deload week all done, woo hoo!

next week I'll be back up over 200lbs on deads and squats are only 20lbs away from my PR so i am chomping at the bit to get back to real training again!

the bench is still my worst exercise by far but i know it'll get better. my problems with benching are almost all related to the last 4-5 inches of the bottom part of the movement and there is no doubt in my mind the reason for that was i always avoided a full ROM because of shoulder issues on the right side. the funny thing is, since consciously adopting a full ROM on the bench and also working on OH presses my shoulder probs seem to be gone almost completely. but it's slow going for sure

diet has been ultra-consistent and I've already added back a 1/2" to my arms and about an inch to my thighs. Crikey, dont we all wish the new gains came as fast as the re-gains, lol! since coming back to my training my diet plan is if i eat good all week, no missed meals no "un-friendly" foods, then on sunday i reward myself with a treat of some kind. this sunday it'll be that nice pint of Ben and Jerry's super fudge brownie ice cream that sitting in my freezer right now, mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!

have a great weekend everyone, well, everyone except Pity of course
