Might need to place some guidelines on the abuse tolerated. Don't want it free for all.
Did you order anything from that site?
Must be awesome to be finally tracking some longer term consistency in your training.

MP, great work. I understand on wanting a training partner to spot me or yell, whichever is needed! Still, you've made some great gains in just a few months. Keep it up.

you still doing WS4SB?

Thanks
Deads are hopefully leading to a big PR, OH is moving slowly but it
is still progressing.
And not really doing WS4SB, kinda the same in that it has ME, RE, DE days, but thats similar to a lot of programs.
For Squats and deads I'm following a cycle using Prilepins Chart
which will hopefully lead to some nice PR's.
I have ordered Maximum Strength and impatiently waiting for it to get here and if I can fit it into my schedule will change to that program after this cycle ends.

Your about to get married Josh, you'll have to learn theres no guidelines when your wife wants to shout at you. Its in the fine print somewhere
I haven't ordered anything from that site yet, still saving my pennies
Consistency has always been my problem, it has to be the most important factor.

When do you train (time of day wise)?
You must have a good balance between home life, work, and training.

Started to train on Sunday morning, but couldnt get my right hip loose.
It started to get painful as I warmed up for deadlifts, so i stopped.
Anyway, have decide to take this week as a rest/de-load week.
I have just finished the first 3 weeks (of 6) of the Prelipen cycle, not sure if its the best time to have a rest but i'm sure it cant hurt, plus its going to be a busy week and with one training session missed and thursday a no go also, it seems like a good a time as any.

Weekdays I train at about 7:30 - 8:30 at night, the kids go to bed about 7-7:30ish, so its in the gym for an hour after that.
My Sunday workout is usually in the afternoon (4-4:30 ish), but depends on what the day has/ had instore. Its usually a bit rushed also.

I try to, during the week its busy trying to fit training in with everything and everyone else. But it means I have Friday nights, and the weekends free for my wife and kids with no interruptions.

Its gone from a de-load to a nothing week as I have caught a cold, probably from my kids and it has made me pretty fucking exhausted.
At least it happened this week when rest was intended, clearly the universe wanted to make sure I rested properly.
I'll be back into it on Sunday, squats were feeling really light (thats cause they are) and I am looking forward to some big PR's in the near future.

There is a reason why you get sick when you slow down but it escapes me at the moment. Dam that memory.

Monday 2nd June
DE Squat - no box
10 x 2 @ 55%

ME Deadlift 5 x 3 @ 75%
60kg x 5 - slight pain
80kg x 5 - no pain 
100 x 2
