BTW, Pity, that's a great idea, though.

it's not my idea :) some russian or...german....or bulgarian dude thought of it. :)

So what passing on knowledge is as important as deriving it.

Overall Impression:

Front Squat clusters were very tiring. I stopped after 3 sets and reduced the weight. Next week I have to do (5x1)x5. I will use 225 lbs again. On the whole I have still progressed greatly because last time I did this exercise (Phase 2 of Maximum Strength) I used 175 and 165 lbs.

I plan on doing an extra workout tomorrow morning. Tomorrow night I will be driving with some friends to Dallas to chill at my friend's house for the weekend. It's fall break and I need a break from Trinity. Sad news is that I have 4 exams and 1 presentation next week :( Good news is that I plan on watching Max Payne and Body of Lies this weekend - oh and I might even see Eagle Eye. Yes, movie buff here :D

I hope everyone is having a good week :)

I like this idea actually. I'm with Eric on this....Good idea.

I might even do this sometime in the future: do one cluster set between exercises. Time saving for sure. And quality will not reduce either.

nice looking workout man. are those sleeves or wraps on your knees? they help?

Your back is definately starting to widen out. Looking very strong my friend.

^^^ x2 on that. Great work man.

They're knee sleeves. I don't wear knee wraps ever.

I think they do help. But, I think I have been overdoing it on the knee sleeves sometimes. I need to make sure they don't become a mental handicap.

Thanks, dude! :)

Thanks for dropping by, Dave :)
