Did 7 sets hill sprints. Going to cut them down to once a week from 2-3x, its too taxing on recovery and I'm not a rugby player or a sprinter.
But its rather therapeutic to sprint on a cold quiet evening at an empty carpark. Puts everything tough in your life into perspective. Seeing people I know fall off the training track due to army enlistment, busy work schedules etc is a daily reminder to myself how fortunate I am. Loads of homework and all, lectures, but I'm still able to carry on training. Learnt to stop whining and bitching about the 5hour sleeps I get sometimes. I just eat more and catch naps whenever possible. Seeing how scary work life can be, I'm even more determined to achieve many of my lifting goals before I graduate.
Read through some of Mehdi's articles about training partners. Arnold spoke about how important Columbu was to his training and how he persuaded Weider to bring him over to the US. I'm lucky to have one at the gym I train at. Knows when to talk to me when I'm having a harsh session and when to tell me to shut the fuck up and go do my set. Helps alot when there's someone screaming at you to squeeze out the last couple of reps too.
