4/30/12

Going into my fourth cycle this week. The leg days are starting to feel pretty heavy. If I keep on progressing with the recommended weight increases, I'll hit a big goal by the end of the year: a 1,000 pound total for the big three. I'm not going to rush it though; just keep training hard...I've got it in my sights now. 8-)

Squat: 280
Bench: 260
Deadlift: 310
