Well I had a really busy weekend and just didn't have the mojo to do intervals so I just did some steady state cardio instead. Better than nothin!

Bench went awesome today for some reason. I thought 8 reps would be solid ... surprised myself and rocked out 9.

I think the rowing is starting to show in my weight. I think I'll keep the cals the same for this cycle and if I'm still dropping I might bump it up next cycle. Can't hurt to lean out a touch. ha

Oh ya, and I cracked 16" on the bis today. Woo! 16" left and 16 1/8" right. Not huge but getting there.

Thoughts

Well I'm a little upset with myself for messing up my squats. I could have had a huge PR total week (it still was a PR but just by a few lb). I guess my very high intensity rowing had an effect on squats.

I may have to switch to a low intensity wednesday and high intensity on the weekend. I dunno.

And it's bday too!
