So how goes the workout? Are you dead yet? Keep me posted. I gotta watch out for my investments. I'm gonna be rich off your website after we "pump.... you up"!

Later,

My 1rm is 195 - higher than i thougt!
i shot for 185.

I did the first workout tonight - i'm keeping my other lifts, and just incorporating the new bench routine.

i do squats, bench, and rows on mon

deadlift, clean, clean and press on wed

and squat, bench and tri's on fri

alternating sets and reps

It was tough - that last rep burned - the first set was really easy - but it got harder.

i'm monitoring my weight too - i'm up to 185 from 180 in the past 2 weeks!

We'll see how it goes. This is just week one.

Be careful.... the workout is designed to rest the other parts of your body while really hammering the bench muscle groups (shoulders, chest, tris). Adding it to your regular workout may be a bit much.

I know you're eager, but take it easy. Rome wasn't built in a day!

Also, watch for joint pain in the shoulders, elbows and wrists. You're going to be throwing a lot of iron around and your tendons/ligaments might not be ready for it.

It's better to back off a little than not to be able to lift at all.

Keep me posted on your progress, and good luck!

Regards,

Negatives kicked my ass!

I did get some pain in my shoulder, but i think that was from laying on it and watching tv all day - a way of celebrating my last few days off.

When i went to bench it was fine. But those negatives are something else!
