how did the extra cycle treat ya?

First time was a b!tch, the second time wasn't as bad.

I might bump it up to 7 next time... But more importantly, the soccer field should be dry in a couple weeks then I can get out and do *real* sprints which I'm sure will knock the socks off treadmill sprints.

yes it will. same thing here...snow is finally gone :)

I think I might drop to 2.5kg increments now to try and keep the progression alive. Hoping to hit 150kg.


Pull Ups

I think I'm going to try and increase my reps until I can do 8 on my last set then I will bump it to 4 sets.

Standing EZ Bar Curls

50lb x 6 (drop set on last set)

Thoughts

My weight seems to have maintained since last week. I have been missing the last meal of the day a few times since after I go to the gym it's so late so sometimes it doesn't happen... If my weight maintains again next week I'll bump up the cals.

3 more weeks of this and I'll be in PR land.

Up 2 or 2.5lb since my DR trip (besides the fat gain while there... lol) I think they are solid gains and I feel like the sprints are keeping me somewhat lean. Woohoo. 2lb/mo as I predicted. I love it when I'm right the first time!

IW

good stuff dude.
