Notes
The gym got a 97lb kettlebell so of course I had to see what I can do with it.  I did a single getup.  Form sucked, but I did it.  Kettlefags across the country cream themselves over a 97lb getup.  What does this prove?  Nothing really.  As I've said before, if you barbell lift consistently, kettlebells do not build strength.  They are amazing for joint mobility, conditioning, core work, and stretching. So in that respect they are an excellent aid during strength training because they keep you healthy. But again, they don't build strength.  I barely do getups at all (my form makes that obvious), but I'm able to do one with a 97lb kettlebell because I've been pounding heavy barbells for years.

Started off with squats to see how much hip held up. It felt fine.  I'm still a little cautious though.  I'm going to squat on Monday, but I'm not sure I will do the prescribed 4x15.  We'll see.

Overall I feel great after week 1.  I kept rest periods very strict.  Next week is going to be tough.  Rest periods drop to 90 seconds, and another set is added on to all exercises.  My mid and upper back are ridiculously demolished.  I hitting that shit literally 6 days a week.

Nutrition
I slammed a quadruple isolate shake immediately post workout.  (105 grams protein w/ 20 grams leucine).  About 30 minutes later I had a pound of steak and 6 eggs w/ an avacado.  Performed this workout 100% fasted at 3:30 p.m.  Due to the volume of these sessions, I'm considering some peri-training nutrition stuff.
