Before Supper 
 
Week 4. Decided to bump this week up by a day. Busy around next weekend for the sleep study. Also been reading some of Jack Reape’s stuff and I think when I’m done my current cycle of bench id like to do a full cycle of RBBP but based off of my slingshot numbers and wear it for all of the main bench work. Should be an interesting experiment.

Wow. That’s really jumping right back into it!

 

i guess sometimes less is more with deadlifts.

Using one of Andy Bolton’s routines with added step-ups and high rep RDL’s.

I hate when that happens!  Its not an easy press when that air is gone

It was a tough session. Really hot plus the air quality is really bad from all of the smoke blowing over from the forest fires.
