**My Chiro decided to try some shockwave therapy on me today. Shockwave Therapy is completely new to me. I have never heard of such a treatment and to be honest it kind of sounds like a bit of quackery. But at this point I am open minded. Shock Wave Therapy on a woman's back. It's basically like a construction worker using one of those badass concrete breakers on your muscles...using high impact sound frequency..... definitely different from the norm....and it definitely felt very different. We will see....

** Pretty happy with today. I would have liked to have done 2-3 sets of 735 today but it just wasn't feeling that strong so for every set I didn't do...I made myself do an 8 rep set w approx 70% my 1rm. This Saturday, I will be squatting 665. I am contemplating maxing out and then taking a down week...or doing one more week where i'll triple 650 in the sq, attempt a 755 DL, and do singles w 680 in the squat. We will see.
I haven't taekn a video of anything I do in the weight room these days because I almost always train alone now... A buddy was training with me today...so I actually got to video and see what my lifts look like!! ...A Thursday in the life of....
