Ahh, the old AS acusation argument.
It always seems that when I see somebody post a routine, inevitably somebody comes along and says "Yeah, its a great routine, but (insert name) uses AS" , which I am guessing is supposed to invalidate the entire routine.
Its like the whole Nazi accusation in debates, it is always brought up and it is still a logical fallacy.
I go based on how my muscles feel. Yesterday I did Deadlifts, only 225, when my Max is 309. Did 8 working sets of 1. Speed lifts I must add, and only rested about 20 seconds. I don't wear a watch, nor do I time the seconds. I go on how I feel, 20 seconds seems about right, though It might be 30 or even 40 seconds that I am resting. I don't want to hurt myself either, and I do thank you for your concern. It feels pretty good knowing that there are people out there looking out for others, even if it does invoke a childish bit of anger in me. I appologize.
