lots of vids for today
me doing the widowmaker: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YfKJMfPDPk
me doing 245x5 for squats: http://s81.photobucket.com/albums/j2...rent=245x5.flv
my warm with 225 for 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Hj_wxI5Qm8
moving on to the workout: it was good. i am not happy im not progressing much on the heavy squats since my 5RM 4 months ago used to be 275, but im hitting PRs on widowmakers every time - inspite of having done them before at various intervals throughout my training.
so all in all PRs all around except heavy squats.

Although you ARE powerbuilding, your focus is on adding muscle mass to your legs. Don't worry about what you are currently squatting, but rather continued progression. You probably hit that heavy PR for squats with Mark Rippetoe's program. There are major differences between that program and Doggcrapp.

Additionally, your squatting depth is great for those widowmakers.
But, you're really making it hard on yourself with how much time you use with the bar on your back between reps. I used to pump out 10-12 reps before I had to start taking my rest between reps. It's hell on your lower back to keep the bar on you for over 3:30 seconds!
My advice is to try and pump out sets of 5 reps. By that I mean you want your legs to act as pistons banging out 5 deep reps with about a second of rest between reps.
Basically, do 5 perfect reps without standing up for more than a second or two. After 5 reps, take 2-3 deep breaths to clear your head, then proceed for 5 more. It's easier on the mind doing sets of 5 before earning a few seconds of reprieve to suck in some air.
Usually by 12-15 reps is when you start sucking wind standing up between every rep.
This method will allow you to go heavier and torch your legs instead of your back.

okie dokey captain.
will do sets of 5....actually, btw, i realized i should do sets of 5 after i hit 10 and by then i was fucked and half felt like throwing up and quitting...u see, i did the heavy squat set and this almost back-to-back and once i switched on the camera and got underneath the bar i was like "oh fuck....i didnt rest enough" but there was no turning back from there....

ok im gonna talk about several things here
1.) next week onwards im gonna be cruising for 2 weeks. this is what a cruise is:

A lotta guys do specialised routines like 6-week blasts and 10-day cruises but they're generally trained by DC or IH, I started with 8 weeks blast, two weeks cruise, then it went to 7 weeks, 2 weeks and has stayed around there since. If you feel like you gotta stop earlier, stop earlier, this program borders on overtraining if you don't eat and rest properly so it's best to stop before you burn out (as is sensible).

2.) i have figured out why my diet is lacking. im wasting 3$ a day on coffee. instead, i now use that to buy 2 baegels  in addition, i relize my bf must be aroung 15% so i need around 225 g of protein intake per day. right now, im getting in 250 min. but i think im dehydrated a bit. not good. also, my carb intake is REALLY low. im having multi-vit tablets so no issues there. but i now know what to do: increase carbs (hence the bagels)
3.) my weight has increased from 170 to 175 lbs. this means that over a period of 6 weeks with little cardio, ive managed to go from 165 lbs to 175 lbs. obviously all of this isnt pure muscle. but hey: im getting closer and closer to where i was at 180. the only drawn back to this whole thing is i have developed this slight paunch and i HATE it. i NEVER used to have a 6 pack, but i ALWAYS had a FLAT stomach. this extra paunch is pissing me off! but im gonna be increasing my cardio come next blast. so its all good
anyways, im gonna be putting up a very concise and accurate summary of my gains at the end of the week. to be honest, this is the first time i am sticking to a program for so damn long. mostly i quit @ 2 weeks but i have really impressed myself by WANTING on my own to stick to this program no matter what
thanks guys
