OK well, I'm sorry. If your pissed i understand, I'm a slow learner. I'm trying my best....I guess I'll never figure it out, i was just trying to do what you said, I'm not going back to DFT but i just want to continue doing Deads Squats and Shoulder Press, they are important to me. No one PM'd me. This just seems very confusing to me, and i get lost in the vast amount of information. I am really trying to say what you take to heart.

You said intensity dealt w/ a 1RM, so to keep intensity high i would stay close to that. Now as far as volume, how do i decrease that if I'm lifting w/ a high intensity....lower my reps...i don't know, I'm not trying to waste your time, and I'm sorry if you feel that way.

I take this serious, I'm not looking to get hurt, or waste my time. I really just want to do everything right, and safely. I'm not keeping the 5x5 just the basics, squatting, deads, and shoulder press. Maybe i explained my self wrong, and again I'm sorry.

I'm not just another guy on this forum looking for a quick fix, if you look I've been a member for prob over a year w/ only 50 post or so, because I've been READING, READING, and READING....the info just tends to overwhelm me.

If your frustrated imagine how i feel. I'm am trying my HARDEST to make sense of everything and figure out what i need to be doing and seem to be getting nowhere, thats frustrating, at least you know where your at, and what you're doing. I'm stuck, and just trying to get unstuck. On top of that I'm injured, I did not want that. I would not have taken that risk if I believed that I did 'not' know what I was doing, but I thought I did. Honestly I think what happened was not being naive...I believe that the bar went to far down towards my chin in the lowered position. It was my second set, after a week off, so it was light compared to what I had been doing. (Do you think everyone in here does every single rep, of every workout, exactly to perfect form. Never one slip, one "oh shit" that wasn't to good. We all make mistakes.)

--You may feel you are trying to help me, and that I am blowing you off, and not taking what you say to heart, but I am. I wouldn't waste someones time, and generosity like that intentionally.
