I am going to be sore tomorrow. I had a personal best of 430# on the leg press. I did deadlifts, step-ups (3 variations), cable deads, and I spent a considerable amount of the hyperextension apparatus. I was getting a great burn today in my glutes and hamstrings, so I went with it. The volume was low, but the intensity was good. My glutes are numb, now. I hope that means that they are going to be extremely sore tomorrow. Tonight, I am going in for more glute work on the stairmill towork out the bit of the lactic acid.

Tomorrow, will be an upper body day, focusing primary on back and biceps. I have been tweaking my posing a bit and that is going well. I feel like my abs are more ’substantial’. My daughter comments on my ’squares’ regularly, now.

Tonight’s cardio went smoothly. I did 30 minutes on the stairmill at level 9, as planned. I followed that up with about 20 minutes of posing. I feel like I have put on some size. I am really glad that I decided to back off a little bit. At the rate that I was going I would have burnt out way before I got on stage. And would have probably looked emaciated instead of lean. I still feel like I am on track, but alot healthier looking. And I feel strong while cutting–which is something that I can aim for for future competitions.
