Hey all,

Sorry I've been away lately. It was midterms week at my university, so my schedule has been packed. If I wasn't studying, I was thinking about studying. Glad it's all over.

 As I write this, the Arnold Classic is just two short days away. I'll be there from Friday through Sunday, so if any fellow Bodybuilding.com members happen to be there, come up and say hi if ya see me!

On to training business... Seeing as my schedule has been hectic the past two weeks, my training has been pretty sparse. I've been getting in quick workouts with varying levels of intensity in order to conserve time. I am happy to report that now that things are over, I'll be able to get back to a strict lifting schedule.

I am hoping to return to my usual 3-4 days per week split. I am also playing around with the possibility of restarting one of Chad Waterbury's programs. The Waterbury method was a great lifting experience for me, so I think I will give it another go. My strength levels are higher now than they were before, so it can't do anything but help.

I will also, after assessing my conditioning, begin adding some sprints a few days a week to my regularly scheduled lifting.
