Week 1, Day 1 - Back/Bis/Calves

This week I started a new training phase. I just finished an 8-week volume phase and took a backoff week last week to rest up a bit before charging into the final months of my contest prep. This week's schedule was screwy due to flying back from Seattle and not being able to train Monday, but next week I'll be back to normal.

The new split is 4 days of lifting (last cycle was 5) with no chest work except for routine strength work, and minimized arm work as well. I will do 2 conditioning routine practices and 2 strength routine practices each week, and run once on the weekend. Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday are off from weights entirely.
