REST

I was suprised how tired my legs were after leg press. Then the 1 legged DB squats were much harder than I thought they would be. Started with 35lb DB's, and when I squatted on right side, I could feel that nagging hernia pulling. Thankfully my legs were too tired anyway, so I dropped to 25lb DB's, and there was no pulling with those weights. Still gave me rubber legs though

I am correct that GLP is 1 day on, 2 days off right? I've seen others with shorter rest, and 2 days rest seems right for me, and what I thought I read originally. But if I'm wrong, I'd like to correct it now.

That's the SUGGESTED starting frequency (1 on 1 off). It's the most aggressive, as I see it. If at all in doubt start 1 on 2 off.

Wherever you start you WILL need to insert extra rest days at some point. For as you lift heavier weights for more reps the stresses grow. Keeping doing that on any frequency schedule and you'll eventually meet Mr. Plateau.

Don't know about you, but I don't like that guy..

My legs are SO sore today!!! Kills me to climb our stairs!

There's some pride in that though- that's the good side.

Yeah, I miss the feeling.

Dr. Connelly's Progenex wipes it out completely. Almost like you never worked out lol!!

Uh, then I need some! They are still so sore, even to the touch!
Where do I get it?!

Felt pretty good going with 245lb max (used 235 last time). Next workout I think I can increase lbs on incline bench, & curls on EDT's.

Definitely stronger than I was at the beginning!

That's the idea

Congrats and let's keep it going!!

My legs were still a little sore from Monday's workout (crazy), so I thought I might not make some of the reps, but actually did pretty well. I'm real happy so far with strength gain, and plan to decrease the rest days next week.

EXCELLENT!

The key is inserting extra rest days. You nailed it..

Felt good today. Liking this program!

Good man. Looks like you nailed everything ?

Outstanding work. Leave you with a nice feeling, doesn't it? Like you know you've just taken another step toward a much, much bigger end game...

45 minutes elliptical today.

my shoulders/chest/arms feel like they are getting some muscle back, but I'm still fat, so I'm going to try to hit the cardio and do GLP as close to 1 on/ 1 off as I can. Between the GLP and cardio (and watching diet), hopefully I can lose some of this gut.

still taking:
KA
Protein powder (MassPro, ON, Dymatize)
vit d
alkaplex
flax oil every other day or so

I never did start the lipodrene with ephedra, so I could add that. Just wanted to take a run at this without the stims for the 1st time through.

Solid.

I think you'll find as the muscle comes on losing the fat is easier...
