I got my free bottle of DMZ 3.0 from IML for logging last night. My plan is to take one a day for the first two weeks, then bump it up to 2/day for a 5 week cycle. Since my last log, I have struggled with diet. It's just been hit and miss, but never good for more than a 4-5 days at a time...

Here is that review. Better late than never. Between christmas and the flu, I've been busy. <font color="#000000">

Quads Squats 165 lbs, x12, x8, x6, x6 Leg extensions @ 110 lbs x15, x14, x12, x11 couldn't fit anymore weight on my bench for leg extenstions. :P New rep scheme on squats was painful.;D I'll have to buy some more weights. My set is mix and match, if I get more of the thinner 25 pounders, I...

Thanks man! I will. I'm gonna give this new program a good go, before I try any more changes, but when I'm ready or if I'm having issues, I'd love to hit you up and mine your knowledge! Back Day. I'm ridiculously sore from this weekend. I haven't gotten this sore in a long time. The new rep...

Triceps. I missed out on these for two weeks, due to my elbow, so I'm not sure how stellar it will be today. It's definitely gonna be hard to find the right weights for the new rep scheme after that time off. Time to find out. Skull Crushers 45 lbs x13, x10, x6, x6 Close Grip Bench press @ 110...

Chest day. I'm going to try moving to the 8-12 rep range and I'm going to try ascending weight and descending reps. I have my reservations about my ability to keep in a normal rep range with ascending weight, but I'm going to give it a solid try. I'll be experimenting with initial weight, until...

I'll read up on them and see if they seem like a good fit for me. Thanks!

Hams and Calves.It was suggested to me over at the IML forums that my 5 day split was a little too much for my cns, so I'll be changing it up a little. I'll explain in more detail when I have time. I'm also going to try to move down to the 8-12 rep range; except for deads... gonna bring those up...

I'll give the above a shot for a while and see how it goes. I plan to try to bring the rep range down where possible, but for deads, I'll work up very slowly. If I add too much weight in one go, I'll definitely re-injure myself. Thanks for the advice!

I got very sick over the weekend. I missed work yesterday and I didn't workout on Sunday. I'm still not completely over it, but in good enough shape to train. Unfortunately, when I'm that sick I don't really stay on diet, so I ate crap the last couple of days. Here's to getting back on the...

P.S. Thanks for all the comments and suggestions. I'd like to know if you think higher weight lower reps is still the way to go? I had major issues at that rep range, but my body has changed a great deal since then and maybe I could benefit from it now? Thanks!

Sometimes, I don't put the workout here until the next day, it probably skews things. I only train 5 days a week. Tues/Wed/Fri/Sat/Sun. So 2 on 1 off, then 3 on, 1 off. As for reps; I moved them up to this range in response to a problem I have with the "wall of fatigue." When I started...

Back Day. I'll be doing the lower weight on deads and shrugs to save my elbow. Also I have one hell of a cold, so I expect a decrease in energy and strength. Deadlifts 150 lbs x18, x14, x13 at this lower weight, grip becomes an issue before I reach true muscle fatigue. sigh. Shrugs 150 lbs...

That is the truth!

Hams and Calves. Doing low weight on deads due to elbow injury. Also had terrible insomnia last night, so I expect low energy. Stiff Legged Dead Lifts 150 lbs x20, x18, x17, x16 Those all ended due to grip failure, but i didn't dare switch to an alternating grip on any of these. Leg curls 55...

Quad day. Sigh Squats 155 lbs, x14 @145 lbs x13 @130 lbs x10 @120 lbs x11 added 5 lbs to the first two sets, same reps overall! Of course I'm so tired I can barely stand and I'm seeing spots. ;P Sissy Squats x15, x13 one more. Leg extensions @ 90 lbs x16, x16 5 more lbs same reps! Another...

I agree with you. I didn't do arms, because all the exercises stress that tendon, but I'll be doing my other workouts this week. The only difference is I'll be doing much lower weight on deads, because it's hanging all that weight from my arm that caused the injury. I'll just do lots of reps...

Chest day. I feel like my upper chest development is lagging, so I'm changing things up a little. starting with inclines. pushups x42 (+3 on knees) Incline bench 100 lbs x14 @95 lbs x12 @90 lbs x10 BB Bench Press 100 lbs x11 @90 x9 @80 lbs x12 DB bench press 90 lbs (2x 45) x16, x12 up one...
