Onto the next block of my modified 5/3/1 training. We are cutting back slightly on the volume and switching out a couple of exercises that weren't working out while adding in a couple others that should help bring up some weak areas. Today went pretty well, but I was all over the place and seriously inconsistent with my technique on log today. Fortunately the weight was light so I was able to compensate with stupidity. Also Wednesday I have 2 final exams for my winter semester, one for visceral anatomy lecture and one for the associated lab. This means I'll probably be studying 10-12 hours minimum over the next day and a half and testing for about 4 hours on Wednesday. On the bright side, I get to train after it's over and then it's on to the start of Spring semester on Monday of next week.

Ab Circuit
2 times through, hip flexors are still my limiting factor here. I'm going to stick with only 2 sets until they start to catch up and then I'll add a third set.
