Damn, that's a good plan. I mean, every time something works for me, I decide to up and change what I was doing. You know, because results are the opposite of what I want.

You should try Westside, just as you think you're mastering a new exercise you absolutely must switch it out for a few weeks or until you start to make progress on something else. All the while you're inundated with enough volume on minor exercises to ensure that you never stop aching. Every aspiring bodybuilder should do a run at Westside.

I couldn't do the 3 sets of sit-ups due to the lack of time. I had classes after that. SO I ommited it.

Sadly, they are all too easily left for another week. If you skip core work then you should try to catch up with it. A stronger core can drive a lot of the other lifts in the right direction.

Your core let you down, man. Too many skipped situps.
