Yep - with a lttle less stress on the knees.
Good job on the weight increase.

good timing - I'm going just over 300 by friday!
I was surprised to see my legs come back so fast.
I like the hack squat or the smith machine b/c of the control and not as many balance issues - will have to add those in to my workouts in the future - for now sticking to what I have.
all of my lifts are stedily growing nicely, but not bench.... grrr.
slowly but surely I guess.

Hit 295 on the squats......personal victory for me.
Nothing but up, up, up in weight and intensity.
**I don't know what I did, but my rib cage on my left side is a little more than just sore. I've got some real pain here.
WTF?
Went to a party Saturday night (first in a loooong time)
Everyone who hasn't seen me in a while were astounded.
Every single person there was like Jesus! what are you doing?
You're getting so big! etc.
Great to hear shit like that, I won't lie about it......

I posted this on the C&C board in response to HS and I thought I'd post it here too:
Well, we are on almost exactly the same workout because I do the hanging leg raises on my lifting days too. And the only cardio I do is 5 minutes or running to warm up.
The problem is, this program has so many heavy core exercises, that I feel my midsection is getting stronger but also getting bigger. My abs are stronger but stick out like I have a gut even though I'm at the same bodyfat. Which is why I'm going to experiment with ab routines on tues and thur. I want my midsection to stay small, much like Arnold in his prime. He had a sick taper. Huge upper body with trim small waist.
I figure I'm going to do about 15-25 minutes of ab work followed by 20 minutes of cardio. If my gains are hindered too much, I'll stop. I just want to be fully cut up when spring hits.
Also... Zebo. I know what you mean man. I heard that shit when I went to my 10 year class reunion this summer. It's better than drugs.

my workout partner is my height, 6'3", but he is 170 or something like that. he is making pretty good gains and once we started doing this workout he has been getting many comments.
I never leave my apartment, so it is hard to say if anyone would say anything about me. I feel small though.
just got back from the gym today. today sucked major balls. normally I have lunch and then around 1:45-2:15, somewhere in there head to the gym and then come back to work. but today they had me doing nothing all fucking day until right at 2pm and dumped a ton of shit on me that other people should have been doing, but they weren't. they know I can get it done fast - but it pisses the fuck out of me that they didn't do it sooner. I got it done by 3 something, but by the time we got over to the gym it was fucking busy. lots of assholes that don't put their weight away and cut in during sets.
I didn't have the energy I normally do, I don't know if it was b/c of stress or the timing from my last meal.
all I know is that today sucked ass. some lifts went up, but not nearly as impressive as last week.
these are the sort of weeks that make me want to get back on...

Fro - ab work on the off days is fine. Do bicycles, regular crunches and hanging leg raises. Do not use any exercise that will force you to use added resistance. Stay away from the declines right now as well.
Scrap - sounds like stress and missing timing of your last meal. You will have a good workout tomorrow.

I hear you....this weeks been tough, but I've stuck with it.
I'm up 11 pounds since starting. Sorry, but I am stoked!
Still I fucked up something in my side. Not sure if its a rib or cartilage or what.
295 again on squats.....Seated calves were insane. I kept putting plates on and on until I could only do five reps with really good form. And when I rest, I rest......collapse more like it. And eat like a convict!
Damn, I love results......

Zebo - I'm up 10 pounds. Wed will be 4 weeks.
I'm at 295 on squats too. I think I might just keep the weight there for a while to give my joints time to get stronger.
For calves, I've been doing seated on Mon and standing on Wed. 2 sets of 20 reps. Ouch. But my calves have FINALLY started growing.
Maybe you should go to the doctor about your side. It's probably nothing serious, but why suffer through the pain when all you might need is some physical therapy.

Zebo - what were you training on the day/preceding workout b-4 the pain??
Overtraining may begin to creep in. If so, increase carbs and protein slightly and rest more on rest days. Take a hot bath after training and get a rundown if possible.
