Workout update

With my preparations going for the NPC Europa, my daughter, Molly, in town and a busy personal training schedule, last week was really hectic. On Tuesday Tricia wasn’t able to train with me, so I super-setted chest and back. I really got an outstanding pump in my chest and lats and was exceptionally strong in my rowing exercises, even though I was doing chest exercises on the front end of the super-sets. On Wednesday Tricia joined me for a shoulder workout. On Thursday we finished off the week of training with biceps, triceps and abs. On Friday I worked a few hours in the morning then drove to Dallas for the weigh-in. After the weigh-in Diana and I went down to the hotel fitness facility where I did a light full-body workout.
