I took very short rest breaks during the DE Bench today. Just long enough for my training partner to get his in and get off the bench. Everything felt great. Elbows are feeling good, but have a little discomfort at certain points, but not constant. Doing all the conditioning lately has really helped me out. I am tired as hell in the morning and don't care to get out of bed, but when I am lifting I am able to go forever. I don't seem to get tired and the lactic acid tolerance has defintily built up to a great extent. I meant to do some sled dragging, but I have not done so. I am doing other GPP work instead.

Oh yeah... Yesterdays GPP Conditioning
10 Burpees
20 Walking Lunges
10 Water Ball Clean and Press (Standing on a tire)
20 8lb Medicine Ball Slams

***** I bought Jim Wendler's e-book and skimmed it for the 5/3/1 training. After this meet I am going to take some much needed time out of gear. My next meet is not until September so I will do everything raw and try to gain some muscle and keep the weight down. I am training 3 days a week and doing conditioning on the off days. As Jim Wendler does I am thinking of doing hill sprints and other things outside as well as the conditioning training that I have done. I hope to get to drag the sled on the highschool football field if possible.*****
