M10 W4 Pistol Squat Day

Summer 2009 Training
Mesocycle 10 - Week 4
Pistol Squat Day

Beginning Thoughts:

My internet has finally started working....I saw Harry Potter yesterday. It was devoid of action, adventure and even magic. All it had is good art direction but otherwise it was a bit of a let down..or perhaps I feel this way because I've been watching Heroes Season 3 and Peter Petrelli, Hiro and Matt Parkman appear to be such badasses they make Voldemort, Malfoy and Potter look like chumps. Either way, I enjoyed the last Potter movie a lot more than this one....

Workout:

Overall Impression:

My weight is down to 188-189 lbs so I am happy. I was 210 in Jaunuary this year and this slow weightloss has been kinda cool.
