Day 5 (i think)

Well, lads, i'm looking down the barrel of my first Healthy Solid Meal today or tomorrow. Probably make it today. i'm afraid if i do it tomorrow (Sun.) we'll end up going for Indian, and i'll shove down a ton of ultra high fat curry. It hasn't been too bad; i'm getting used to the shake schedule. The workouts are tearing my outta-shape butt down, but it's nice to be back on a program. i think i need to do more of the NEPA though. i've been climbing on my off days a bit, so that definitely counts, but i do think some daily walking would seriously ramp this thang up. Here's yesterday's workout:

C G Bench:
5 x 5 x 135 (Nearly dropped the bar on me on the last rep)

Chin-ups:
1 x 5 x bw
3 x 5 x +35lbs.
2 x 4 x bw (fried; couldn't finish the sets clean)

Front Squats:
3 x 5 x 135
1 x 2ish x 135
Quit in pain: think i blew a butt spring. These things were super awkward for me.

Push press:
1 x 5 x 40 (way too light)
4 x 5 x 60 (These felt about right. Might could go up a hair next time.)

Stay strong lads. The V Challenge thing is coming up.

didn't look bad to me. The front squats do take some getting used to. You could just as easily do zercher squats which some people like better.

Personally I prefer front squats, but I've done plenty of both.

Good call on the salt. Thought about that yesterday when I was sweating to death in the garage.
