Things have been good lately. Training has been going well- two adays most days with 2-3 days off a week. Been getting a fair amount of sleep and eating extremely well-even my cheats are pretty damned good. Still have some dark beers in the diet though, not gonna cut those for a little while. Still planning on the Excalibur in Culver City in December. Pretty excited about it really.
Been supplementing in style since the Olympia expo. Tried all kinds of new stuff and what is neat is some of it isn’t (or wasn’t) even out yet. Mitotropin, some Champion supps. Wish I had gotten more Volumaize samples…
Anyway one of these days I’ll get the pics from my gf’s computer and post them on here- though I didn’t take any with any pros really. Dunno why.
Strength is going way up as my joints get better. My elbow is like 95% and my shoulder has had no pain for a while now..Knock on wood that continues..Well thats about it, besides last weeks lifting highlight for me- my last two sets on rack deads were 855×6. Have a great day folks!

Were pretty easy. Just a couple of light upper body days, both of which were simply sort of circuits (say that fast) that had a semi-focus on one part. The first day was arms and yesterday was kind of centered around delts. Today I plan on doing legs and core work. I just did four whole minutes on the stair stepper- and I haven’t even eaten anything yet. holy sh*t. lol. cardio is lame, I’ll do more later. Have a good morning folks.

Training has still been going well, just been too busy/lazy to post em. The week of Aug 25 was finished up with two more workouts. The week after that, last week, was kick ass. 10 workouts 5 days- all of them good- though the last one of the week didn’t have quite the intensity that the first one of the week did.lol. Maybe I’ll write them down here at some point but right now that’s too many sets, reps and pounds to bother with. Probably more than a million pounds actually. Anway getting back to the blog action today after a great weekend of rest and a night of the best sleep I’ve had in months.

Tired today, one of those days you know. Lifting wasn’t horrible.
Morning session
I did a series of three giant sets that consisted of barbell rows, stiff arm pushdowns and hyperextensions. All very light but quick movements and very little rest between each giant set. Following that I did some face pulls from a high pulley and a bastardized upright row with the rope and low pulley. All light this morning, sort of a metabolism booster and rehab workout.
