Other that it's lack of symmetry, it's a good program. Honestly though, I like the Waterbury program better.

I'm not a trader yet. But when I do start trading (in 24 days or less), it'll be for myself at first. If I'm decently profitable after 6 months, I'll start to accept clients.

Thanks, man! Feel free to take what you want.

If you had done 4x8 for each exercise, would you still think it was a lot of volume?

Yeah, I get it.

I should have said "a lot of sets."

I got it.

That's how I felt. Way too many sets of the same thing.

That level of volume is just sick! I bet even Goob would say fuck that.

TSP - Bench - Day 32: Like A Thai Hooker

I'm really getting bored of this routine. I made these supersets and trisets for real. That is, I did them with zero wait between exercises. That made them so much better.

I added 10 to my partials with no problem whatsoever.

I went for a PR on Squats (by 5 pounds), but I went down faster than a Thai hooker. But hey, I've basically been neglecting my legs for over a month. So I'm okay with that.

After I was done, I went for a short jog.

Thanks a lot, goob! I just realized that I've never done a true triset before. I like 'em!

My squats a 5 pounds off my PR, but like I said, that's no bad after neglecting my legs for over a month.

Thanks a lot for the support, JailHouse!

I think I have two more days left, then I'm going to take a few days off and test my PR.

Thanks, StanUk!

Feel free to try anything you see in my journal. If you want a real challenge, do my favorite: a dropset of squats. Just make sure to do them in a place where it's acceptable to fall to the floor do nothing for five minutes when you're done
