Diet:

im in a hurry so i wont be adding this in. in short: tons of carbs and even more protein and almost no fat lol

Overall Impression:

ok some details:

squat: i got only 1 rep. but the good news is that form was fantastic. no back rounding no cheating. complete ass to grass. the vids will be posted tomorrow. this time im making them public coz i dont think form was even 1% bad. i took a huge breath for this rep and i held that with my abs tight for it. it was beautiful. but for the second rep i took too many breaths and that caused me to fail and get stuck at the bottom. if it depended on form, this would be a brand new PR.

bench press: fantastic. i loved this lift. i did the first 3 reps in 1 single breath as instructed by mark rippetoe in his book and the last rep i did after like 4 deep breaths which i think was a bit too much and probably why i didnt get rep 5. but next time its gonna be easy coz i know i can do it. this is a new PR for me.

im very happy with this workout. im a wee bit disappointed with hte fact that i couldnt get in 3 reps for the squat. but im sure next time with good form ill get in 2 and then the time after that 3.

have a good weekend everyone and thanks for reading

peace
