Well, haven't updated this for last week. I have a few problems. I noticed the next day that my lower back was sore but on Wednesday it went away. I typed in google lower back sore after squats and returned results were that I could be doing them incorrectly. I think I was using my lower back to move the weight not my quads. Then Wednesday, me and my friend (he doesn't lift weights) went to a different gym, I couldn't do deads with a BB so I used DB's to do them, nor could I do chin ups because couldn't find a chin up bar. So I video taped my squats on friday to see if I was doing them correctly, I think I am but I want a 100% answer, so I will be PMing some of you and send you the videos.

Alright, been too lazy to get my notebook out of my car lately. So here is the update. I haven't been doing so hot, I am losing motivation. I don't know why but just don't feel like lifting. So tonight I set myself some goals to reach and they are in my signature. Do you guys think those are realistic goals? Heres the update, note that some of them I moved the weight down.

Are you goals for a one rep max or a set of 5??

Either way do you have any idea what your one rep maxes on each are? I think this is a good thing to know or have an idea of.

A set of 5. No i don't have any idea of what my one rep maxes are? Do I just use a online one rep max calculator or try maxing my self out? I would say I am getting into the weights I left off before I started this program. Like bench, I was getting into 135. Squats I have passed because I just went to parallel because I was told it was bad for knees but now I know its good for the knees and I like doing the full squat anywho.

I did add an avatar, but its not any good, because I was just bored and told my brother to snap a pic of my back and it came out kinda decent, so i figured why not post it up.
