97 total reps, and I felt excellent on every one!
You can follow my daily updates here on Geek2Freak, and you can follow my overall weekly recaps every Sunday at FitBuff.com.
Also, for my daily updates from before this blog was born, check here: Personal Daily Workout Log (June 4, 2007 - July 17, 2008).
(I recommend perusing October 2007 and the following several weeks, as those were especially turbulent times, including major jaw surgery, being wired shut, and losing nearly 20 pounds in 7 days!)

Workout Journal Notes
I felt really good and strong today, from the first rep to the last. I may be overanalyzing and/or overcompensating mentally, but it certainly seems like a night-and-day change from last week’s high-carb experiment.
With only about 150 grams of carbs on workout days and 100 grams on non-workout days, I have just as much energy, if not more, without any of the gassy, bloated feeling from last week.
We’ll see how that translates in the measurements this Sunday, but I’m expecting great results.
I completed every single rep today (97 total!), and there’s only one more day of “Very High” load week left, which, of course, is tomorrow.
I’m ready for it, and I can’t wait to enjoy the fruits of my labor in next week’s “Very Low” load recovery week.
