Back on schedule. Just about half-way finished with this phase and I’m feeling a bit burned out. It’s harder for my to feel progression when I’m not measuring max efforts. It does seem to be a little easier on my system and I’m not in pain nearly as much.

One more phase left and then I think I’ll be retiring this portion of the blog. I wanted to document the effort and results of a year of focused lifting and that’s pretty much over.
