Nothing like a good thunderstorm to wake you up at a ridiculous hour. The first crack of thunder was at 3:00 a.m. this morning, and that was the last time I felt the joy of sleep. By 3:45 I figured I might as well get up and be productive. Sure enough, I actually had a great workout, too…

Note: My current PowerBlock gym split is based on the X-Rep Mass-Detail Workout in the Ultimate Mass Workout e-book.
Summary: I thought for sure I’d feel dead in the gym, but a guess that half a pot of coffee did the trick. Strength was good and pump was incredible – maybe because I had enough time to eat twice before training. LOL! Delts felt nice and full, and arms were on swole patrol. Forearms really swelled up, too. Now, however, it’s about time for a nap.
