Trying to figure out where I am at right now. I probably had another 20lbs or so in the tank, but the box was a little high and as always I had no spotters. Now I at least know where I'm at.

Pretty good day today. Felt good to train with a good friend and not let all my life issues creep into my head like they have been lately. Got in more volume than normal which is good.

Training 2/10/14

Haven't been logging my training lately. I have no competition in sight and my training has only been slightly better than it has the last six months or so. Basically I have just been overlooking it, but my numbers don't seem to be phenomenal. The guys at the gym have been staying on a 3 sets of 20 program. Although I'm not  a huge fan, whatever. Its nice to have a good lifting group so I don't mind repping some weights occasionally. To date the best I've got is 250 for 2x15 and 1x20. As long as I don't get injured I'll be fine. Been putting a lot of miles on the sling shot.
