Training day 06-23-2013

Used a bar on my back that wasn’t a padded yoke for the first time in a long time with any appreciable weight.

So true to my form of massacring myself on Sunday’s, I went to town with volume.

I’d rather eat hot lead than train calves. Seriously.

Good lift today. Now I just want to lay on a beach and do nothing. Preferably Venice.
