COMMENTS

• General: Squat PR was a lot easier than I expected. No grind on any of the reps. Although the Madcow template says I'm supposed to go up 8# per squat workout a week I will only be doing 5# jumps until I stall. I also decided to skip 10# this week on bench because my sets have been too easy. I will begin doing 5# jumps again. Really liked barbell shrugs, they seem to put me in a better position to lift the weight.
• Nutrition: Foodwise I did good. I had pasta because I'm at the cape house and that's all we had for dinner. Drank a good amount of rum and beer last night though.
• Body: In general felt pretty good.
• Sleep: 8-9 hours
• Reflections: I probably will take the whole weekend off because there isn't much here I can do workout-wise. I have noticed recently that although my training has dialed back a lot and I haven't been running a lot my goals are coming along quite nicely. I can feel a significant size increase in all areas of my body so even though I'm not becoming a better runner right now I'm meeting a goal I've had for a long time. My nutrition has also been really good recently minus what I'm doing this weekend.
