Back at it!!!!

After a full week away from touching weights, I finally got back at it on Monday (1/2/2012).  I will start off by saying that the week off was very good for my body.  I ended up doing nothing, except for one session with Mike Draheim at XLR8, for sprinting and agility.  Other than that, I sat on my ass, and played XBox 360, and just ate like crap.  I figured, after 3 months of hard work, a week of brainless activity was in order.
Last night, Steve and I hit the chest pretty hard.  I finished my sets @ 265 on the bench, and they came back down to 225, and then 185.  Then we jumped over to dips.  I finsihed dips @ 90lbs.  Incline bench was just as eventful, except I finished it @ 205, instead of the normal 225.  Finally, we added pullovers back into the routine.  They went really well last night, and I think that I was a little light on the weight.  I finished @ 60lbs, but could probably have finished @ 70, if I hadn't started so low.
We are now going to work chest and legs in twice a week.  Along with sprint training once a week, swimming one day a week, skills training twice a week, and biking twice a week I should be ready for the season....hopefully.  I know i'm working harder, but I just hope i'm working smarter.  I want to be maximizing my time in the gym. I do realize I need a very intense stretching routine added in very soon, as well as a hard core, "core" routine.  More to come on all of that.
