Just read through CowPimp's basic routine and figured I would try this out. Started with lower

Squats: 275x3/285x3/285x3/295x3/295x3/305x3/305x3/305x2 75sec RI (this one felt great)

SLDL: 155x9/175x8/175x8/165x10 60sec RI (hadn't done these in a while so I went a bit light)

tried lunges and it wasn't working, switched to leg curls for now.

lying leg curls: 110x10/120x8/120x8/115x9 60sec RI (these burned like hell)

through in some DB standing calve raises at the end

120x10/120x10/120x12 70sec RI (decent but could have done better)

I really enjoyed the workout and plan to stick with it for atleast 9-12 weeks. Kinda wondering where I should throw cardio and abs in at though?

busy day tomorrow, I may just have to do some sprints and abs at home. Have to go put a bid in on a house.

last meal of the evening

1 cup cottage cheese, 2 strawberrys 5g glutamine.

I was going to say on your sldl, compared to your squat you ought to be doing more weight, but since you knew you were going light then I guess I wont say anything. Good workout.

thanks for the reply,

yeah I definately will be upping the weight on the SLDL's, I was trying to be carefull since it had been a few months. I will tell you what though, my lowerback and hams are already sore this morning. On my way to the gym here in a bit for cardio and abs. I'm not sure how much i'll be able to do after yesterday's ass kicking.

Nice workout. Those RI look like they'd make the workout puke-worthy.

yeah man, It felt like I'd set em down and pick em back up in 5 seconds. I thought I was going to drop the bar or shit my pants on that last set of squats

Fuck yeah it does. Then again, he did 3-2 reps. Still though at that intensity, towards the end, all that shit adds up to a panting party!

They didn't bother you on SLDLs? I might give that RI a go tonight for leg night.

SLDL's were fine and actually that RI felt perfect for that exercise. If someone has a low grip strength I could see it being hard, but other than that it rocked. I'll be upping the weights for sure next week on these.

just got back from the gym, did cardio and abs.

cable crunches: 100x12/110x12/100x12/90x11 (felt great and my form seemed to be spot on today.)

floor leg raises: 10lb medicine ball 12/14/12/9 (these burned)

torso twist w/broom handle: 10/10/10/10 (these were lame, need to replace them)

life fitness elliptical: 30min w/2min warm up and 1min cool down. H/R 160, 392cals burned.

Went to the gym and did upper body today. Was a bit dissapointed in my chest workout though. Just seemed to die out right away.

DB overhead press: 70x3/70x3/65x3/65x3/65x3/65x3/65x3/60x3 75sec RI (this was tough but felt great)

wide grip weighted chins: bw+25x3/3/3/3/3,bw+15x3/3/3 75sec RI (didn't like the station I was using very much but it was a great workout)

BB flat bench: 185x10/195x8/185x10/175x9 60sec RI (felt almost burnt out the entire time through this exercise)

close grip cable rows: 180x10/180x10/190x8/180x9 60sec RI (think I will go for more weight on these)

preecher curls: 70x10/70x10/70x8 (just kinda through these in there, weren't bad though)
