Bradford presses irritated my shoulder a bit so I will have to drop those from the rotation. The JMs were hard, I wish I had videotaped them though. All that BB stuff made my triceps very strong. I will see if I can get those taped next saturday.

Today was a very motivating day. All weights were easy and I had no lower back pain, until I did my cardio. About 10 minutes into it my back became uncomfortable but I think it is just muscle soreness as it does not feel like the back pain I've expierenced in the past.

Squat/Deadlift/ABS

Squat 435x8 - easy, had 10 in me
Rack Deadlift 485x8 - tough set. I couldn't believe how hard the 8th reps was
Weighted Decline Sit Ups and Weighted Side Bends

Squats were suprisingly very easy. The rack dls were done mid-shin and very explosive. I won't go off the floor until I'm down to triples. Never did this before so we shall see how it goes.

Chest/Shoulder/Tris

Bench Press 135x8/225x3/295x8 last rep paused
Close Grip High on Chest 185x2x5
Front Raise 25x10/35x10/45x10
Seated Side Raise 20x3x12
Cardio 20 mins on level 7 maintaining 80% max HR

No abs today, they need a bit of a rest too. On Wednesday will do Squat/Rack Deadlift/Heavy Abs. I will be training in 6 weeks cycles, similiar to what I was doing for BB. Hopefully I will be able to ad 20-30 pounds per cycle. The way I have this all set up, it should be a pretty fun cycle.

Next Meet

Due to familiy events I cannot do the ADAU nationals but I have made up my mind to do the ADAU classic in Catty and the AAU worlds in Florida this year. I think I could come up with something respectable by June 30th. Maybe 630/450/675 at 280ish.
