Hartschuh's Off Season Training Log (5/3/1 and More...)

[UHCougar05]

Well, I'm putting up my log here again. I'll be doing 5/3/1 through the end of the year and possibly beyond. My next meet won't be until the next APF Texas Classic some time in April 2010. I'm going to try and get my weight down as my wife and I are expecting our first child in January, so it's time to get healthy and brutally strong at the same time.

Here's the video of my last meet:
