Training Week 3 - Heavy Week

Monday I went off the reservation with my normal eating. I had way more carbs than I'm used to for breakfast. If I had trained within two hours or so of eating I think I would've felt great. However, we got to talking in the office and figuring out what we were going to do before we worked out and it was four hours later. I just had no energy. I got the workout in, but it was lackluster. I'll get back to eating my "normal" breakfast an see if there's a difference on Wednesday. Here's what went down on Monday:

• FBB Press: 85x5/95x3/105x5 (This might be a PR? - I haven't looked, yet)/115x2
• Pull-ups: 5x5
• Bench FSL: 5x5@145
• Hammer Row: 5x10
• DB Squat: 2x10/DB RDL: 3x10

I bookended the lift with 1/2 mile walks. One of my assistants is getting ready (hopefully it happens) for a meet in July. I went over to my buddy's place (private gym) and watched/helped them with their workout. I hadn't seen my buddy in a few weeks and he mentioned I looked like I was getting bigger. This was good to hear, not only for my fragile ego, but to realize that what I've been doing is getting me the results I'm looking for. I haven't stepped on the scale in a few weeks so I really don't know what I weigh. Nonetheless, the appearance of getting bigger is more important at this stage of my training life than actually gaining weight. I'll take the egotistical victory. Also: it seems that Dave has given Jim, Vincent and myself the keys to the Elitefts Table Talk this Thursday April 2nd at 3:30pm EST. Apparently we'll be doing this via Skype or something similar. I guess our beautiful mugs will magically appear on the screen of the Elitefts YouTube page. Anyway, tune in at 3:30pm EST.
