Just like you pointed out what you can on bench after squats is different than what you can do fresh. In that way it really matters more what your maxes are when done in the actual routine environment rather than what they are in the best possible circumstance when your a fresh. So the best solution is not to worry about all that and undershoot your starting weights a bit and you'll be fine. | |

Gender:   | DIET breakfast- 2 cups of basic 4 cereal and 4 eggs with 2 slices of cheese and a banana lunch- 2 lean turkey burgers with cheese( they were backedm no bread no sauce) organic srping mix lunch 2- 2 chicken breast a banana and a plum snack- a pack of mixed nuts( heart healthy pack, low sodium) PWO- eas protein shake dinned- 8oz of beed shoulder and half a cup of bush's backed beans when i go to bed- eas myoplex WORKOUT SQUATS-5X5 @ 275 STANDING MILITARY PRESS 5X5 185 DEADLIFT- (horrible) 5X5 @ 225 superset with wrist roller ACCESSORIES- AB WHELL AND SHURGS squats still didnt feel super heavy, but heavy enough to give me a workout. tempted to bump it to 315 next week but i will hold my horse. im gonna be patient like i said i will do in the first place and just add on another 2 to 3 weeks to the program if need be. MP didnt feel super heavy but heavy enough for a workout. i think i went heavy enough on that though to maybe just bump it to 10 pounds instead of 20 next week deads are the same as the rest. i can bump that up 20 pounds next week also. i superset with the wrist roller because my grip is stronger than my deads. so in order to give my forearms the workout it needs i just did that. (my numbers for this make me want to go crazy but i know i have to have pateince) i eat vitamns and i just got some fishoil which i added today. even on my off days my diet is pretty much the same as what i post. today was just a day i picked out to eat some beeef. normaly it will just be chicken or turkey. the only differenc is yesterday i had 6 eggs instead of 4. |

Gender: | diet is still pretty much the same. havent changed much from lean turkey burgers, chicken breast, and yesterday i had some beef shoulder roast. but its more of the chicken and turkey on a regular. i eat some nuts (no homo) for snacks along with some fruits. im also eating this organic spring mix for vegetables. ill switch the vegetables up sooner or later. but my diet has been clean as possible. i can say the worst things i may have eat were some bushes backed beans and the beef. i havent eaten any bread, sauces, or anything of that nature todays workout squat- 5x5@ 275 bench- 5x5@ 275 pedley row- 5x5@ 185 accessories. ab wheel and curls my foot is still real swollen. formm what i dont know. i think i hit it on somthing but i cant rememeber. but i been taking some tylenol a few hours before i lift and its been helpin. today since i worked out early and forgot the tylenol at work it didnt have enough time to go all the way through but it helped enough to where i didnt have to limp all crazy to the rack. this foot better fucking recognize ill cut this bitch off. aint nothing stoppign me from finishing this program  . i hate stuff like tylenol but if i have to take it so be it. the foot is actualy gettign better but i knwo i cant squat on it. my shoulder is a little sore from a few weeks ago. both my shoulders where sore but it didnt hinder what i was doign so i didnt worry about it. they botth eventually were getting better so i didnt complain. my left one still feels a bit sore when i bench but i not worried abotu it until it hinders me. i just feel it right now but it doesnt feel like anything super major. i go to school this weekend so that means at least 2 massages. it should def help out the trouble areas. i can care less about actually fatigue or muscle soreness. but the stuff i mentioned arent normal like that. im working on them though so they wont stay a problem. i would say the worst thing are the foot and my lower back. dont know if i slept the wrong way or if my foot being messed up and changin up the way i walk has something to do with it, but my lower back near my lumbar just feel like it need so tbe cracked or something. when i went to do the rows i almost thought i couldnt do them.. but like i said nothing will hold me back. this is typed a little crazy but i am in a rush so the thoughts are all over the place..all in all i completed all my reps and i like the workout. im used to more reps but it is taxing because you do squats 3 times a week which i like. some lifts i may go up more than 10 pounds next week but i may not. ill keep you guys posted |

Gender: | I've been thinking of the wrong program. I should have paid more attention to the numbers. If cursed is another way of saying "ill-designed" and injury producing...then I agree. |
