Commentary: Cooldown Week
and so this successful cycle comes to a close; over the next week i’ll be deloading and also prepping for the pt test on may1. then it’ll be another startup as i head into the early summer months looking to add on another 10-15 lbs onto all lifts across the board.
hitting 225 in the squat and dead was surprisingly easy and fast. i really don’t like the idea of getting ahead of myself, but the idea of hitting 315 by the end of the year for squat and pulls seems very probable. as for the bench, i’ve always felt that it was my weakest point, but i’m seeing (the obvious) that a big part of it just might be mental. of course, we’ll see over the course of the next two months when i increase the increments and the challenge sets in.
in other news, as i’ve been adding more running into my regimen i’ve discovered that it’s a hole in my overall fitness that i’ve been ignoring. hopefully i can bring this back up to the same level as my lifting, if not more intense…
i’m also working on a persuasive speech for my public speaking class, my topic being nutrition..hopefully i’ll find the time to convert the powerpoint into a mini-article and post it up here. stay tuned and train hard

the military press for me is another thing i’m no longer gonna mess around with….it’s about time i start pushing some real weight. these numbers will be a factor in the next 5/3/1 cycle i’ll run..
