Good workout, good news. Apparently a powerlifting club has been started at Georgia Tech and I got invited today! I've always wanted to do this but I was afraid there wouldn't be enough student interest. Apparently headed by a guy with a 500+ squat and 600+ deadlift, though I've never seen him (somehow). Gave out my information and hope to hear back from them.

Best part is, they want to do a meet in April...which would be my first one if I participate. I'd love to do this, and I'd also love to try and be down in the 198 class if I did...sitting at 215 right now. May or may not be possible, I'll just have to see!

You're build arms and then some. Solid squats. Keep destroying the iron.

Thank you sir, and I'd be pleased with any growth.

1500m Rowing. I just wanted to try this out as a mild form of interesting cardio-esque activity. It was fun, will see how the upper back recovers as the rowing was actually strenuous on my traps, though I expect it to be fine tomorrow. I could see this becoming more of a consistent thing.

Good stuff. I wasn't as impressed with the preworkout as I expected. I had a lot of anticipation for trying it so my energy was already up, so maybe I'll notice it more as the days go by. I don't really need a preworkout, I just wanted to try it (all the other kids are doing it mom!).

I've heard a lot about C4 but never tried it. Did you feel any lingering focus whatsoever?

I've heard a ton too, which is why I tried it. I got the beta tingles prior to working out, so I know it was working. I did feel focused when I got back to my apartment, so maybe it was just my excitement of all the new toys that covered up the energy I was getting. All of my friends/acquaintances who have tried it love it.

C4 day 2. Was tired before the workout, dosed 25 minutes prior to and felt great during. Face was tingly again, but focus was definately noticeable - all the way to the row machine which was an hour and twenty minutes later. I know it's taboo to lift heavy and do HIIT on the same day, but I'm just trying to work hard and have fun!

Thank you! I don't guess they really have tryouts, but I told them I was interested in going to the meet with them in April. I just need to focus on continuing to have fun instead of pushing for big 3 numbers though.

Wednesday

Cardio Stuff

Rower
1 min slow, 30 sec fast x 7 = 2100 meters

Elliptical
10 min

Decline sit-ups
+15 lbs x 15 x 3

Get those rows as strong as possible with straps. A stronger back will help your grip.

Keep smashing Creech.
