• Notes: Thank the lord...finally moved my working sets into the 200s. Tough to feel like much of a man when you are unable to squat 200# 5 times (and I regularly hear of women doing much more). Last rep was definitely a grind but I felt great today. It's becoming fun to strategize about how to spend the gas in the tank and get the volume and weight that I want. Much more fun than straight sets. I was pretty wasted for the push press.
• Sleep: Not great, kept waking up because I thought I was going to sleep in and miss taking my friend to the airport. Feel fine though.
• Nutrition: Ate a lot of ice cream last night just to finish it off. I want to start a little streak of cutting out ice cream and crap for a little bit (not that I eat huge amounts). Going to stick to real food, just lots of it, and see if I feel any changes. Means I am going to have to find some good sources of quality carbs.
• Body: BW 165# - Hip flexor feels much better, but I was feeling it on the GHDs still. I have some soreness here and there, but good overall.
• General: Just got hired today, got a solid pr, and training is going well in general. Good stuff.
