Boy, so much of this is mindset! I was so determined today after yesterdays crappy workout to really get in an blitz legs, really have a great workout. Mind into muscle. Not only did I have a great workout, I set personal records on the leg press and standing calves, not only set a record on the leg press, but did it for 17 reps!!!...and did hams and lower legs all in one workout. Only got one more heavy leg workout the way I got things scheduled, so wanted to make the most of today. The mind is a wonderful thing!!! Use it!

Great workout....added a tbsp. of malto to my post workout shake, it was brought to my attention that my PWO may be low in carbs, and upon investigating, am in agreement(thanks OS). Thought about some dextrose, but at this point am leary of changing too much. But today, there is no way anything bad could happen. I was stoked, great leg workout!

We will see what tomorrow brings, but plan to use the very same mindset and have a good one. The countdown is on, and each one is vitally important. Even my boss at work will be at this contest, it is always packed. Have to make a good showing!!
