This weekend was hell to start the conditioning block on.  Between work and rehearsals I only have Friday night through Sunday day free to train, and this weekend I had auditions on Saturday afternoon that I had to prepare for on Friday night, and cooked and competed in a chili cook-off on Saturday night and Sunday afternoon respectively.  Thus the treadmill.

Good bench session.  These sets of 2 at 85% are more challenging than I expected, but totally do-able.  Kind of cool actually.  I can see why guys like Jamie Lewis like doing lots of sets of heavy triples, doubles, singles.  It'll be interesting to see if these get harder, easier, or one then the other as this block progresses.
