The Norseman's Log

Conditioning and Plyos on T/TR now, won’t post but it is there. Will try to get one more conditioning session in throughout the week with light cardio on the bike, but not counting on it given my various other commitments (work and school)

SWEEEET

Been real busy. Going home today. This was a great lift, our lift instructor- a player who graduated last year- really pushed us and it worked out well. Got a nice long break as a reward.

Bike:

Too lean right now to be honest… I haven’t weighed myself in awhile but I have to be in the 230-235 range this lean. Hopefully I hit 240 by the season. I have definitely gained a lot of muscle throughout off season training thus far.

Got greedy, hard not too with the way the squat went. 275 went up fast as hell, could have had 5 easy, but I should have known better than two attempt 315 for 2 reps before even getting it for 1. Still a great milestone to break. Dissapointed about screwing up this part of bench, but I have still clearly gained a lot of strength and muscle. Just looking to finish out the cycle strong.
