That is a long workout. You are an animal

11 sets???

Well the weights aren't too heavy. The goal is to really push volume, and increase work capacity. Anyway 11 sets gets pretty monotonous.

Sorry for being out of touch. I'm working the Houston area right now. Still getting workouts in.

Here is the last one I did back at home:

95x3
115x3
135x3
150x3
155x2
160x2
165x2
155x3

PC&J

95x3
145x3
165x3
185x2
190x2
195x2

270x3

Goodmornings

Strength is still fine. After a couple weeks everything should be back to normal.

Matt,

Nice PR on that 235lb PC+Jerk. Very easy, nice technique.
