In the past 2 years I have been pushed/pulled through alot, I don’t want to go into details and I’m sure that you don’t truly care, but the point is that I have rediscoverd several things in my life and have found myself in a place of reconstruction. I am working 14 hours a day 5 days a week and I have found a way and the time to get into the Gym. I’m still not sure what my endgame is but I know I have found a path to it.
But anyways on to the Training!
So I read the Mountian Dog articles and thought I would give them a shot. I did the arms workout last tuesday and was floored, massive pump, and it felt good. Not Arnold good but It was something I had not had in the Gym in a long time. So I build me a program. Due to my Work Schedule my week is jacked up but here it goes.

Got called off from work due to snow, slept on and off all day/night, had planned on going to the Gym and doing some cardio but that never developed.
