my parents wont let me work out today because im sick, which gives me only like 2 days before vacation, which gives me like no chance to hit 405

anyway, it wouldnt matter much that i squatted 405 while i was still 16 because when im super strong, no one would care about what i was doing a few years back

since when i get back hitting 405 wont be difficult, i gotta figure out the quickes way to get to 455

ive had two recent workouts that nothing special happened in so i wont bother posting them

going on vacation tomorrow, coming back the fifth

first legitimate workout back since vacation over vacation i did what i could with equipment i had, so i was able to maintain some of the weakness i had before

so what im doing now is squats 5x5 80%, a deadlift program i found on the internet which is 2rm x2, -40 lb x6, -40 lb x8, -40 lb x10, add 20 lb when i can do the 2rm x3, then the back workout i posted a page or so ago, and the bench routine i posted above
