I feel that. The bars at my gym are the same way. I didn't progress in my SLDLs this session because I lost my grip too. Damned cheapo bars.
Interesting training...looks a little familiar FunkMaster P....hope you're having fun w/ that...I'd die 
Updates:
15 weeks out
Took my weekly measurments today. Looking ver lean this am with good cuts.
waist (at navel)- 32" (down another 1/4")
Bicep- 16.75" (hasn't changed since I started my diet
)
quad (at thickest part)- 25" (down about one inch since I started
)
BW- sitting around 185 (only towards the end of the week the day before I need to carb up)-188lbs and 190lbs after carb up. (started diet 5 weeks ago at 190-192lbs)

I am happy with my progress so far. Last week my BF% clipped at 11% and that was 16 weeks out. So I plan to be down around 10% very soon and then into single digits come week 10 or so. Seeing my waist go doen consistely week to week is great, especially since my BW has stayed pretty close to the same since I started my diet. Dieting for 5 weeks and only lost about 2-3lbs. I am happ that my arms have stayed at the same measurment also. The quad thing kind of sucks. There are a few reason for this that I can speculate on. One is that I probably lost some fat as I carry a bit on my legs so that is good. I may have lost a bit of size and the reason for that is my current training program has me training with about 40+ set (give or take)on legs (broken into twice a week training days.). This may be a bit much given my profession (personal training. being on my feet training anywhere from 7-10 clients per day and an extra 3-6 on both sat and sunday) and given the fact tha I live in NYC I walk everywhere!! So I am always on my feet. My strenght hasn't changed, in fact I feel even stronger so that is cool. After this program ends next week I am going to lower the volume of leg workouts and raise the intensity some to tryand get some size back. my legs are pretty quick responders so we shall see what happens. I mean, 25" at 5'5" is still not bad at all. LOL, the worst part about the cold in NYC is that my legs rubbed together and then I start to sweat a bit and the cold air makes that sweat freeze so I know have this damn diaper rash that is killing me!!

That's great new Patrick, looks like your progressing very well!
Your training does look VERY familiar. As in very familiar.
Thunder said:
yes, lol....very familiar indeed. I have always trained using timed rest intervals and usually under 60sec. When I saw the thing you were doing with the progressive rest intervals I just had to give it a shot. It is kiling me....lol
oh, and welcome to IM.
Great measurements, and your STILL 15 weeks out? Man, your gonna be ripped to the bone!!! Your gonna have pics right? 
Archangel said:Great measurements, and your STILL 15 weeks out? Man, your gonna be ripped to the bone!!! Your gonna have pics right?
yeah, I should have pics. I hope I am ripped to the bone....lol.
I hate dieting. I am damn hungry. Still eating 3500cals.
Anyway, for those that follow my journal will notice that most of my training for the past year had centered around main compound lifts with heavier weight and then short rest interval work (30sec Rest per set) in the same workout. If you remeber when I started this program I said that I had taken the idea of progressing the RI by 5sec weekly from another person that I read was doing this. That person was Thunder that posted a few posts up (don't know if he got the idea from somewhere else). He is a really smart guy so we should be pretty psyched to have him here to learn from.

Thanks!
The progressive rest intervals are indeed nasty. On my recent lower body days I was doing 6x3 for full squats, sumo deadlifts and calves and THEN had to go do that nasty density work.
Front squatting with 15 second rest intervals is one of the hardest things Ive ever done.
Thunder said:
yeah, this week i will front squat on 10sec RI.
After this week I am going back to my upper/lower training, lower volume higher intensity for a bit before I throw this routine in again.

Ahh, how ironic. Same here.
It's time for me to move more into direct strength training given I'm still dieting.
Thunder said:
how was your trip to sweeden? Eat any pizza?
yeah, i would much rather strength train than do a traditional BB'er split. I find that to boring. I also like total body training. After this contest I will go back to training total body for awhile then maybe some west-side if my knee holds up and my elbow can ever handle doing heavy skullcrushers again.
BritChick said:That's cool!
yeah it is pretty cool....lol, when I first read some of his workouts awhile back I was thinking "hmm, this guy trains almost just like me??" then I saw him do the RI thing so I had to give it a go.
Swedish pizza is great! I always got shrimp on mine.

You know that is a possibility starting in march. Working full time and taking night/weekend classes is gonna wreak havoc on my gym schedule so a 4 day split would be welcome.
Plus i've been wanting to start a journal on here again for a while, just never get around to it. I need somewhere to write down all my shit.
