Hey Michael

Looks like your training is going well. Are you programming everything yourself? Goals?

Richard[/QUOTE]

Hey, Richard. Things are going pretty well. I do all of my own programming. I don't plan on competing anytime soon, so I just mix it up to stay in shape and conditioning.

Some of my goals are to deadlift 2.5 times my BW, snatch BW and get better at DUs. I wish that I could go to a box for coaching for some of my lifts but cannot due to budget....

Anyway, I did a lot of icing, stretching and rolling afterwards. Moving on to some heat and hopefully a gentle massage from the wifey when she gets home.
