Sucks about your car bro.....but atleast you killed one hell of a session at the gym.
 
Today was chest/tris - legs are wrecked....they just dont even want to work lol - tomorrow is supposed to be a back day which means heavy deads but I am going to take off just to give my legs another day of rest in hopes i can break a pr on DL on friday! well i will do cardio and abs :-)

one note, after leg day yest i was super hot all night, couldnt sleep, and was super hot all morning, CRAZY!
 
An extra rest day between legs and deads is defenitley a good idea. Deads do involve the back a lot but legs do most of the work really. Great workout and hope the menapause goes away :P

Another high volume session in the books it seems. Full body days are good every once in a while for me too. Can really get all the muscles feeling good and limber while getting the blood flowing around.

Also very nice when you can't train often....if I can only train 2 times a week then I prefer to pair lots of muscle groups together.

Big shout out to DW on his big win this past weekend, forgot to say that!!!

Sad sad day :( I've noticed some increased recovery as well lately. I've used SAA's for a while but this combo from team Finaflex is the best I've gotten my hands on. Great review so far Kretz!
