SESSION #1

225 (3,1,0)
Wow. A month ago I was working on 260. Missing a month is pretty awful.

70 (5)
95 (3)
135 (2)
145 (5,5,9)
After the Squats debacle I figured an overall reset was in order.

MACHINE CURL
30 (10,10)
Barbell curls are killer on my wrist so went with the curved preacher-style setup on home gym.

CABLE PULLDOWN
70 (10,10)
Working with a light weight and concentrating on pulling from bottom of lats

NECK HARNESS
25 (10,3,0,0)
Thought I'd have to order a harness but I made my own on a whim with an ATV helmet, some chain, and a carabiner. Works pretty

sweet! Started too heavy, I'll have to drop the weight next session.

RECOVERY
Previous Night's Sleep: 8 hours
Food: Coffee w/ cream, bagel sandwich with egg and sausage, sandwich with chicken breast, apple cider and rum (while decorating

Christmas tree), nachos with veggies, homemade guaccomole, 2 chicken breasts, german pilsner
