Had a pretty good workout today, I didnt post everything I did because I did a lot of new exercises again today to get the form down so I could do them next week. All together today I did 27 sets. Did some trap work, bicep work, etc. Monday the fun begins.
Leg is sore today, very upset about this. I thought it was going to be better by now but its not. We will see how it is next week.

Post up everything if you don't mind.

To me it seems you want to work out just to work out, not to obtain optimum results.

No this is not the case, I just hired a personal trainer, he gave me a routine and I was working on my form for them.
I WOULD NEVER WORK OUT JUST TO WORK OUT.

The personal trainer is derek c. AKA beast from bodybuilding.com forums

You didn't answer the part about working out to obtain optimal results.

Or, phrased another way: you hired a personal trainer when you were getting free personal advice and routines from one of the best strength coaches in the country?

EDIT: I know you're (temporarily?) unable to squat, but that hardly seems sufficient on its own to warrant a long-term routine change.

You guys dont understand, I have been wanting to hire derek for a long time, he is a bodybuilder and I have been saving up to train under him for a while. I finally got the money so I payed him and he is now my trainer. Its what I have wanted for a while.
The people on this sight helped me so much and I appreciate it more then you will ever know. I will continue to post in here and asking for advice.

Thanks to everyone for all the help.

You just took a huge step backwards IMO.

Ok, you have the right to your opinion.
But we will see, The reason I am stopping marks routine is because I can not follow the nutrition he wants me to follow. There is no way that I could gain 2 to 3 lbs a week.
I know you guys are disapointed in me stopping marks routine, But I have talked to mark about this already, and he was fine with it. I told him I could not gain as much as he wanted me to, and he said the program would not work the way its supposed to unless I did. Im still in contact with him and he said If I ever need his help again he would be glad to help me.
So I can always go back to mark after my personal training is over.

Please dont be upset with my decision. Im still a newbie, and I have to learn from my mistakes. Thats the only way that I will get better at bodybuilding. Im sorry if you guys are upset with me for stopping marks routine, because I really appreciated everything you guys helped me with, TRUST ME I WILL BE TRAINING UNDER MARK again sometime in the future. This personal training is really going to help me I believe in one way or another.

Thanks guys
