Thanks Matt. I'm pretty disappointed that I wasted as much time as I did with the last routine, which was recommended to me. The whole time I worked on squat form during leg workouts and never did much weight. I didn't deadlift or do military press. My overall strength is down big time. And a week or so after the guy had me start the routine, he went out of town for a month. So I haven't been able to talk to him and work out the many hurdles that arose. I think I know enough now to not listen to other people. Ever.
j/k, but about my own training, I think I'm competent enough to do my own thing at this point. I'm looking forward to catching back up to where I was 6 months ago...and making progress beyond that.
