Notes:

* Barely got it all in on time today.  Allowed myself an extra 20 minutes of sleep.  When I seek sleep, I give it to myself.  It’s good behavior.

* The cleansing day yesterday did it’s trick.  I weighed in at 167.2 this morning, and that was WITHOUT the usual amount of sweating I undergo from the training.  You can tell it’s actually cooled down a touch because I can wear a shirt while I train again.  Back to anatomy chart levels of definition.  Yes, this is supposed to be the “feast” phase of the nutrition, but with family visits and life happening over the summer, I’m actually starting to learn how to intelligently approach maintenance with my nutritional approach.  The protein sparring modified fast is such an effective tool, as is walking, and phasic nutrition can extend for weeks or be contained WITHIN a week as needed.  All that said, I was feeling pretty beat down DURING the session today, and can feel the lack of carbs over the weeks.  

* I am pleased with how the high pulls moved toward the end.  Explosiveness is always a struggle, but I’m finding better ways to get to it.

* REALLY dig the 10x3 dips on the 4 day approach.  Throwing them in right before bench singles was a significant gut check.  In general, this is a pretty solid training day Jamie has laid out.
