Hey Tom, my back was bothering me a lot, so I ended up doing:
warm up
3x flat barbell 10,6,4: 135, 185, 205
3x decline barbell 8, 6, 4, 2, 2: 135, 185, 205, 225, 225
4x pec machine flye 10, 8, 8, 8: 160, 180, 200, 200
then stairmasters for 15 minutes for 250 calories.

I took some advil after for the lower back. It really inflames after back/legs exercises (two days ago).

My trainer sent me lies via text re his pwo meal. I almost followed through but glad I didn't.

Got back on a pwo supplement. Pretty much haven't used one since the ban. Tried 1MR. Felt good nothing extraordinary. Miss original jack3d.

Working on getting my shoulder pressing up. Really think my grip strength is limiting me on everything else. Need to fix that.

[mk05]

currently watching Red Zone while on the stairmaster. Red Zone is a vortex of time...I can't believe I've been on this thing for 40 minutes already.
