REUNITED AND IT FEELS SO GOOD

Boy, looking back at that picture makes me realize I certainly did let myself go for a while. It looks like my shoulders were trying to swallow my head. There was a disturbance in the force on the East Coast. My hetero life partner Matthew Rhodes came to town. He was either speaking at some High School thing or it was the annual Marfan‘s convention. I am guessing the latter. Anyway, he came by a little late as always, but that‘s Matt. We broke bread, yes, he actually saw me eat carbs, talked training, had a bunch of laughs, and watched some UFC. Mayor Rhodes is one of my best friends. It is great to have people in your life that time can pass where you don‘t see or talk to each other for a while and when you do, you just pick up where you left off. I am not a fan of needy people. There is nothing worse than a friend who says "Why haven‘t you called me?" If you say that to me the answer is always "Because I was avoiding you!" The moral of the story, don‘t be a needy friend. Alright, enough of that touchy feely crap. Let's talk training. The upper body weights all felt right and all the assistance was good. With the lower stuff, it was bodyweight work so I pushed my myself. I beat my time every week as you will see noted with the numbers. I really was training against the clock like an animal. No sense in taking it easy. Take note, if you don't think you are training hard enough, then you are not! My hip and back are in good repair. So for my upcoming deload week I will squat and dealift lightly. My self imposed three week purgatory is up and I believe it served its purpose. The numbers on the squat, dl, and ohp will be light. I am going to skip bench to give my biceps tendon issue two weeks to heal as much as possible. It really only bothers me when I bench. I'll do some type of circuit that day instead. Other than that, there will be no assistance. I can tell I am dragging from this last week. Six weeks without a deload is too much with everything else I am doing right now. They'll probably happen every four, but that's a programming issue for another log post. As always thanks for reading.
