Thanks Sven!!!
I am going to be doing 3 squat sessions per week. This program will definitely get me bigger and stronger…damn…wish I had a magical TV remote and I can fast forward to Wednesday Morning.

Thank you Boilerman.
I would say holding the weight on your back for longer is harder. Definitely becomes one hell of a mental game as well.

Love the enthusiasm Tim.
Go lighter. You’re going to add 90lbs to your starting weight by going 5lbs per workout. If 315 is burying you NOW, even if you make it tomorrow, you’ll have VERY little room to grow.

Thank you Pwn, that is definitely the smartest thing to do. I’ll use 265 lbs the next session.

Sounds like your SI joint is out of place. I had the same pain you describe after failing on deadlift years ago. Thought it was my hamstring. Once I realized it was my SI joint it started feeling better and it healed rather quickly. Do side bend stretches (gently). Sometimes you can hear it pop back into place, if its out laterally. If the SI joint is out of place forward or backward, the side bends wont help. I have used a speed bag to push it back in place. You can use any inflated ball that is about the size of your abs. Stand up and face a sturdy doorway. Put the ball right at your belly button. Flex your abs as hard as you can and push the ball into the doorway by swaying your body toward the doorway. Hold your flexed abs the entire time. Doing this pushes the sacrum back toward the spine while the pelvis is moving toward the doorway.

I can only describe the squats as being doable. Those deep breathes make the whole set suck. After rep ten things get rather interesting.
@pb2016 Thanks for the write up dude! I will definitely look into that because that area has been a bit aggravated yesterday. Strangely enough today, I didn’t really feel stiff after waking up nor did I really feel any pain while training today but I might feel it tomorrow.

Crushed it dude! Given any thought to doing behind the neck presses instead of strict presses? I dig them. Excited to watch you grow.
How much longer are you a teen named Tim vs a man named Tim? Should be coming up soon yeah?

Thanks Pwn!! I am excited to see how I will grow myself. Seriously, I really believe in this program and it will make me bigger and stronger. About, the behind the neck presses I have given some thought to doing that. I went with strict press just because I know how to do them and enjoy doing them.
I will be a man named Tim (20 yrs old) next September.

For BtN presses, I find it helpful to start with the bar in front, like a strict press, press it up over the head, then bring it down BEHIND the head and start the set from there. Trying to start the set from behind the head can be a little tough on shoulders. For ROM, it doesn’t need to go further than the ears. It’s a great movement.

I’ll take your word for it, I’ll give em a go on Friday. Do you think it’s a dumb idea to do both movements?
It’s a redundant idea. You could include both movements in the program by doing strict press on one day and BtN on another. When I ran the program, on one day I’d do dips and rows and on another day I did strict press and chins. But it looked like you were running the entire program as written except for BtN pressing, so I figure I’d ask the quesiton. Since you’re already benching, you’re hammering that front delt pretty good, and strict press doubles up on that, while BtN pressing recruits a bit more of the middle and rear delt.

Woohoo got my 36 lbs of chub mackerel I ordered. The 2 mile walk from the university mailroom sucked big fishy balls but I rewarded myself by eating the fish. Can confirm this fish taste good!

I’m not really sure what the book meant by build up on the milk drinking. Was it just to get used to doing it and then drink the gallon? Or am I supposed to start drinking a gallon if I find my lifts getting stagnant? Two quarts is super easy to do. Please help me with this, glad I’m asking while early in the program.
How are your guts doing?
Amazing! I haven’t had any problems at all. No diarrhea or anything just massive and super long logs but that’s normal.
Sounds like you are ready to drink more
