Default Sporting the nrol lifter #2 style

Alrighty right I guess I found this place after purchessing said book and I'm ready to get strong. First a little backround I first started my "real" weight lifting adventure when strongman and friend travis took me in and showed me the world of free wieghts. I put a couple of inches on every part of my body. It was fun but now I'm out and have been for 18 months and have probably only been active for 5 or 6 months sporaticaly. So not a lot of improvement but nearly sustained. The last 40 days however have been consistant and I decided to beef up my knowlege on beefing up so now I'm here. Alright since I've already been on the break in I'll just log in my last few completed I don't know if theres any guidelines.
*Bar weight always included*
A: Got snowed in had to workout at home. What a drag:
Sqauts: were replaced with jumping squats 40 sec. non-stop 2 sets. I learned this one from bruce lee it will damage your legs and it worked well too well.
Static lunge: 90 & 100 I could barely do 90 but I wanted to max and fail the 15 reps I didn't oh well.
rumbell one arm row: 30x2 full reps
push up: 15 i think is too little I did 25 then 55. I had sip of royal jelly right before the second set and it gave me surprising surge.
swiss ball situp: I think I did fail the second set and only did 18 I never did concentrate much on my abs in the past.
Next day,
B: Gym
Deadlift: 185x2 miss one rep on second set.
Step ups: 0, My legs weak I don't feel its best to do them 2 days in row. Now I have modify a way to put that back in the next day
Dumbell one arm shoulder press: 25 & 30 full reps
Close grip lat pull down: 120x2 fail on second set by 5 reps did a third set of 5 reps after 10 sec break.
Reverse crunch: fail second set by 3 crunches.
Work out C: I don't feel like breaking plus need to make up for the Step ups this is my C program if there ever was one I think its pretty close to alwyns standards.
Continental press from the ground 2/15 @90&100 faill by 6 on second set.
Wide arm lat raises: 15 raises in 2 sets.
Step ups: 135x2 full reps
Tricep duel arm kickbacks: 2/15 @ 20&25 only 10 reps on second set.
Side bends each arm: 2/15 @ 45 & 50 full reps.
Forearm wheel: 2x Its fun and I haven't done it in forever.

Today I'm resting so I'll probably post here every rest day for updates. Also I'm big on nutrition and supplements even though I don't drink any protein shakes any more. I have never taken creatine or any other muscle enhancers as well. If you were wondering about the Royal Jelly I took before the push ups. Royal jell is a special honey made for the queen bee. This is the reason its life span is 6 years while the regular honey eating honey bees live only a couple months. its loaded with vitaman B and used by the chinese for energy when fatigued by strenious activity. Thats the way it only works not like cocaine where you can just snort and fly you have to be tired and worn out. At leat in my experience.

I sopose there a some of you that might be like whoa dude don't like mess with the masterpiece that program is set like that for a reason. Well I understand it and I listen to my body first and foremost so I'll make changes as I see fit to support my bio-feedback. You don't even want to know what I did for the first week. Thats alright its close enough and I will be doing my very best to follow the program outside of the Break In Phase.
