Good?? You did awesome! I think 405 would be easy for you, and should be pushing the 435-445 lbs. That 500 mark is a pretty high one, but the routine John has you on, I think it is a very realistic goal.
I've really been trying to work on my form with the squats. Not quite sure I have it quite right at times. I'm feeling it where I'm suppose to, so I have to be doing something right

Hell yes 500 is realistic... Skys the limit. As too form, just do what I did, I really had it lined up and feeling 100%.. totally pain free on the knee's. comfortable going down, staying down, and a easy push back up too.. It was weird, it felt so good. :grin:

Tuesday - Chest
Paused 2B Press 345 x 3 x 3 x 3 I needed help on the 3rd rep of the first set... basically I completely ****ed up leg drive on the entire first set... and on the final rep I came down to low on my chest, which gave me shoulder a bit of discomfort as I tried to dig it out and get it back in groove. Learning though, I got my form more in line and kept it in the groove for the remaining 2 sets... and thankfully they were clean, and painfree. Paused Floor Press 255 x 5 x 5 I'm a bit of dolt here.. I thought i loaded on 265 only to realize afterwards, I can't add to well. These were mildly uncomfortable on the shoulder as I lowered the weight to the floor.. but it wasn't a big deal.. pushing the weight was fairly comfortable. And that's it... I decided, I made it this without hurting myself, that I'd just stop here... and let my shoulders breath easy.. Usually it's the shoulder exercises that cause me more greef then anything anyways. Although as I learned today, falling out of my groove well benching can certainly lead to discomfort in a hurry. I might do something similar on friday... If you think it's a good idea John.. depends how my shoulder feels i guess.

I'm happy to report my arm/shoulder feels pretty good today.. By no means, perfect... but much better then the last few days.

where is the rest of that workout? That's like walking into the gym, picking up a set of dumbbells and curling it five times and going home.
Do you think those heavy weights are starting to get to you a little? You may need to take an extra day off here and there to recover now that you are lifting super-human type weights.

![]() okay probably.. but it's also a big form problem.. I'm still learning and little mistakes with heavy weights can really pull something out of wack quick. I've been hurt before and healed up. We'll get this straight.

Monday - Squats, and not much else.
![]() Box Squats. 335 x 5 335 x 5 I got them all, but they were much harder today.. and I just didn't feel the same.. I didn't have that solid feeling in the legs like last time. Paused Squats 365 x 4 365 x 5 I got off balance in the first set a bit, tired out and hung it up early... The second set, I got angry, and agressive, and gave er ****. I just got them. Now for the bad news... Something was just all wrong with me today... I was sweating bullets even during my rest periods.. my back has never been sorer and pumped.. I needed 10 minutes between sets, and It was still sore going into the next set, and even sorer afterwards. After my last set of squats.. I had to sit down for 30 minutes.. And It didnt' get any better at all.. And all this time, sweat just continued to pour out of me. Then I laid on the damn floor for another 15 minutes.. and I still could barely walk with back stiffness. Then finally I tried to do a set of ghr's.. and during the second rep, on of my hams completely cramped on me, and would not stop... Completely sucked.. Now I had both a pissed off back, and a disfunctional leg.. while the sweat continued to pour. I litterally baby stepped to the change room... sat down for another 30 minutes, somehow managed a shower.. and ****ed off. At least I got my squats in.

Tuesday - Chest
Paused 2B Press 350 x 3 x 2 x 2 Ug... still not right today.. Maybe I got a bit of flu, seems it's going around, and my girl friend was practically in tears with back pain, the same night I had a rough back at the gym on monday night? Coincidence? maybe.. maybe not. Paused Floor Press 265 x 5 x 4 Just not strong today... Grr blah.. blah.. GRR GRR. Front Raises Blue 2 x 10 (both hands at once) I let out some slack and took it a bit easy on these shoulder exercises.. My right front clavical(Sp) seems to be a bit of a issue. Side Raises Red 2 x 10 (one hand at a time) Again.. Took it easy. Pull-a-parts Red 2 x 20 Grip Work Skipped I wasn't happy with the workout.. and I have to admit it's been really hard to drag myself into the gym lately.. To much stuff going on in my life.. to much stress and it's beginning to put me in the dumper a bit. I need to chill my mind and just relax, and stop worrying and just keep livin. peace.

Arrgh..
Tonight was the night that I was suppose to be in the gym... But life is no cooperating.. Working late, running around picking stuff up, moving old **** out, etc... I didn't even get home from work till 8:30pm last night.. actual moving day is only 8 days away now, and this job tender closes next tuesday.. so this schedule won't be so ****ed up forever. To make up for it, I'll try and do some sort of back/chest routine tonight... Just to at least maintain until I can get back on a good ole regular schedule. Bear with me guys, I've been hard at it for a few years now.. and I'll be hard at it again. peace.

thanks guys.
Friday - Something is better then nothing.. (That's a lame title i know.) Deads 225 x 10 315 x 6 425 x 2 455 x 5 455 x 5 Seated rows 210 x 10 210 x 10 Bench 320 x 3 320 x 3 320 x 3 DB bench 120 x 4 100 x 8 100 x 7 That's it... I didn't go really heavy... just wanted to do something. SHoulder is feeling much better then it did, so at least in that respect the rest has helped. Saturday is moving day... I already know this friday will be a complete bust, cause I'll be taking half a day off and will be starting to move some things before the big move on saturday.
