Ok...got back in the gym today and it felt awesome......
took the no xplode before and it continues to give me a good jolt.....
heres the stats:
Squat:
215x5
215x5
215x5
went great.....went as low as i could like everyone here said and i see that it does work great (tried it on warm up sets too to make sure i could do it)
Bench:
155x5
150x5
150x5
started with the 155 but the 5th rep was tough so i went down to 150 (still a 5lb increase from last workout) and banged out the last two sets.
Deadlift:
245x5
went great, but i do feel like the bar is gonna slip from my hands.....any advice?
5x20 power crunch @45lbs
workout went great overall......felt good to get backin there ....just some help with the dead grip problem would be awesome.

Did you buy Starting Strrength yet? You need it...
Nice workout. On the Deads the bar may slip. How are you gripping the bar? Double Overhand or Over/Under? Are you using chalk (helps a lot)? I use over/under personally and straps for my top set although I am trying to get away from straps. I use tons of chalk, but I use chalk when I squat as well. You will too after you read Starting Strength.
WTF is a Power Crunch? Just do crunches on the decline bench w/ it set on the higest incline for sets of 20. WHen you can do your body weight x20 for 3 sets add weight.

Starting strength is in the mail......im gripping it double overhand, guess i should try the over/under. No i havent been using chalk...noone in my gym uses it so im not sure if its allowed(most people use smiths machine and other machines....im one of the only few who do real stuff).
power crunch is like a thing where you lay down and put your feet in a thing up in the air and grab handles behind your head and crunch from laying to elbow on knees...with weight added.....i guess ill do the decline situps if they work better......thanks for the input

Just take the chalk in. I'm sure nobody would mind if you used it discretely and didn't make a mess.

something weird....since i started this routine as you can see my lifts have all gone up and ive gotten firmer (in only the 2 weeks ive done it) and stronger and all.....but on my stomach its all solid at the abs with like jiggley and soft fat ontop of it....enough to shake around like the truffle shuffle...lol....but its annoying....will it go away or what?(cant do cardio cause that will diminish results right?)
