NOTES
-skipped history class and lifted weights at school on top of this. it was nothing major, but it didnt help this any.

----went up easier than my 210 max... bump coulda helped.
-good workout

im loving the buckeye progression... its nice to go up to 8 reps, even though its not with high weight, it should still help out hypertrophy. also i like doing a single at the top.

im interested to see how it goes for you.

if you start at your max on the chart, the 1st workout or two should be fairly easy, but it gets harder over time. the progression on the chart goes by 10 lbs, but obviously its better to go up by 8. i would start 5 lbs less than your max on the chart if i were you.

which chart are you looking at? the only one i see has it going up by 10lbs, not 5? i might be looking at the wrong one.

that's the same im looking at... what im saying is, i go/and you would probably want to go up by 5 instead... just go inbetween the two numbers.... unless of course you plan to deload a lot or something?

get what im saying or no? sorry i hate typing and im half-watching superbad.
