Seated Shoulder Press 95x5,5 115x5,5,5
Squat 145x3,3 165x3,3,3
Straight Leg Deadlift 125x20

No problems today. Shoulders feel strong. Still laying off the calf work because of my toe.

Bench Press 145x5,5 165x5,5,5
Biceps Curl 20x5,5 35x2,2,2
Deadlift 160x20
Standing Calf Raise 310x-

Ran into 'the perfect spotter' again this morning, since my training 'partner' didn't show up. He didn't even have to touch the bar, since I ran through all three sets of 165 without a problem.

I'm not sure if I should be laughing or crying at my biceps.

And.. I feel like I could easily be pulling 10-15 pounds higher on the deadlift, but I'll probably do the slow build upwards rather than jumping around.

Still laying off the calves because of my toe. Hopefully I'll be able to hit them this Friday.

Squat 145x5,5 165x5,5,5
Bent-Over Row 140x5,5 160x5,5,5
Dip 30x5,5 50x5,5,5
Shrug 55x5,5 75x5,5,5

I still hate shrugs.

Squat is still going up fine.

Dips are becoming a full upper-body, hissing-and-spitting all the way up event. Love 'em.

Dude, this rocks!!!!!

I'm looking for a new routine in about 3 weeks, I'm thinking either this one or some sort of powerlifter style routine...

Seated Shoulder Press 100x5,5 120x5,5,5
Squat 150x3,3 170x3,3,3
Straight Leg Deadlift 130x20

Shoulders still feeling strong, and the squat was pretty easy. Maybe it's the creatine?

Bench Press 150x5,5 170x5,3,3
Biceps Curl 20x5,5 35x2,2,2
Deadlift 170x20
Standing Calf Raise 310x-

Failed on the last two sets of the bench, though I got them up with a spotter. Just not counting the spotted reps. Hopefully I'll be able to push it by myself next weekend.

Hated on my biceps, then decided to bump 10 pounds over my poundage last week on the deadlift. Got it up, with a brief pause at rep 18. I have to watch my shoulders though, I wasn't pulling them up all the way at the top of the motion.

Scary considering I was doing 1RM deadlifts at 190 pounds less than 2 months ago, and almost injured both my knees trying to pull 225 around August 16th.

Squat 150x5,5 170x5,5,5
Bent-Over Row 145x5,5 165x5,5,5
Dip 35x5,5 55x5,5,5
Shrug 60x5,5 80x5,5,5

If I were gauging by soreness, I would say I'm well on my way to having the ass of a god.

Dips are getting tougher, and absolutely destroy my entire upper body. My Shoulders, pecs, and sternum ache after each set.

And I still hate shrugs. Harumph.

Here's a tip for a god-like ass, pause at the bottom of a squat for 3-5 secs before exploding up

ass to floor type squat though
