Last training session. As he recommended, I had breakfast, then half a pound of ground beef before going. Don’t know if that did it, but things really went well.

185 x 3 he said you sure? I said let’s do it

He was determined to rush, he only does half hour sessions, so next was a tri set of wide grip rows, narrow grip rows, and barbell curls. Damn it was knocking me over
