Todsy we started our prep for the Arnold for some and others for the in house meet in March/April. Was great seeing everyone back this week. We added a new lifter 198lbs to our morn group (which now is 4 deep at 6am), our 1115am group was great today with nova, Ryan, don, myself, Aaron, marivon, and a couple others. Today reps were high at 10 with 5 sets of everything. These next few weeks are excessive but necessary to build the base back and prep the body for heavier weights down the road. Nova took a single ply high box straps down double at 600lbs looked good first time he has worn a suit in over two years.
As far as for myself I hit some box squats in the belt squat machine for triples. It's the heaviest I have gone in over 1.5 years. Felt good. Ran out of time from this and helping the crew then my class showed up. Plan on hitting some abs and hamstrings when I go back in later. I have another week and half till my next procedure hoping it goes well and I'm out quick or it goes horrible and they give me my new heart while in and get it over with.
