Friday I went to my buddy's house to train for a change of pace/scenery. I opted for a Vest Circuit because he had limited equipment and was Squatting. I did 2 rounds to warm-up then added the vest.

• Squat: 5x15
• Push-ups: 5x10
• Pull-ups: 5x5

You guessed it... finished with Traps and Curls. We topped that off with tacos and beer. Good week of training. So far, I like getting my "week" done in two weeks. The Friday lift being not entirely planned is 50/50 for me. I've enjoyed it and I haven't loved it because it's a spur of the moment decision. At the vest least, I'll finish this cycle before I make any changes. By the end of this cycle we will probably have most of the football team here along with a good group of Baseball players. Volleyball, Soccer and Cross Country will be showing up as well. Based on the number of athletes we're going to be allowed to have at a time, my free time will take a dramatic dip. I really don't know how well my training will go this semester. I'm prepared to get things in when I can. If all goes well we'll fall into a routine and I'll be able to plan things better. Until then, I'm going to enjoy the time I do have and hopefully have some good training sessions. I will deal with obstacles as they come up.
