Felt super strong. I think there is definitely something to that when you are working out with such intensity. Great job my friend. Great blog!

You are correct in that a slower tempo brings more of the eccentric portion of the contraction into play, which not many think about. It is this portion of the contraction that is really nice for stimulating and strengthening the tendons. You may try throwing in a static or isometric hold. Nice also to see you're incorporating some whole body exercises (gladiator moves). Any particular reason for the 2 sets of 15? Also one other point, I would prefer to leave Wednesday off, as 4 days straight in a row really drains me. Just my opinion. Look forwards to where your body goes with this. -T Hey Brian,
