I haven't posted for a week or so and need to play catch-up. I have been lifting, which is the important part. A guy has joined me that is going to try to walk-on to the Utah Football Team. He's about 6'6 and 275 lbs right now - a natural offensive tackle. He's coming along nicely and I hope he gets to the point he's pushing towards. He's definitely putting in the work.
Basically, the last few weeks have looked like this:
Monday: bench or other pressing
Tuesday: squat or deadlift, alternating weeks
Wednesday: generally day off, stretching, sometimes cardio
Thursday: whatever didn't hit Tuesday, gets done here, but light including more pressing
Saturday: heavy day, usually heavy pulls and overhead
I haven't been down to Springville for a few weeks as schedules didn't align. I also had a bad stomach flu a week ago that kept me from going. I need to get some implement work in, and am hoping to be able to do that this week.
Yesterday was auxiliary work as I was sore from Tuesday and wanted something in the tank for Saturday. Here is the workout:

In terms of diet/eating, I'm doing ok, not great. I need to improve. I am staying hydrated as best I can, but my protein intake is probably a bit light right now. Sometimes, you just need a couple weeks off, though, to let your body normalize a bit, then back to work!
Looking forward to a big day tomorrow. Thanks for reading!
