Well today was the best I've felt since NJS started. Not sure where it came from, but today I felt very strong on all the lifts. It was awesome to throw around some weight for a change... 275# felt very light. Today was awesome... maybe cutting down the volume of aerobic conditioning I've been doing is a good thing. Haven't cut down the conditioning volume like this in years, so I am happy to be feeling stronger; apparently it is working.
