Now that I've given my body some rest after the APF Summer Bash, I'm running an off season training cycle, where my goal is to build upon my healthy movement, and hopefully hit the platform raw, full power in late 2017 or mid 2018, and rack up another 10x bodyweight total.

Friday's extra bodybuilding work  was another quick one crammed between clients. Still easing back into things and having some fun. All the students are back on campus, so things have been incredibly busy, which is why I opted to get this training session done in the morning between clients. Plus I want to enjoy my weekend (even though I work Saturday morning) and get a date night in with Adrian. Leaning towards a new Italian place about 20 minutes out of town.

Oh, and my Bernese Mountain Dog, Denali, is 6 months old now and a huge 63 pounds! Crazy how much he's grown in four months.
