....Hey everybody, I have been lurking for awhile and have learned alot from everybody on the boards, thanks. Looking for some feedback on a program I am starting Monday...I am 25 years old, weigh about 165 and am around 5'8''. I am looking to get down to 150 lbs w/out becoming a complete weakling. I am using the following powerlifting program Mon-Wed-Fri...it is off of a powerlifting site called "Mike's power page"...the 3 core lifts are done on a 14 week schedule decreasing volume, increasing intensity as the weeks go on:
Monday

....Additionally, I am doing a running program Tues/Thurs that will have me running 3-5 miles each of those days and I will swim on Sundays.
...Anybody have any criticisms/suggestions? Thanks in advance.
