Hit all workouts this week, just no time to log them. Weights maintained and went up slightly. Great week. Gotta screw the diet down tighter.

Best hilight of the week was my weighted dips and T-Bar row's

T-bar rows
Drop set from 7 plates PR only pulled it for 4 on the first set but happy, this was after bent over overhand rows.

Dips
Hit final set of 8 weighted at 150#'s largest DB we have in gym, gotta come up with some way to add more weight.

Wow is it just great to be alive! best condition of my life, stronger than ever, waist just measured under 39 (47 a year back iirc). Well still broke at 40 kinda sucks, but I feel good. Been on a super slow cut more a recomp for the past year. Finally a summer i'll feel good about at the pool and beach.

**polishedball** · 03-03-2012, 02:06 PM
