Good stuff dude! Looks like our squats and leg presses are about the same I'm a little behind. I'll try to keep pace with you and hopefully push you a little too. I know what you mean about wanting to walk, i did my first 20 rep set of squats last thursday, still a bit sore today too

thanks, i've been really inconsistent with squats and have trouble gaining there. My best is 225x6 and that was almost a year ago. I'll make sure not to miss leg days, bench is my strongest so i'll be okay missing one workout every now and then.

I haven't done deadlifts in weeks! i've been anxious but will find a way to do them this week. May have to start back low though, which sucked becuase i was aiming for 315x5 the week after i pulled 315 with ease. That was like 5 weeks ago, lol.

push day
--------
bench:
135x10
155x5
185x5
205x6 -was planning on doing 2-3 sets of 205x6
215x5 - last rep didn't touch
185x5- wide grip

push press: first time doing these
95x5
115x5
135x2x5
first three sets felt hard, i realized how hard it is to do these WHILE looking at yourself in the mirror. The last set of 135 were easy since i looked up the whole time and didn't stare at myself. Mirrors aren't my friend.

upright rows:
50x5
70x2x8

dips:
bwx20
bwx14
-not as easy as before, i prefer dips over extension

decline situps:
bwx15
bwx10

ab pullover machine:
95x10

i thought about adding weight to them but i'm just going for high reps on the dips and any extensions, don't want to cause any joint problems.

hopefully my lifts will start to increase, i'm thinking of increasing my rep count to 6-8, just to change things up.

There was a guy in my gym deadlifting 405, 455, 495 for reps today, made me want to deadlift bad. I haven't had a good back day in weeks, i miss deads.

Plan on hitting them tomorrow. sets of 275 maybe, not sure, been 5 weeks i think since i last pulled

went to the gym today, but damn gym was close becuase of the weather. It isn't even that bad, just some ice and a 24 hour gym closes for the day. What the hell? Did the next best thing besides lifting, EATING

Might hit the treadmill for some light cardio tonight, took some pics and i look fat
