This is what I call conditioning training. The purpose is a change of pace, doing something totally different from what we have been doing for months, and this will also help me to heal from all the heavy lifting.

Squats-warm ups x10 reps do 2-3 sets, then do 68%x2x10 (I did 315)
Stiff Leg deads- warm up x5 reps (I did 225), then 2x5 (I went 315x5, 335x5)
Banded Leg curls- 3x15
Abs- Ab wheel- 15 reps, Crunches- 25 reps, Denise Austins-25 reps.

Tonight was a great night. Coach A was back, Austin, Doug, John, Peter and Dale all trained with me. it was nice having all the guys back.
