Avengers. Mt.Rushmore of Avengers T-Shirt. It has Avengers superheroes instead of the presidents on Mt.Rushmore. I hope you have that clearly now. I am pretty sure I got this shirt at Wal-Mart. Flip-Flops... I watched out for my back on Front squats and especially on Block Pulls. I used a belt on Block Pulls and I only tightened it enough so that I could still fit my hand through it. This allowed me to get into a good position while still giving me enough back protection. (I know that the belt, especially being loose, doesn't help much with actual back support, but is more for intra-abdominal pressure. It is a psychological thing for me.)

Flip-Flops... Training felt great today. Shoulders were a little sore from yesterday but I managed to complete all reps/sets required for the day. I am really starting to get into this new training style. I know it will get harder the next couple weeks as intensity and volume change, but hopefully my body will be ready for the adaptation.

Daily "Selfie":
Tough As Nails T-shirt. Flip-Flops... I feel that this new style of full-body hypertrophy training is going to kill me. I have never trained this way before. I hate reps higher than 5 (I am a powerlifter you know). This is going to take some getting used to. That being said, I have been having fun with some new exercises and have actually been hitting most of my reps. I feel that this training will really help with my muscular endurance (not a lot of endurance, but better than what I currently have) and give me some GAINZ in the muscle size department. My quads are sore after two days of front squats, but not as bad as I thought they would be. Maybe they will be worse tomorrow.
