That workout looked interesting when I read it. 8x3 squats, huh? You'll be a powerlifter before long.

I've never done anything like it before. That shit'll work you pretty good. It feels good to be back!

If you did 200 for 6 reps on an exercise, you put that in and it gives you the 1RM.

Now I'm starting to see those type of houses selling for as low at $500,000. I figure that in a year, they should be down in the 400s, and I'm going to buy one. w00t! |

It's the truth, man. If I can successfully complete the next two routines, I'll be stronger than I've ever been before. I'm walking normally again. That 10x3 @ 195 killed my legs and the dips destroyed my chest (especially my delt-pec tie-in). How's life treating you? |

It's something else entirely when others, and your rent, depend on your income. Fighting, almost drowning, and running from the police all add spice to life. |

But I was pretty worn out and used crappy form and *POP*, there went my rib. If you were in the room, you could have heard it. It was audible. |

But, based on percentages, I wasn't supposed to bring the numbers up, but I did anyway. It didn't feel right to leave the poundages where I did them last week.

Sure I am strong on one rep sets, and up to 3 reps I am ok, but high rep sets and high volume just maim me big time.
For example, today, I did back squats at 8x5 and by the 7th and 8th sets I wanted to just die. I would never have the energy or the drive to complete all the other stuff that you did AFTER your big 10 set stuff. |
