A LOOK @ MY PROGRESSION SO FAR

Ok.. so my weight is definetly @ 180lbs now

As for the progression on some exercises:

Deadlift Started @ 220lbs | NOW @ 290lbs !!

Incline Bench @ 155lbs | NOW @ 180lbs (April 18th 2003)

Squat @ 215lbs | NOW @ 260lbs

BB curl (Preacher) @ 70lbs | NOW @ 90lbs on Standing Curl - My Partner is doing 90lbs on preacher and was @ 70lbs too




-----------
Now as you might have notice, i'm changing a couple of stuff...:
-I'm taking a Deadlift break

-I'm switching Incline Bench 5x5 for Incline DBs 2x8 AND placing Flat bench as 5x5

-Some other exercises too

------------

I'm still not taking any supplements and i'm cutting down on the food a bit... (1 protein + 1 carb)*6tims a day instead of (2 carbs + 1 protein)*6times also

I've been running first thing in the morning for the past two days and I LIKE IT !!! i'm sticking with it !

i'm also swimming on occasion...
