Got to the part about rooting chicks, masturbating, hormones etc and then it went a bit quiet. Dropping him off to the airport this arvo flying back to Melbourne.

 

Starting to feel a bit stronger in the legs, managed to get through 8 sets with rest only 2mins. Last 2 sets rest of about 31/2 minutes. Got through it, just a minor twinge on the inside of my left leg, put some rub on it, should be all good.

Day 3 week 3

 

Squat

 

60-8

 

80-6

Definitley feel stronger in this area now, and I feel this short version has really helped things along quite nicely, to get through relatively injury free (except for tight tendons around top of knees).

 Looking forward to another challenge after I finish off this coming Monday. More to come....Peace.
