Thanks Mindpower,

I pretty much took 5-10lbs of most lifts, and lowered the reps, - I just took 3 weeks off lifting. This should make sure I can make some good progress over the next 6 weeks or so!

Anyway, I\'ve switched around the deadlift and power cleans.

I was doing Pull-ups, but I\'ve sold my chinup/dip thingo, so can\'t do those anymore - (thats why i modified the program).

As for triceps work, I don\'t think its necessary - never seemed to do anything for me, and all i can do it barbell/dumbbell extensions anyway - although I\'d like to try some rack lockouts or something next year when i join a gym.

Thanks guys,

Now for some stuff not related to training:

I formally graduated from high school last night(Monday night), graduation night was better than I expected it to be.

On friday I finally recieved my guitar amplifier(fuck yeah!), which i have been waiting patiently for 5 months since I ordered it... the dsl401

Well, its freaking awesome...

Simon C · 10-22-2007, 10:39 PM
