty and spirit and i love her sense of humour. she we laugh a lot. I love strong independent women who are spirited, true valkyries... like Bella and the QOS.  I get to make calls for an hour , and I love to spend that quality time with my Bella and family.
I get to shower Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, after rec on the other days I do a bird bath in my cell. When Rec is over it is time for lunch, then from 12pm -2pm I read in my cell, then workout again from 2pm -4pm. the work varies each day, I do upper body one day, lower body the next. Then from 4pm -5pm , I clean my cell, wash sheets and clothes in my sink if I can. Dinner is at 5pm then after dinner I will spend the evening writing letters and sometimes watching television. I will also spend time drawing in the evening...it is my time to relax from the day.  I am very regimented and my program does not change much. I love to climb in bed and re read my mail , I want my last thoughts to be the words of my loved ones.  By 11pm I am asleep......part two of my daily routine tomorrow.....
