done for the day. great session with a painful pump. no pains or aches to complain or note at all. cardio is a little bit down but not bad at all. i actually was able to blast through this one in under 2 hours and could have pushed it even faster and harder but one of my partners is slow as shit and even sat out the lunges. so that helped a little bit on time. i will note this one as another productive day. we will be taking sat off this week as one of the training week off days to catch up on some stuff and to rest a little bit.

no, instead of the bands putting the max load at the top. it actually helps take the load off the bottom. so the weight is heavier from the mid point up and lighter at the bottom. almost the same as chains would stimulate on a lift.

done for the day. i went out to meet some people and support an olypic lift meet yesterday. so i also trained at a different gym that i havent been in in about 10 years. so different weight stacks different angles and different feel all together. i will say that the 9 plates per side on the leg press felt like about 1400 on the other leg presses i normally use. i think the carriage on the machine alone was 2 or 300 pounds or more. it was freaking heavy. all in all a pretty good day. pump was pretty good as well. back is acting up a little bit though. that and my sinuses are pretty angry and my bp could be up a tad little bit. no other issues going on other than that
