btw: what are your stats...? in terms of your lifts and your physique...?

- Sentinel

6'0 185 at the moment. short legs long upper body. bf% is probably around 18%

personal records before starting this program:
squat: 225x5
bench press: 185x5
leg press: 650x5
row: 135x5

after this program i am thinking about cutting but i havent made up my mind yet. I started this summer at 172 and i am up to 185. gains have been all muscle with a slight drop in body fat.

started 5rm meso today. I'll post my lifts some other time... workout was fine, kinda boring, but that is how all the first workouts have been.... I'm going on vacation next week but my brother has a really nice gym at his apartment so i dont think i'll be missing any workouts.

just got back from my vacation.... this past week and a half i had to go through moving and then going on a busy vacation right in the middle of my hst cycle so i dont know if i should start up at the beginning of hte 5rm or start all over. any advice?

Next week increase all your cycle lifts by 5% and start over. That'll give you a 14 day decondition which is just right. If you were to do your 5 RM, you'll be lucky to make it through 2/3 before you hit a wall.

sounds good, i'll give it a go next week
