DoyDoy: You're right, I never realized that. Looking through your journal though it is apparent that you are ahead of me in most of the exercises. That's okay, I guess I will just have to push a little harder to try and catch up . |

In general, aside from the deadlift, it was a weak workout. I was feeling shooting pains in my bad shoulder during the second set of pullups and coudln't finish them. I'm finally going to get some sleep this weekend which I know will help my workouts this upcoming week.

Boo-yah, finally broke out of the lull I fell into last week. I moved up in almost all of the exercises today and I if I didn't move up this week I'm confident I will move up next week. Those decline crunches are killer, I was lucky to bang out seven.

That's good. Just a little improvement each time you are able - then over time they add up to big improvements. :
Yeah those crunches on a decline are definitely tough - but they do make the abs much stronger. Just two years ago I couldn't do a single crunch lying on the floor. I kept at it and now they are much better. They will definitely get better for you. Then you get to start really adding the weight to them.

Not much to say today.. Busy with finals so I made this a quick workout and did leg curls instead of attempting SLDL for the first time. I'm happy with my progress on Squats, I think i'll only be able to go up 5lbs a week from this point on.

Improvement is improvement. Be it 10 lb or 5. Be it only a rep - or even more quality with the same weights and reps. As long as something is a little better each time - you are doing OK.

Nice on those PRs for the legs! I'll use catching up to you on the squats as a little bit of extra motivation to get myself going again on the squats!  |

How many of those squat sets were to failure? I'll bet you are able to keeping adding weight on those for a while to come. Just keep pushing and prioritize them in your leg workout and you be doing 2 plates for reps in no time! :

Mav: Honestly, none of those squat sets were to failure. The problem I have is I don't have a knowledgeable enough spotter to ensure my safety in the case of absolute failure. The next month, however, should be very productive for me as I'm going home from school for a month and my workout partner knows what he's doing. |

This workout is much too long. By the time I get to the final bicep sets I'm completely exhausted. I'm thinking about condensing the bicep portion of the workout, do any of you guys have any suggestions?
