Brute Force is back

[Yuen Sohn]

Welcome back! You've made some great gains in the interim. Really impressed by your consistency and commitment.

Now that you're back, I'm almost tempted to dust the cobwebs off my log here as well, haha.

[Derek Simonds]

Peter glad to see you back. You really have progressed. Nice work.

[Rick Deckart]

Thanks guys!

Maybe you should Yuen? BTW my wife thinks that I am insane to spent 6-7 hours with olympic lifting every week...

Broke a tooth off last evening, right down into the root...spent an ugly night and two hours with the dentist this morning before work---to my surprise he was able to temporarily fix it. As a consequence of this malheur I had zero calories intake today, and felt like shit when I went into the session. It took forever but I made it through it...

Next session is scheduled for tomorrow and next week is deloading---thank god! In this Rahmenorientierung deloading weeks during the build-up just mean less volume but increasing intensity for the olympic lifts.

Let's see how this will go.
