oh, I gotcha......

you shouldn't be training to failure.

How did you perform those sets with the reps listed? To failure every time, on each set?

Also, the program was written for 3x's a week. Not to repeat on a 4th day, which through things off.

So, you took a good idea and you messed with it and now you are upset. If you don't follow directions properly, how can you get angry at mike456 for writing something that was sound to begin with? What he wrote was fine. You changed things up, so you didn't do what he wrote.

no it wasnt to failure every set. It was to failure on the last set.

Yeah i guess it is my fault for not following the rutine.. is there anyway i can change it to a 4 day split? thanks pfunk. ur such a big help

yea. change it like this:

upper
lower
off
upper
lower

stop training to failure too. Try and make steady progress over a certain amount of time. You need to teach your body to handle greater and greater loads.
