• General: I really like doing all this extra back work as I think it's going to help me focus on a big weakness I didn't even realize I had. I especially like V-Handle Pulldowns and rackpulls. Today was a good day of training. I will rest tomorrow in preparation for a long beach run Saturday.
• Nutrition: Good
• Body: Overall good, fatigued triceps
• Sleep: 8 hours
• Reflections: I'm about 90% locked in to commiting to making 5/3/1 my programming for the entirety of the next couple months. I think it's beneficial to me because I will now have an option to run 4 times a week as opposed to 2 (unless I want to run on a day I train lower body which I prefer not to for recovery purposes) and will focus on only one part of my body in training, similar to that of a bodybuilder. I could hit all the goals I have set for the year if I were to do 11 cycles of 5/3/1 in 2012 as well, so even if it seems to be coming slow the big picture looks promising. Long day tomorrow, I'm going to be headed home around 7pm and will be gone by 5am on Saturday for at least 15 beach miles.
