After having set an all-time PR on my equipped bench press with 457lbs, I'm now in off season mode getting back to some heavy training while running my gym, THIRST.

This particular Saturday was a pretty good training session, and while I didn't bench quite what I wanted to, it went decent. I decided that I'm going to take Sunday off, and hit some accessory work on Monday, and then just call it until after I'm done with surgery to train. I don't know when that will be, but I'll do my best to keep things updated as I can. What I'm going to put here in my training log is going to have to be something of educational value, so hopefully I can write a decent bit of stuff or put up a video of some kind.
