I tried leg press afterwards w/ very low weight (2 plates) and it killed . . . so I decided not to push it. I did stretch before hand and did not have any probs on my 1st 2 sets of squats. I'm not quite sure what I did. Maybe I twisted on the way up or something . . . either way bad Dave!

    Cool, I think I will add MP next time, thanks for the advice. Do you do that free standing w/ the barbell or in Smith machine?
    That is weird, well rest and ice and all of that other stuff. I do both free standing and smith, I just switch it out every week.

      I agree I've not had that happen before, rather disconcerting at first. I've been using ice off and on today and it already feels much better. I will continue to rest it as well. I don't think it's a big deal. Thanks again for the input.

        Ok, so I had my last day of trying out the new routine. I had a very good work out today. I had high energy all the way through.

        * = new lift

        Arms
        • *bench dips BW, BW+1plate, BW+2plates, BW+3plates, BW+4plates
        • *close grip bench (on smith machine) 135, 225, 245, 265
        • *BB curls 85, 105, 115, 125
        • *preacher curl 65, 75, 85, 95
        • incline hammer curl DB 40s, 45s, 50s
        • *skull crushers 65, 75, 85
        • push downs 110, 130, 140


        Abs - various stuffffff

        Thoughts and questions for next time
        • I think I might try dropsets of the bench dips next time . . . today I did these by myself . . . stacked the weights next to me and put them on then went for it . . . kinda akward but worth it I might need to enlist help to do dropsets though
        • What bar do you guys use for skull crushers? I tried narrow grip on the EZ curl bar today but it felt akward. Or should I switch this out for something else?
        • For close grip bench do you let your arms flair out to side or try to keep them in tight to your side?

          I switch betweent he EZ and regular BB for skull crushers, just depends on my mood.

          I keep my arms in tight to my side for glose grip.

            sounds good
            That was what I did for close grip . . . it just felt kind of weird as I am not used to it. I wanted to be sure I was doing it correctly
