A very good nights sleep. Weight: 178 lbs. Now I am REALLY concerned! Today I noticed at lunch that I have been eating until feeling stuffed. This is a bad habit I have encountered before and will nip it in the bud.
This morning I woke up feeling much better. My upper back was still sore but no longer stiff. Both elbows were only slightly sore. As I had planned, I took a 2nd day off with lots of Z drills. This is my taper week so I intended on tapering. For me this means lots of extra rest training as I have finally learned through the school of hard knocks.
Z-Health R-Phase and Neural Warm-up Level 2
I was pleased to see Dr. Cobb, the founder of the Z-Health system, post a great article here on the role of eye focus points for optimal neurological impact on dead-lifting and swings. Tomorrow I will try both of the suggested techniques.

I tuned into cause of my recent weight gain from the large lunches I had recently been consuming. I am a big believer in "eating makes you hungry" and stuffing oneself sets off a pattern of more stuffing. To address it, I brushed my teeth after my large lunch and passed on all snacks. My dinner was very modest and that was it for the evening.

Dude. You are gaining muscle. Heavy weights for volume packs on weight. If you need to keep your weight down, you gotta cut back on the hardcore lifting sessions. Your body will MAKE you eat more if it needs the nutrients.
You already made your weight goal, but now your strength gains are pulling you in a new direction. Your new plateau may need to be upwards of 185 to support your formidable output.
I read that article with interest. Agree with Aaaron that your recent gains may well be muscle. Find a place to do a BF test and schedule one periodically. Here in my hometown you can get it done at the YMCA for pretty cheap. Beyond that, pay attention to the fit of your clothes, etc. Also, you may want to borrow a page from Colin and take a lot of tape measurements from time to time.
Nice going Franklin. Remember, you can't grow if you don't rest. Curious to find out what is going on over there this evening though...
