nice log.
i dont know why you do military press on back day though
Thanks. Haha, I always thought military press was a back exercise, I never really put much thought into it. I guess it is more of a shoulder/tricep movement. I'm working a whole new routine now, so we'll see which day it ends up on.
Week 2 - Day 2I decided to scrap the squats because I don't think my knees can take 3 squat sessions a week, so I'm cutting it down to 2 until I get a little bit more conditioned.

PR!!!0x500 - got a little ahead of myself...I was feelin strong today lol
CurlsNotes: I took a sample pack of NaNoX9 and some beta alanine before I hit the gym today, so I had a pretty nice pump going before I even touched the weights. Started off with bench, it felt great. I won't be close to a PR on bench until the first week of march, but I'm really looking forward to 5x275. I think the 3 working sets on bench is really helping me out strength wise.
Now on to
Deadlift...Today was a great day, I
FINALLY got the 5th rep on 405 after a month of failures! After that I was all amped up, and decided to max out. At first I thought I should go for 455 which was completly realistic, but I was so sure that I couple pull it without any problem that I was like F*** IT, I'm goin for 500. So as I was loading the plates on, some guy in the gym yells out "OOO HE'S GOIN FOR 5 PIES!" then the ego kicked in.....I was getting so hyped up for the deadlift, then I went for it....
FAIL lol. Didn't even come close. I got it about 4-5 inches off the ground before I had to set it back down. Haha, O well, I'll get it next time. Gotta remember to check the ego at the door before I hurt myself lol. I don't plan on going for 500 again until April, so wish me luck!
Had to get back to work, so I didn't really have time to do anything else, but today's work out was still great!
