Another new personal record

It was also the first day back to school for students (I'm a teacher so its a big deal), so I was in a great mood when they got to class today. My goal is still 380 by the end of this year.

I took some time off of heavy training for a while to work on mass and that's all my body needed. Changing your routine really does work (I knew that but others seem to have a hard time with change). My gains seem to be incredible this time around. Next week: squats!!! By the way, this is all without any crazy supplements. Creatine, glutamine, and a multi twice a day. That's all. No whey protein (all out and no cash), just a sick amount of food and water. Hopefully I can be an example to those looking to have awesome gains and getting suckered into buying ridiculous supplements that don't work. Save your money and train HEAVY!!! -------------- --JBennett "I've up-ed my intensity.... now up yours!" "Pain is only weakness leaving the body."
