I have no power at my house right now, so im updating my log at the library.

Joel's program basically calls for 4 days of lifting in a row followed by an optional off day. During the first 4 week phase, it alternates heavy wave set days with higher rep (10-12) days, with two "main" exercises, and then on rep days you superset the main movement with another similar exercise on the last 3 sets.

Somehow I went on vacation and then came back and weighed 3lbs less. I played alot of golf and didn't eat a whole lot of food during the first part of the day, but I did eat and drink quite a bit at night...oh well, im starting off real light it looks like (and weak).

-I am really weak here, im sure my strength will come around with a few weeks of food and heavy lifting. I haven't really done barbell bench in a long time, probably a couple months. Same with deadlifting, so I expect to be pretty weak there as well.
