Not much to report this week. I’m still working on my hook grip for deadlifts. I’m still lifting light on bench day to let my pec heal up. Dan is wrapping up training for the Arnold. I’ll be helping him and Zane on competition day. Should be a fun trip. Family is doing well. Can’t complain. Life is good.
