Happy New Year

I’ve been pretty lazy with logs in the past, unfortunetly when I went to find my progress for the year I was a bit short on information. So with 2011 about to begin, it seemed like a good idea!

The program I’m currently doing is Christian Thibaudeau’s ‘HP Mass’

Im currently on the 4th week, heres how the first 3 weeks looked:

This program calls for a higher frequency that I’m used to so I allowed for a 5-10kg space in my lifts, so each of my MTW’s are weights that I knew I could move with good form and speed.

How are you liking HP Mass so far? This is my second day today, and I’m excited for it.

Are your numbers in kilos?

I feel like a complete moron, I’ve managed to screw up all of the calculations from the very beginning.

It’s supposed to have looked like this:
0 / 114 / 124 / 134 / 144 / 154 / 144 / 149 / 154 / 144

Not this:
0 / 66 / 88 / 110 etc. which was what I had been doing because I’m a dickhead who cannot convert lb’s to kg’s.

So basically for 4 1/2 weeks I’ve been doing it wrong.
