Haha - Thanks for the thoughts Rob. Perhaps I will give the squats another shot later this week.

Is 5x5 your recommended training style for Cruise then?

Great thoughts Rob. I was merely following what the GLP calculator suggested (at least I think that's what it said...I'll need to double-check EDIT: Just checked and that's what it suggests). No doubt though, I was still pretty jacked to hit four plates p/side on squat. That's been something I have ...

So, a couple days of updates... Upper GLP #4 (12/16/10) A pretty strong day overall. I bumped up the weight on my last set of Decline BP (to hit three plates) and as a result, I needed the slightest bit of help on my 2nd rep. Goes to show, the GLP weights are calculated just about perfectly in my ca...

This morning was Lower GLP #5. For some reason, this was an especially tiring session...Doesn't mean I didn't hit all my lifts and increase my EDT reps! I am certain this had to do with the fact that I had a little more "fun" this weekend than I planned since it was my birthday. Squat: 200...

BONUS DAY Decided I would start throwing in some bonus days where I felt good. Wanted to go to the gym today, but we are getting absolutely annihilated with snow (Twin Cities, MN - Approx. 1 foot so far). So I used some dumbells I have at home with my adjustable bench. EDT #1 Incline DB curls: 30x56...

OK great. ONE pice of advice. That 3rd day is fine IF you can recover from it. Suggest inserting extra rest days to compensate. They will ONLY benefit you! Thanks Rob, I will monitor things...I actually worked out today too (due to tomorrow being my birthday). Probably won't do it on such short res...
