Im trying. Ill where I want to be. I dont stress too much off the negative. Besides if he had actually read my log all the answers to the stuff he was talking about were in here.
But thanks man, much appreciated.

Gotcha. Just tying to understand were he's coming from before I make an opinion.

I actually didn't like his advice. It seemed like his personal regurgitation of someone else (westside), rather than specific advice based on information provided in the log.

Why? One word - insecure.

Oh, his "advice" was horrible for what Im doing. He read just enough of different posts to have something negative to say. If he had read the whole thing it wouldve answered everything he put out there. Then in the end he threw out some BS when he was trying to make amends. And it was definetly copied and pasted. It was way above his grade school level education.
I have been crying ever since that homo talked shit in the pharmacist thread about me, I tossed up a few pics.... and silence from Mrbitchass corner. Fuck that dude jay. Hardest work he does is yanking to Jared Fogel vision.

Today's Workout:
Volumous Recovery Day aka Aint No Way Around It
One of the main reasons I wanted to switch my workout styles was to get on a program. Programs are easy because in the sense that you dont have to overthink it. Just do what it says. What kind of idiot cant just do what the program says?....
So what had happened was...
Basically today is Active recovery day. 50 - 70 % max at low volume. But because of work I kinda did that monday except I did 50-70 at high volume. So today naturally I did 80-90% at low volume.
Squats
Warmup
135 x 3
185 x 2
225 x 1
275 5 x 3

Tricep Pushdown 21's (kind of like a reverse bicep 21)
Cable Machine
50 lbs, 4 sets
Calf Extensions
50 reps
Weighted Incline Situps
35lbs x 50
Thats that. I realize my log is pretty boring so far. Not much new. Not setting PRs all the time. No titties. But if you stick around there will be punch... and cookies!

Busy as hell. Its always something out here.
Funny story, I hooked up with a chick whos from here, but had moved to America and came back and is completely Americanized. So basically just an asian american.
And there are A LOT of American chicks out here who are teaching english. Somehow they all keep finding me. Theyre very appreciative for some "home cooking"
I did promise @flexx89 I would get some pics up in the girls thread soon.

Today's Workout:
5RM aka Drop the World
Woke up this morning feeling great. Slept good. Had a good breakfast. Had an easy pin. When I went to the gym I walked in and some guy I dont know was using the only squat rack. He saw me, walks right up and tells me he has one set and he's done..."I never even said anything to him".
Note - from now on during my "max" day im starting 5 lbs higher than I ended last week.
Squats
Warmups
135 x 3
225 x 2
285 x 5 - struggled a little, but got it
290 x 5 - was actually easier than 285. I think I wasnt warmed up yet.
295 x 4.25 - almost had it
315 x 1 - got it...barely
Flat Bench
Warmup
185 x 3
225 x 2
265 x 1
280 x 5
285 x 4 - I think I couldve got the last one but I bailed too early. Didnt push myself enough
325 x 1 - yep
DL
Warmup
225 X 2
275 X 1
300 x 5
305 x 5
310 x 5
365 x 1
375 x 1 - made it to my upper shins...
The program is definetly working. My 5RMs are higher than a lot of my 1RMs when I started.

I'm happy your getting stronger Jay but I have a few questions, which unfortunately are all rhetorical at this point, given that its been covered numerous times.
Why are you doing 1RM when the program calls for 5RM?
Why are you doing a sets of 5 so close to your 5RM work weight?
I have to say, for me personally, its getting a little frustrating reading your workouts when I see that you haven't applied the information you've been given.
Follow the program, Jay, its designed to make you steadily and progressively stronger over a continuous period of time, without too much thought involved - just do it!
Structure your warm ups based on the weight you're doing that day. If your 5RM for this squat session was 295, it should look something like this:
Bar - 2x10
135 - 2x5
185 - 1x5
225 - 1x2
275 - 1x1
295 - 1x5
Notice the difference in how I would warm up to that 5RM, compared to how you did? You don't have to do exactly what I laid out there but the major point being, you don't see 2 sets of 5 within 5 to 10lbs of the stated 5RM for that session.
Get focused Jay. Let the program work for you. I want to see improvement in your workout structure.
And speaking of improvement, how is your squat depth coming along? Have you made any progress getting deeper? If so, please explain.
