Back felt fine today. I realized yesterday that I need to up the intensity of my core work. Also, 'Hypers' is less to type than 'Back Raise' so from now on I'll just refer to them as hypers.

I contemplated pushing this workout back a day since this is the 3rd day in a row that I lifted, but then I heard a woman at work say that 247 kids from a local middle school called in sick with the flu today. So, I decided I better get this workout done asap, because you never know what tomorrow might bring. Turns out I felt fine, and set a big PR. From the video it looks like my knees are still coming in a little, but compared to what it used to be, it's a huge improvement so I'll take it. Awesome day all around.

Life goal accomplished today. Benched 315x3. Now all I have to do is 315x3 with a pause. Seriously, I don't think I would have passed any of those reps in a meet. Maybe the last one. In my defense though, there was literally no one in the gym or the exercise room, so if I failed, I probably would have died. Since my dip station is gone I figured I would try to do muscle ups. Fail. I can get over the bar with my hands under me, but I can't seem stay there for more than a split second without falling back down. Must work on this. As far as the bench goes, I know what I need to work on. Right now I'm intense and sloppy. I need to get to the point where I'm intense and robotic. The last set with 300 was by far the best. I was like a machine with the weight. I just need to work on keeping that mindset.

Felt really fresh and rested today. It's amazing that even with hitting new 1RM PRs, the volume is just so low that it feels like I did nothing. Rolled through deadlifts. Time for some Great Lakes and a kick ass weekend.

Felt pretty good today, despite a rather eventful weekend. Also have a plan now for the next couple of weeks.

I broke my days down into 3 parts: Lifting, Non-lifting, and Sundays, since every day of the week falls into one of these three patterns. Based on what I'm doing that day, I try to tailor my caloric needs accordingly. On John Berardi's website they have this tool called a massive eating calculator that gives you a pretty good estimate of where you should be, based on the information you supply.

I didn't even realize that was right near Cleveland. Now I know where Bedford Heights is. Sounds like a plan to me.
