Notes: In between that AM and PM workout I was able to get in 6 hours of mostly restful sleep. It is so good to be back to this style of training and the eating that comes along with it: I feel alive again. Building is always better than losing. It took around set 3 of the supplemental work to really find the sweet spot on my back for the barbell. I’m still getting in the supplemental work in under 20 minutes, and that’s with extra stuff tacked on. Will keep that up as much as I can. Plan is to keep rest even shorter on the 5s week and to lengthen it on the 1s week and take out some of the extra stuff. Squats are heavy but manageable now. Fran was good to get some bloodflowing into the quads and speed recovery up. Remembering all my old tricks.

Plan is to hit up a front squat based conditioning workout tomorrow. I wanna take 300 and see how many reps I can get, so thinking START with Juarez Valley, take it to the end (should be a short one), then strip it down to 225 and Tower it back up. I have a relaxed week after that.

EDIT: Meant to mention that I’m seeing the cool effects of increased food in my physique. My abs were ridiculously popped out this evening. It’s so funny how, when you start cutting, you immediately look like crap whereas when you start gaining you immediately look awesome.
