Good luck to the kid. What are chain saws? I hope it doesn't involve you braking your lower back. ;)

Good journal, lots of volume, lots of reps.

Couple questions though: If you're trainin for bodybuilding, why not include some side laterals? Adn why put shoulders (AM workout) before chest (PM workout) when your chest lags behind the rest of your upperbody?

Is 315 for 8 your warm up set for squats? Otherwise how can a 90 pound increase in weight bring you down only 2 reps?

You're a damn strong presser but your back needs to catch up. 12 reps on chins for a guy your size is pretty good though! 225 on military press is ELITE!!

You are exactly right...for the squats..225 is too light and it dosent get me ready for heavy weight. Thats why i call 315 the warm up but i guess in fact it is also a work set in the pyramid fashion...The pressing thing. I have always been a good presser because i have big triceps. And i have in listed the help of a guy whose back is out of this world to help me get my back in order. Thanks figgs and do me a favor and keep at it very seriously....you have a ton of potential and can be a bro if you stick to it seriously.
