NOTES: Trained at Gold's Gym in Austin. For some reason tonight EVERYTHING felt really light. I felt like I could have done 405 for 10 (maybe not, but it felt like it). I am very pleased with this workout and think this volume training is going to get my bench back where it belongs...the mid-6's. No more of that 589 crap! Goals for Men's Nationals: 727.5 squat / 633.7 bench (and would like to take a shot at the IPF Masters WR of 639) / 650.2 deadlift / 2,011.7 TOTAL, which would be a new USAPL Masters American Record.

Thursday
Deadlifts - 135 x 8 x 2 sets; 225 x 5; 285 x 5; 345 x 4; 405 x 3 x 2 sets; 455 x 3 x 5 sets
Stretched and called it a night...
NOTES: Speed felt really good with tonights numbers.
