Return to action

So I put in some work on Saturday at the Rec center at Nebraska and it went pretty well as I pulled 440 for 3. Did that just to get a feel for the platform I would be on and to get a general layout of the weightroom where the bulk of my training will take place. I tried to find another gym, however after talking with an alumni who works at a Max muscle Nutrition store, the rec center is the best game in town. No worries. I did some work today anyway.

Squats: Top sets listed only

300/3
340/3 (both sets done beltless)
380/4 (with belt)

Nautilus leg press: 4pps/12, 15, 4pps(+50lbs)/15, 5pps/12

Good Mornings: Bar/12, 135/12, 185/7

Leg Curl: 110/12, 125/12, 160/12

Squats felt great today and really focused on exploding on the way up. After that, everything was cake. Good to break a good sweat in there too. Pretty warm weightroom had something to do with me having a good session also. Nothing was cold and just went in to smash.

As far as this rugby thing I've been talking about, that may or may not happen. My class schedule conflicts with the season calendar. I will try and make a couple practices and hopefully they can work with my schedule. If i play, I'll be one of the bigger guys on the team. Not sue if that will help, but if I go to London someday, at least I'll sound cool saying I played rugby while drinking tea and crumpets.


Bench on Wednesday. Very encouraged!.
