Moved a few things around today to get in the last of some heavier volume , nothing super I didnt get too crazy with the cheez whiz at least , added in a 3rd "main" dropped an accessory.

Good solid day , good focus , a lot of thinking and introspection coming into the last mesocycle. Ride the wave n see where it takes us.

Strength was there , focus was there , not a ton of gas in the tank but adding in the 2 cups of rice this morning with some maple sugar and cinnamon made a world of difference.

Worked basically 2 mains today , soviet and my conjugate program. Soviet block first then the conjugate like an after set the way you would do amraps but not to failure I kept my rep n set scheme to the 9x3.

Today went real good , God Bless the anabolic power of the Pop Tart.

Good focus , plenty of energy , anger level was up where it should of been , intensity on the pulls. Worked both mains heavy today oops , one accessory and called it to stay some what on plan. Should of just maxed out squats today but ,, ya know. Still managed to cycle volume down so ill take that as a mental win.

I got no complaints. Weights coming down strength is still good. To quote a wise man I once met , " Fuck yeah dude !! "

Today went real good with the shorter work load. Good energy good focus , intensity was up. All in all a damn fine day even if it was a shorty.

Hardest thing for me to do mentally in this last mesocycle is keep the weight n volume on a downward curve. I just want to keep pushing heavy.

Worked Soviet Block as the main today again and Conjugate as an accessory. Seems to work well for me.
