ANIMAL M0THERS LOG

-Training is modified for right now due to an upcoming medical procedure in February 2010. I am not allowed to perform lower body lifts or anything that I feel stresses my core too much. I basically use Wendler’s 5/3/1 and a combination of my own assistance lifts.

This is my super hardcore workout from today…I know, it takes a lot of guts to train like this.
