Hit the gym this morning and mentally I was prepared and looking forward to hitting it hard. Unfortunately I had not rested up well enough. I really felt good and slept well last night but my delts were still fatigued from all the kayaking I did. I probably could have taken another day to rest but I...

Today I completed my GLP#5 for squats. I had a pretty good workout and again able to complete all the sets and felt pretty good. I am finding that the weights are getting easier to get on and off the rack and are sitting comfortably across my traps. My form continues to improve and I am feeling more...

Thanks Rob. I looked at the link. Not to take away from the loading pattern in anyway but I have been having some difficulty with joint discomfort making the big jumps between sets one and two. My 50% starting weight was 115 and going to 135 lessened that jump. I experience no problems with the othe...

I completed GLP#5 for bench today. As I got into the lifting I felt like the weights were heavy but I completed all the reps. I considered doing more set and going heavier for 1 or 2 reps just to go higher but chose to stop with what was written in the program. I then completed PR zone 1 and then st...

Rob, Are you recommending I do my sled dragging on the same days as I lift? I generally do my bench day on mondays and drag on tuesdays then my squat day on thursday and drag on friday. Sorry Hank, I'm not going to be able to make the air show. I have really enjoyed the sled dragging days. With a li...

I had an excellent day of sled dragging. It really helped to push harder having a partner with me. I did not record everything this time but we did: Forward dragging for 100ft alternating with backward dragging for 100 ft x 3 increasing weight with each set. Squats into seated one arm row 50ft each ...

Update on the legs, They are still weak and I have had to go upstairs several times today. I will be sled dragging tomorrow morning and I have recruited a partner. It will be his first time with a sled. I have been playing with my calories this week. Basically trying to play with percentages. Eating...

Another good day in the gym. Lately I have been lacking motivation and struggling on leg days. I have been able to complete most days with the exception of last week but I have felt like I was just going through the motions. Today, I was feeling good and decided to take some thermogenics and green t...

Thanks for the encouragement. Prior to the BP, I was hesitant to try 195 on my own and now that feels easy. About 7 years ago I considered 225 my first set after warmups and repped 315. Since then I left the gym and gained about 50 lbs. Then 2 years ago I decided it was time to get back to work. I l...
