Greetings! Some of you may already know me, I'm Ryan Brault's prettier half. I have been keeping a training log on another site for over a year, however I thought it would be good to also keep a record here because you all are the guys who see me at the gym. I thought this would be a good place to get feedback from those who know me and have seen me lift.
Currently I am getting ready for the Summer Bash in June. I'm doing a routine that Ryan designed adn so far I think things are going well. Below is yesterday's workout.

I may start keeping a journal on here, as well. I've got an extensive journal that can already be viewed on www.wannabebig.com under "Guido's Journal". We're both pretty religious about keeping our training journals up to date, and are always open to advice from experienced lifters such as many Illini Powerlifters.

Comments: During last week's back work we did not do deads, we did good mornings instead, so I felt very fresh and rested for this session. It was a doozy, as Ryan predicted it would be, however I felt good and was able to complete all the deads. Deadlift is by far my favorite of the big three powerlifts.

Comments: I loved having IMPE to ourselves today, although it was strange not seeing the usual cast of characters in the gym. I always look for the lady who does a million curls with a 3 lb. dumbell, or the guy who always wears the same shorts and looks super pissed off. Watching them and others brings another layer of entertainment to the IMPE experience.
