Notes: Went 5/3/1-ish this week, and will again through the remainder of April and May.  Started half-assedly carb backloading on Monday, going to try and do it more whole-assedly this week and for the duration of that time-frame.  Weather's warming up and my body's telling me to try and grow for awhile.
