good idea tony.

Workout D4
So I already feel me getting used to the programs and making slower gains. Good thing it's about time to change.

Pullups
BW +20x6 (+7.5)
BW +45x1 (+5)
BW +20x6 (+7.5)
BW +50x1 (didn't quit get chin over bar...)
BW +5x10 (+2.5)
Military Press
90x6 (0) (I read the wrong date and so I didn't start with 95...)
125 fail 120 fail 115x1 (-5) gay...
100x6 (+5)
115x1 (+5)
85x10 (+5)

DB Row
60sx7 (+1 rep)
60sx7 (+1rep)

DB Bench
65sx6 (0)
65sx6 (+2.5s)

I hope I don't gay up Bench day.
I'll prob do 150 for first set of 6, and then go for 185 on the max and just let the rest go from there. I just want to hit 185 max at the end of Strength I and hopefully 195 by the end of Strength II

Workout A4 kind of

FULL squat

155x6 easy as hell
195x1 decent easy
165x6 easy
205x1 decently easy
165x10 moderate
155x8, lame

Yeah, I didn't go too high because I had no idea how much I could do, and I have extreme paranoia of breaking my knees (yes i know i'm not actually more likely to break my knees, but breaking mental paranoia is hard alright?)

anyway also for fun
bulg split squats
35s each handx5 for 2 sets

Replaced goodmornings with SLDL
115x8 OWW DAMMIT WTF?!
45x10

Lunges
25 each hand x8
for 3 sets

meh well, take it easy first workout ig uess

why did you replace GMs with SLDL?
And do you do SLDLs the "real way" with legs straight, or do you bend them?

I hear what you're saying. Time is always an issue. Exams etc.

Good luck!

Karky I googled SLDL and a youtube video came up. nc9892 - that you?

that's not me. Most people do SLDL with bent legs and pretty much like a romanian deadlift. Some say the difference is that with the SLDL you bend your legs and bend forward, and not pushing your hips back as much as with an RDL, IMO that would just be a variation of the RDL. SLDL (imo) = legs straight, not necessarily locked, but straight.

keep up the great work man!

yeah my legs were straight. I thought they had to be straight or it woudnl't be called straight leg deadlift.

i've never done good mornings, so i just did SLDL. similar right?

well the two exercises are pretty different, they hit many of the same muscles, but the difference in bar placement is huge.

Today was the dragonboat festival, I got one of my friends to enter this race an organization in my town was holding.

Long story short, we started the race, and after 15 seconds we were 100 meters ahead of everyone else, cuz we're buff. Little did I know, my friend doesn't know the difference between right and left, he paddles the wrong way, and we spend like a minute turning around and we lose.
