I definately look forward to keeping up with your training log as you try new stuff.

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

*Contrast shower x 10 minutes

*Subliminal meditation CD while going to bed

Here is video of the shirt work I did last Friday:



I think it was 358 for 1. We have dropped the GPP work (elliptical) and the SPP circuit and are focusing on the main competition lifts at high intensities. Lets see what happens

I am dealing with a severe pain in my left arm whenever I do heavy squat and/or bench right now. Jumping right into heavy squatting in the suit brought it on, and it is the same thing that used to happen to me when I used equipment over 2 years ago. I am good for 2-3 singles in the squat or bench before it goes completely numb and totally useless. Unfortunately, this happens every time now; and today was no exception. The good news is that it does go away an hour or so later. I dont know how it will react in a meet with the adrenaline and all, but I guess we will find out on June 13th when we do a tune up meet for July. It is very difficult (okay-almost impossible) to bench after squatting, so I hope there is enough time in-between for my arm to recover.

Wade Hooper is in town and he came to Daves and trained with us this evening. It was a lot of fun for all of us. We will train together again on Monday.

I can't wait till you hit that in a meet, Eric! That's a sick deadlift!
