I was dragging all day today. I was able to get about 3 hours of sleep last night and I was not looking forward to training at all today. Not feeling like training is usually the preclude to a great training session and today was no exception. The pump was crazy and I moved some more weight on the deads....with 90 second rest periods. I dropped all other rest periods to 60 seconds. I finished off with about 10-15 minutes of stretching per Derek's recommendation. He says that not stretching enough is the reason for my back stiffness on my upper power day. I stretch often, but I will move it to 2-3 sessions of 10-15 minutes a day.

If you use that logic, then your DB inclines/Leg Presses/Most Other Leg Movements/Cable Crossovers/Crazy Cardio Ability should make you feel like a man....but I don't think you want that.

[Vytis]

Another great workout Paul. Its my turn for the carb meal tonight. Do I seem a little excited.....?

Where can I get me some trolls (jealous fans)?

Great training. Hit a discount commercial gym that was packed with people who love to remind me why I do not like discount commercial gyms. It was tough to get a workout in when I had people coming up to me talking all the time. I tried not to be rude, but between my friend I trained (300 lb former college lineman who used my bench weight for a warmup) with and myself, we were questioned between every set. Oh well, got the work done and watched the Affliction fight at night. Good day.

Put this down as one of my best days to date. I hit my old gym on the way down South (Tennessee). They have an angled smith as opposed to my usual vertical one. This allowed for an awesome movement. It was sweet. After being one upped in all lifts yesterday, I was able to get past my training partner today. It felt great....until my crazy long drive to Tennessee. That was a painful drive.

I hit a gym outside of Indianapolis today to do a little running and break up my drive. Got in, got it done, got back on the road. I am back to the apartment and getting caught up on my posts. Taking tomorrow off and back to normal on Wednesday.

[jaim91]

Wow...welcome back I think you have a record for most workouts posted in one day, lol!

Have a good off day! (p.s. didja see the vids frmo the weekend in my journal?)

I just tied my previous best of three. Would have been better, but I forgot my wireless card thing at my apartment.

I did and just commented. They look great. I will have to charge you for my time for having to read through about 3 pages of nude comments though, lol.

That leg day was serious business Paul. Good lord at that squat #

[devo09]

getting stronger I see.....Thumbs up to that

Love me some leg day. Although my buddy told me he wouldn't train legs with me again. He said I work too hard....and he was not a fan of the PWO cardio (honestly, neither was I).

getting stronger I see.....Thumbs up to that

I don't really know. Yes the weight is going up, but I am not sure about the strength increasing. I was using a different smith machine, which had an angle. This seemed to hit my groove a little more. Also, I am still in the process of regaining my confidence in my surgically repaired knee. I am getting stronger, but I think that there is more too it than gaining muscle because I shouldn't be doing that now. I do not know, but I will not complain.

[Vytis]

I wouldn't complain about throwing out workouts like that either. Just pretend like this should be the norm, smile and continue to smash the weights... Good stuff!

[MoEcho]

That's ok! I'll train legs with you anytime!

[Young9]

you little gym whore!

I do tend to complain about decent workouts, don't I? OK fine....but no smiling, just an evil grin as I approach the deadlift on Friday.

That's ok! I'll train legs with you anytime!

Perfect....but I am not sure that I can keep up with your crazy self. What about the PWO cardio?

Everything is looking on POINT bro...3 diff gyms in 1 day?
you little gym whore!

Correction, three different gyms in one posting day. Three days of training.
