use it to monitor your depth :) too used to briefs?

However, out of personal experience *do not* be tempted to look to the side while squatting or DL'ing. It throws your neck out of wack and just keeps on going down to the PC and F*cks everything up.

Ask me how I know.... lol

I just go by the feel. I always look straight ahead. Not sure if briefs have anything to do with it , more a comfort zone that I have to break.

Oct 1st

Military Press ( 5,3,1+) 135x5 , 155x3 , 170x1+3 (4)
Standing Cable Rear Delts = 3x12 @ 50lbs
Dips = 12,15,15 @ BW
Chin Ups = 26 total ( 10,10,6 ) Didn't wait long enough for my third set ( maybe 30 seconds ) .

All in all it was a great workout . Afternoon workout due to night shift. Had a great sleep and feeling refreshed

good stuff dude...that was a fun program.

Oct 3rd

Deadlift : 5 x 345, 3 x 395, 1 x 440 ( plus 2 = 3 total reps )

I've never done sumo so I thought I would give it a shot. All warmups were done sumo then my working sets up to the last one of 395 then I had to switch to conventional. Sure seem a lot harder than covent , but I think if I keep at the sumo my numbers will climb as the ROM is shorter.

Rack pulls : 3x495 , 2x585 ( these have gotten weaker )

Back raises : holding a 35lb plate 3x12

Abs - Ax chops 2x15 @ 80 and hanging leg raises 2x8

Deads were done RAW.

nice work manzilla.
