Jamie,
Thanks for stopping in! You are right except it seems that almost all of the 3.5 - 4 lbs went straight to my waist and lower back. LOL But no real problem, I will get rid of it on schedule!
Thanks again !

LOL.. The only thing I think I will have on my side is my experience. I know a lot more now than when I was a newbie. I dont think I will make newbie gains though.

Experience and muscle memory and you will be back on top in no time. It took me a long time to get where i am cos my muscle has a short memory.

You are truly Mr. Mopar

My first car was a Plymouth Satellite sedan with a lowly 318, two barrel carb. Surprisingly, it had quite a bit of power.

Posted this in the training forum also but thought I'd put it here too just in case.

I know these have probably been asked before but not by me , so there .

Getting ready to start a new training cycle Sunday. Have a few questions in re: P/RR/S.

What exercise(s) can i sub for Leg Press ? I train at home and no leg press machine. Also seated leg curl/lying leg curl hyprextended, what can i sub ?

If the db's I have aren't heavy enough do I do barbell version instead or a different exercise with db's.

I saw nothing mentioned about abs / calves. Where do they fit in ? Do you do them in a P/RR/S fashion?

I have the following equipment available to me:
Oly bar and plenty of weight
Adjustable benches w/ preacher curl/leg work attachment
Db's to 50 lbs and a set of 65's
Ez curl bar
Seated calf machine
dipping bars
Smith machine w/high&low cable/chin bar
Cage w/high cables

Thanks for the input !!
Gary

I haven't had ice cream in almost a year. I was proud of my willpower, since my kids eat ice cream on a daily basis. Alas, the recent allure of Mister Softee proved too great. I had a soft serve a couple of weeks ago, and have had three since! Damn guy drives by my house every night. Oh well. Summer will be over soon .

Im gonna post this here... since I dont care to get flamed by prrs junkies.

Why do you want to do this? You seem quite knowledgable, have you thought of creating your own routine again?
