Rugby practice

Body felt pretty wrecked.

Was supposed to do Squat 5X5. Just couldn't do it. Good news is I PR'ed in my press at 225 (which is also pretty much my body weight).

I have finally gave in and bought Wendler's book. I am going to give the 5-3-1 a shot starting next week. The CFFB programming was just too much and too hard to scale down and I always felt like I was running into a brick wall. I am excited to start a more precise program that is more easily individualized for myself. Taking a 3 day break first (3 days of drinking and watching college football...FINALLY!)

Wish me luck

I am excited to start the 5-3-1 programming tomorrow. I already have 4 cycles written out in advance.

Thanks!

The belt is a crappy one. It was an impulse buTy while at a "fitness" store a while back.
