Monday Training

Today was the start to a new program that I wrote up that implements some 4x4 days as well as some 5x5 days. I feel like it is time to increase the volume. My body is feeling better than ever, and I have started to finally move some decent weight with squat and bench press. Let's take a look.

Back to the Blog and Back to the Basics

Its been about a month sense my last post and life has been treating me well. After three months of really working on my bench and squat I have finally started to improve. I am planning on participating in the Hudson, Wisconsin Open in October which will be my first meet. I am not completely sure what to expect for numbers, but I am not going to worry too much about it. I am going for the atmosphere, further my education about the sport, and watch/lift with some great athletes.

My last two sessions have been great. Here is how it looked.
