Notes: Bit the bullet and executed my contingency plan here of having a back day rather than a deadlift day. An idea I stole from Kroc; deadlift every other week, alternating with a back day focused around dumbbell rows.  As much as it burned my ego not to hit the deads, this was still a tough workout, and got my lats and upperback pretty torched.

Notes: More back work, and staying away from the GHR sit ups, as those always seem to tweak the glute.

Notes: Once again, staying away from the heavy stuff.  This workout SUCKS something fierce.  Great way to make light weight feel heavy.  I was dying at the end of it.

General notes: Woke up at 195.0.  Calling this workout a success, as it's the first weekend in 2 months where I haven't felt like my glute had a hole in it. Think I'll continue this all the way until the contest and evaluate from there.  Cheat meal yesterday was a big plate of nachos.
