Far to long….
Ok, its been far to long since I posted anything… Since getting back to work in April, every day has been busier than the last and by the time I’m done with work, I try to push away from the keyboard. Fortunately I’ve been able to maintain my workout schedule. I’ve changed back to six days a week and have been pushing hard in between business trips (hotel gyms suck). Through all that effort, I think today I hit the 1000lbs club. I was able to hit 405lbs twice on the squat rack today, and that’s after hitting 315lbs on the bench on Monday and 315lbs on bent-over barbell rows on Tuesday.
Right now I’m following the same type of routine that I did while in Iraq. It’s a three day rotation staring on day one with chest and triceps, day two with legs and shoulders, then day three with back and biceps. On day four I start over with day one, and usually rest on Sunday. This week I flipped day two and day three so that I’ll be doing legs again on Sat. The reason for doing legs on Sat is that I have an opportunity to train with "Jacked in MI" on Sat and he does legs that day. Should be a good time.
I’ve pretty much run this routine through the entire summer. In about two weeks I’ll be changing routines to a 5×5 program. I’m hoping that this will help my bench as I seem to be stuck around the 315lbs mark, but then there has been a lot of travel this summer. I felt pretty good on Monday hitting 315 so I may try to go up again next Monday, but we’ll see…

Man, you are lifting some serious poundage Jeff. I’m just a wee bit of a lad compared to that.
Good luck surviving a massive leg pounding w/ J-i-M.
