Abs I should definately do, and that would be easy without equipment.

My workout

Push
Legs
Pull

Wouldnt SLDL's burn my back too much for my pull day? Thats a big reason why I switched to GHR, that and I wanna be able to do at least one of them bastards. What about good mornings? Wouldnt those also burn my back too much for my pull day?

The reason I do legs as my 2nd day is, I dont want my back burned for squats. Not having a power rack or spotter freaks me out, and I want all the muscle strength I can muster in case I get into trouble.

What ya think?

That is why it is always recommended to have legs & pull day at least 3 days apart. Just switch push and legs.

I felt kinda weird buying 10 bags of dextrose at my local health food store....... haha, but at least I got them som-b*tchs, no more green sh*t from all the gatorade. I was gonna take the day off, and do legs tomorrow, but seeing as how hammertech has raised the bar, and is making his way to the middleweights, I'm gonna have to workout today, even though my knees dont feel so good.

Side note..... I've had this strange pain in my throat for a couple weeks now. Its not a sore throat pain, it hurts when I swallow sometimes. I dont feel any lumps in my thyroid, but then again I dont really know what I'm look'n for....... I hope this goes away.


DFT - Loading - High Rep Day

ATG Squats, hmmm warming up here and both my knees are popping
225x14
245x10
265x6
225x10, good drive off my heals on that set. This is probably why my knees are hurting so much. I'm squatting too much on my toes.

* Thats all, I dont care, kiss my ass, I'll hit em again in 4 days.

GHR, assissted
226x10
226x10

Situps - Crunches
30, I'm not gonna kill my abs cuz I got back tomorrow, and I'm planning on doing pullups instead of bent rows, so I can deadlift. At least I did them........ Its a start. OH FVK.... sitting here typing this my left ab just curled up into a knot......wtf.......

As far as 400... been there and I think maybe done that. Spotter says I did it.

I think if you got 315x4 your max is probably higher than 335, i'd say you're pretty damn close to 350.

In my experience, if I hit a weight in the 3 to 4 rep range, I can usually add another 20lbs for one solid rep. My general rule of thumb is I lose 2 reps for every 10lb increase.

Diet has been poor. This will be my last high volume day, not so much because I'm getting burnt, more so because of my lack of calories. I've run into some unexpected concerns that required some immediate financial attention. On the plus side. I'm losing fat. My arms still hitt'n 19 to 19 1/8" while feeling flat, body weight 221. This is just the calm before the storm. My back feeling ok, so I'll try hitt'n some deads. Unfortunately all the weight I have only amounts to 410. I'm gonna try to rep 400. I'm not too sure how the hell I did 400 before, but sh*t if I've done it once, surely I can do it again.

Forgot to mention that I skipped legs yesterday. Working out twice a week allows a little slack, so no concerns here. In fact I'm glad I did, my knees needed the break, as well as my back.
