     This week I started to increase my volume by adding one extra set onto the accessories. I had pretty much been sticking to 3 sets, now I do 4. One extra set sounds deceptively meaningless. My body can attest to the fact that there is, in fact, a lot of meaning to that one extra set per movement! Between the extra back work on Monday and the extra chest work last night, I woke up in agony this morning. Tight as the proverbial drum. I'm feeling better now, but still very sore. That being said, I look back and know that I should have done more bench work. I'm not really sure what happened there. 

     The weather has been unusually warm this week and I thought for sure that would mean less people in the gym. My thoughts were incorrect. Everyone and their uncle and some of their little cousins found their way into the weight room. I didn't like it. The weather has changed and it's supposed to be raining tomorrow. I hope that means fewer people.
