I think I now have a complete workout for the week. Currently I am on as much weight as I can do for 12 to 15 reps, which will change up later to heavy weights.

HUGE shock to many that Jay took the title back from Jackson, who won last year. To me, though, the real shock was seeing Branch Warren in the number 2 slot. I'm a big fan of the top 2, however, because both are serious monsters with huge work ethics. Search online for pix or I will post some tonight if I have time.
