one question, on your bench press, when you say 140x5wu, (140) does this stand for lbs or Kgs.

140 lbs or kg.

and what does (wu) mean

it’s 140lbs and (wu) is just a warm up set

5/8/06

This is the first week in more than 4 years I DON’T HAVE to run and lift. That being said, I did so anyway. Let me just say that running track for the past 4 years at the University of Hartford was one of the best experiences of my life. I’m going to miss it and ALL my teammates more than I can describe.
I’ll be headed to law school next year, not sure where as of yet, but what I do know is that it will not be the same without competing in a sport. I’m also not sure what I want to do in the future athletically, and until I do figure it out, I will continue to train as hard as I ever have.
