Nice work, thats one hell of a total...

Quick question, why did you not drop to 165lbs since it appeared that you were only 5lbs over anyway?

Email me on this one, Mark.

I am going to be tracking my top working sets with the Tendo Unit this entire cycle. The numbers that you see at the end of each line are how fast the reps were in meters per second. So, for all the reps at 70% in the squat and deadlift, the speeds are noted from the first rep to the last rep in the order they were done. We have some more theories about the Tendo Unit that I will be testing out this block of training, so as we go I will share with you what we are thinking and then how it worked out in the real world. Since I am just getting back into it, todays readings dont mean much; and neither will next weeks. However, starting on Monday, May 4th they will begin to mean something.

*Walking the dogs: 60 minutes X 2 sets (morning and evening).

* L-tyrosine 30 minutes before G.P.P.

*Elliptical x 20 minutes at a heart rate of 130-140

*Standing Abdominals x 10
*Obliques x 10
*Pull ups x 6
*Shoulder Presses x 10
*Biceps x 10

*Rear Delt Raises x 10
*Scapula Retraction x 10

I went from one exercise to the next and to the next until the circuit was complete and then I started over again for a total of 2 circuits. I have increased the load on most exercises and the reps on some since the last block of training.

*Relaxation massage x 60 minutes. We worked on my glandular zone since it was the one that showed up lacking a bit in todays assessment.

*Meditation/Visualization x 15 minutes

*Contrast shower x 10 minutes

*Subliminal meditation CD while going to bed

Ballistic imitations of the upcoming lifts

1. Deadlift: 50% x 5; 60% x 4 x 2; *70% x 3 x 3 (22) .24, .28, .36/.26, .34, .32/.34, .28, .36
2. Bench press: 50% x 5; 60% x 4 x 2; 70% x 4 x 3 (25) .44, .46, .44, .44/.5, .5, .48, .42/.46, .48, .46, .44
3. Triceps: 10 x 3
4. Abdominals: 5 x 3

Training time: 1 hour 28 minutes

It is interesting to note that the first rep at 70% in the deadlift for all sets was not as fast as the third. In addition, it is also noteworthy to see the comparison in the bench press at 70% when doing sets of four reps (today) and sets of 70% with three reps (Monday).
