*Cutting Notes*
This morning, I noticed as I was pulling my belt over to put the metal part in a notch that it went in a new notch. Very good stuff.

AWESOME BRO!!

Sounds to me like your going to the Arnold and gonna be leaving with some:


And if everything really plays out right maybe some:


Of course I'm sure you won't be angry if you have to settle for some:


HA HA!

wow... I have a pizza hangover.

Eating, pounding water... then going to work: Big Bench day again... i forget what i'm going for... i think 230x3 or so, close grip of course as always.

Wouldn't 230x3 be an addition of 5 pounds and a rep? That might be a bit ambitious.

i don't know... hadn't checked my training journal yet...

*goes in gym bag...*

going backwards, weekly:
210x5
225x2 (supposed to be 1)
205x3


Should i do 225x3 then? That just seemed a bit overly cautious i thought...

FYI, I just started reading Starting Strength. That book should be a prerequisite for anyone joining a gym, or purchasing weights. Proof of ownership should be required before admission. In the first 2 pages I learned more than I had ever previously been taught about squats.
I'm actually considering dumping my 5X5 & relearning with the book.

Yeah, you're right that 225x3 would be pretty conservative if 225x2 was two weeks ago. Just go by feel a bit depending on how your warmups feel; if things are going well, 230x3 would be reasonable.

WTF?!? now HiDn is plugging SS too, lol. ... i need to get that damn book, other expenses keep coming up though

Cool, thanks for double checking with me CS. I'm going in with the mentality of having 230 in the bag... so if I get buried by it... well that won't happen

time to put on the heavy metal and get ready
