Today concludes the final day of testing this week, I'm moderately happy with the results. Some things are down from last year but I think that is reasonable considering the differences in training. Last year I came in fresh and the total workload was much less, straight out of high-school there was no "compound training effect" leading to overall fatigue. I'm also taking a different approach this year, essentially get as strong (and heavy incidentally) as possible before cutting like mad. This will probably lead to greater gains later in the year, last year my initial testing results were the higher than both November and January results. This year I'm expecting a huge jump each six week interval. I'm also bouncing around 166-167lb's...
   Deadlifts were hurting my hamstrings today so I decided to cut them out.
