I train in a garage. I want a power rack but can't afford it right now. I have plenty of steel and could probably make one if I had some dimensions.

I was just thinking you could get some thick matting in case you needed to dump the weights.

Thanks BTB, I will do that so that I don't tear shit up.

James, you could also do all of your chest workout with DBs.... that way if you get close to failure you just dump them off to each side... thats what i do when i cant get a spotter. give it hell man!!

looking good.

i do agree with grim that simple is often better. Im not sure what your lifts are like, but if your fairly weak (AS I AM), its good to work on strength and drop down the volume.

^ That's probably the best idea.

Today I was a little sore from yesterday. But as I worked out my soreness seemed to subside a little and I felt better.

Today I worked on Legs and Neck.

Shrugs: 65x15x1
90x10x1
100x8x2

Upright rows: 55x10x1
60x8x1
65x6x2

Seated Calve Raise: 140x10x4

Goodmornings: 65x6x4 safe

Deadlifts: 120x1x1
130x1x1
135x5x4 safe

Squats: 140x4x6 safe

This first week I am trying to get a feel of the best weight to start with and build on. I have never really had a plan before. I usually just stacked weight on and never really tried for form.

Anything involving good mornings, squats and deadlifts will be growth-inducing. Keep hitting it hard!
