It's a good thing you like cardio. Otherwise, basic training will be just that much tougher. And flat tires suck especially if you can't patch the tire and you have to buy a brand new one to replace it. That is money that could have been used for my supplements.
Week 4 day 4 and 5
Yesterday...
hammer strength chest press - 55 on each side
low incline db press - 60
cable flys - 60 total
smith military press - 50 + bar = 95
cable laterals - 25
db shrugs - 95
ez barbell curl - 55
press down w/ bar - 65
db preacher curl - 25
1 arm press down - 30
reverse curls - 30
15 minutes of cardio
I didn't move up in weights on any of the exercises. The weights felt heavier on most of the exercises. I think it was related to stress from work and other crap (like finding out I will have to spend a good chunk of money to get some car repairs).
Today...
30 mins of cardio on the treadmill
It felt a little tougher than usual but that was probably because I increased the speed. I noticed that my right calf is noticeably bigger than my left calf. I guess that will eventually balance out in time?

Re: Week 4 day 4 and 5
yes, the best way for muscle to balance out is a bit of extra gradual stretching for the muscle that is lagging. Do not work out out extra only stretch in say 25% then the other, it will catch up on its own.
i am reading you post I say take 4-6 days off, you have been at it for a bit, and since we extended each phase do to my time off take a needed break, do not worry you wont lose a bit.
Continue taking creatine once daily but not the other supps on your days off

Week 5 day 1
cardio completed - around 27 minutes at 6.3mph and 3 minutes at 7mph
I took the past 4 days off and did cardio today. I felt winded a bit sooner than usual but I was able to finish strong. I'm feeling better than a few days ago and I think I'm ready to hit the weights hard again.
During the past few days, my diet was sub par. I cheated a bit more than I should have. I don't know why but I was craving sweets like some kind of fiend and ended up having 3-5 cookies the past 3 days.

Week 5 day 2
Back day
Pull downs - 110
Hammer strength 1 arm rows - 105
db laterals - 25
T-bar rows - 100 (I couldn't use the barbell because 3 other guys were at the power rack using it and I didn't want to wait for them to finish.)
bent over db flys - 20
15 minutes of cardio
Today was an ok workout. I started using dermacrine, CLA, and phyto for the first time today. I used them after my workout. I'm anxious to see what kind of benefits there will be. I'm hoping they have a synergystic effect with all the other supps (lipoflame, amp02, creatine, protein powder, xtend, and etc.) I'm taking.

Week 5 day 3
Legs and abs
leg press: 460
high rep calf raises: 60
squat: 190 + bar = 235
heavier calf raises: 110
hamstring curls: 65
leg extensions: 95
stiff leg deadlifts: 155
abs completed - obliques and crunches felt better than usual
I tweaked my knee a bit while squating but aside from that, it was a good workout.
