COMMENTS

• General: Lots of volume today once again with the squats. All the backwork was inspired from a JP article on bringing up your back strength which I realized I am lacking. I want to start doing 1 full day of back exercise assistance work each week along with the arm and yoke work.
• Nutrition: Not as good. Had a 40oz beer and some junk food while watching the pat's playoff game.
• Body: Run down. I've noticed some minor problems with my body over the course of this week adjusting to Smolov for sure.
• Sleep: 8-9 hours
• Reflections: Well deserved rest day tomorrow. I want to make sure I get in a lot of food tomorrow in order to make sure I'm ready for a huge weight jump on Monday.
