Well, I don't think rest was an issue. I'm thinking it was probably my calorie intake for that day. I wake up late so I didn't get to eat breakfast. My lunch was only around 400 calories with a few carbs so I went in with a low calorie intake. It wasn't a bad workout though. The weights felt heavier...

Well Rob, I'm not sure what I should be expecting but the only thing I noticed in last night workout was that the weight felt a lot heavier than before. I went in there last night confident that I was going to be able to increase my reps, but after my first set, it was obvious that I wasn't going to...

So I had my 1st cruise upper body workout last night and it was going awesome until I got to the close grip bench press. I did them in the power rack but I wasn't able to get the 335lb off the support bars so I dropped it down to 315 and did a 10 second static hold. I didn't want to leave the gym fe...

Well yes and no. I've hit 315 a fews yrs back before I got a hernia deadlifting. It's been about 7 yrs since I've squatted anything over 185. So this is my PR since my hernia. I'm really looking forward to trying to hit 315 again.

Ok, just finished up my last GLP lower body workout last night and it felt pretty awesome. As I was finishing up my squats, I noticed someone was still using the hack squat machine, so I decided to chill and hit one more set of squats. GLP Workout #6 Lower body: 10x120 5x155 3x185 1x205 1x230 1x255 ...

Well guys, I just have to say that I'm truly impressed with the BP. I must admit that when I first started, I didn't think I would be able increase my 1 max rep by much especially without using any of the recommended supplements. Even when I had my last upper body workout, I had doubt on whether I'd...

Ya, the hernia did set me back some. I've haven't trained for strength since then cuz I was afraid of getting hurt again. I've just been training for hypertrophy but now I'm excited about getting my strength up again using the BP. So we are having a biggest loser contest here at work to see who can ...

I haven't missed a rep yet but I was very close. I'm not going to lie. I started wondering if I'll be ready to hit my new max on Monday. Try not to think about it much. Just pump yourself for your next lift. I've been visualizing myself lifting that weight with ease.

Nice squats. 225 is my goal and you're already able to do 2 reps. Awesome stuff. Thanks man. 225 is definitely achievable. My goal is to hit 315 again. Nice job man! You are ahead of me in the phases, so I am actually planning on following a bit of your GLP planning. You are helping me without even...

Yes Rob. I'm talking about after finishing cruise. I finish up my cruise phase on the 27th of Nov or so but I'm not going to take my week off till 2 weeks later. I'm just wondering how I should work out for those 2 wks before my week off. Yesterday's workout was pretty good except I started to get a...
