I also think I re-kindled my love affair with the superset.
Not that I want you to encourage you to cheat on your supersets, but maybe you should have a tryst with the dropsets.
Great workout!
I also am back after a week off, feels Good to HIT it again don't it!!! Anyway, Great return my Friend, I love rest/pause SS myself, LOL!!!
DOMS I would never! lol...yeah I'm gonna have to give the dropset a try for sure sometime, sounds tough for sure. thanks!
Archangel thanks man! it feels very good to be back after a week off, although the week off felt good too

Alright mate!
Good to have you back with us, but im sure you benefited from your week of rest!
Good job on the BW pullups, especially with the negatives in there! Pullups for me are really tough, so you can be pleased with that! You'll be adding weight to them soon enough, will you?

Sam it's good to be back, although I dunno how much I benefited. a few weeks back I didn't have a job so I was always rested up, but now that I have a job using weed eaters and limb cutters all day, just from the workout today I feel more tired than normal
1A)wide stance back squats 4 sets @ 135lbs/10,9,9,8
so I'll have to thank Fitgirl and Arch for the advice with the widestance, it helped me out A LOT! I felt it a lot more in around my groin then usual, but I dunno if that is normal?
2A)RDLs 4 sets @ 185lbs/7,7,7,7
not the best, but after my new squat form, my legs were shakin!
3A)calf press 4 sets @ 360lbs/15,14,12,12
4A)kneeling cable crunches 3 sets @ 145lbs/12PR,12,10
5A)cable chops 3 sets @ 75lbs/8,8,8 each side
12 mins on the bike then stretched.
only 12 minutes because 6 hours of using a whipper snipper must count for some kind of cardio right??
not very pleased with my workout, I find with the job I have and now going to the gym really drains the energy from me so my workout was sub-par in my opinion.
tried good mornings for the glutes but the bar kept sliding up and landing on my neck which was rather uncomfortable.

Mate - im not surprised you're so knackered. You've got a very physical job there and if the weather is hot, you'll dehydrate very quickly.
Are you losing any weight at all? I would recommend keeping a close track of your weight to make sure you're eating enough with all the extra exercise you have to do.
Im surprised you're having problems with the Good Mornings though, but i would recommend you to stick with them as they are a fantastic exercise IMO. Are you going too heavy perhaps? I always start with just the bar.
When i do them, i have the cusion on the bar, as it can be quite uncomfortable. Other than that, i keep my back poker straight and make sure my head doesn't drop below my hips. By focussing on a point on the mirror straight infront of you, it keeps your head up so that you're facing straight ahead instead of at the floor.
Apart from that, i exaggerate sticking my butt out at the start of the movement and i also bend my knees slightly to really hit the muscles nicely!
Hope any part of that helps you a little - as i said, they are a valuable part of my training and well worthwhile taking a little time over!

Nice weights on the calf press, man!
Sam yeah, I am eating enough. although my diet could be much better probably, but it's hard to do when you're home and you haven't had your mom's cooking all school year! lol. I'm definitely gonna work on a better diet when school comes around again though.
as for the good mornings, I did have a pad on the bar and no weights either.
I dunno but it just felt uncomfortable, although it felt good in the glutes the few reps I did do. I'll figure something out to make 'em work, thanks!
katt thanks! it was killer too because I was taking about 30 second RI with the calf press.

Specs?
400GB harddrive, Dual Core Processor 2.6GHz, 3GB RAM, 128MB NVidia graphics card, DVD/CD burner, 20" flat panel monitor, Windows Vista
the only thing is when I try to create a restore point it says there is not enough space available even though I have almost 400GB..there is a separate HD, like a backup one with about 10GB on it and there is only 4MB left on that one so maybe it means that one? I dunno.
do you know anyway to maybe change that, so the larger HD is the primary one because right now it doesn't seem to be.

Are you using the built-in Windows restore feature or a third-party program?
I'm using the built-in Windows restore program.
I tried to make a recovery CD but apparently I need the Windows Vista CD, which didn't come with it which is dumb.

A cursory search only turns of the obvious problem of not enough disk space.
Is your Windows installation up to date?
Is your Windows installation up to date?
I think I figured why...it just meant the backup HD was low in space, because I made a system recovery on it which took up a lot of space, so I just formatted it because I can really use it to recover my computer if my computer doesn't work...if that makes sense.
well, I am not on the internet with it yet so no it is probably not up to date.

I'm a little lost here. There is no way (except possibly hacking the registry) that you can change the restore location from the root of the C drive.
You must be referring to the windows back-up utility, right?

I just mean the restore point, like if something happens you can restore it to an earlier date when things were good. but I figured out what happened.
to make a recovery CD I think I need the actual Windows CD though.

What was the problem?
If you don't mind me asking, who did you buy your PC from?
lol the problem was me being computer illiterate. it was just warning me that the D: drive was low on memory, which is the backup drive. so I formatted it and it was solved. I had put something stupid on there last night that I realized wouldn't help, so I formatted it.
I bought it from Futureshop.

Can you ask them for the CD?
I'd probably have to buy it from them...I was thinking if I knew someone who had Windows Vista CD if they could make a recovery CD for me...but shhh

DOMS, Gaz thanks, I'll check around there.
so I am noticing that I am getting a bit more accustomed to working and then working out because I am not getting as tired as usual
1A) Alt. standing DB press 3 sets @ 30lb DBs/10,8,8
1B) stiff arm lat pulldowns 3 sets @ 100lbs/11,10,8
wow, the DB press was killer! alternating kicked my ass!
2A) pullups 3 sets @ BW/10,8,8
2B) DB shrugs 3 sets @ 75lb DBs/8,8,8
I did some pullups this week again because I thought they were kinda weak last time, and wanted to re-assure myself, lol.
3A) flat DB press 3 sets @ 55lbs/10,8,8
first time in a long time that I did these...wow they're a lot lower then last time!
4A) seated cable rows 2 sets @ 120lbs/10,9 - 1 set 2 125lbs/8
rowing is still decent.
I am not doing any cardio for the time being, mainly for the fact of my job giving me enough cardio workout, that and I weighed myself and I am down 5lbs! I dunno where that went.

I thought the workout wasn't the greatest, but yesterday and today my legs are telling me different!
Your legs can talk?
And you said it wasnt a good workout!?!?
Seriously though, looking good!
