couple of questions today :)
1. my shoulders are sore from my workout yesterday and I noticed when I was doing my posing practice it really hurts when I do the lat spread, is that ok/normal?

2. Will I keep doing my normal rotation of workouts until the last week(before peak week)? I want to make up my August calendar.

3. I've been reading that some people stop running becasue it's not good for quads, what do you think? I've been running 3 days a week now. Also, on my steady state cardio days where I go for 45 minutes, my average heart rate is around 150-155, is that OK?

4. Some people say lots happen the last 2-3 weeks, but I didn't find that to happen last time for me, do you think this time will be different? (yeah, I'm starting to get into that freakout mode where I don't think I'm going to be ready!) Last year, at this time I was on a lot less carbs/fat and calories and your way seems to be working a whole lot better so far.

Thanks Joe!!
