I can say this .. My chest hurts today, normally it doesn't

31/05/2013

30 min bike ride with sprints ( was in a heated convo with someone so I just kept riding, felt good anyways!)

Front squats( ass to grass)
135x5x5x5 ( warming up)
185x5
205x5
225x5x5 literally went as deep as I could go

Just a bunch of nasty calf work

I haven't been going balls deep lately on my workouts but they are intense and I'm eating very clean. Results are still there I'm looking lean and I feel really good . Not sure what's causing it but all in all I'm just full of energy and I can feel my metabolism is on fire whenever I have my oats I break out into a swear while at work for a good hour or two. !

Hello my name is tony. Hopefully im not oversteping any boundaries. I heard this is a very friendly and helpful site. I see you have the 5x5 thread here. I have a question if i may. I've been doing this routine for a few weeks now and love it but i had a dr appt the other day and he wants me to go not no carbs but low carbs for about 4 weeks, is it possible to continue this routine on a low carb diet or should i go to something else until i can get to eating carbs again. I'm thinking this is a mass building routine so any help would be appreciated.
