I just weighed in at 198.2 pounds... I think my bladder can prob hold like 5 pounds before I have to urinate because at one point last night I weighed 203.6 then a hour later I weighed 201.0.

Happens to me too, I dropped 7lbs from being on the toilet before lol

What is the best way for me to take the Raw MCC?
From my last workout, do you think that I will be able to make the jumps to repping my duces next week? (5reps)

I take mine post workout with my protein. That's a good way to start. Think of it as replenishing what you just used.

Excellent progress this week. I'm not sure about the deuces. If the triple feels easy next week, instead of going heavier for a deuce, load up the 8 rep set higher than it should and try to knock that out. The reason i recommend this is purely out of fear of injury. You're progressing fast and loading up too much weight could cost you weeks of recovery if something happens.

Keep the whole picture in mind. Think about where you want to be 4 weeks from now instead of jumping up too quickly in 1 week. 10 lbs a week is a big jump. Patience my friend

You're doing great btw.

I don't think I ever would have thought that I would have to worry about taking it slow, haha, but yah I can understand, I def don't want an injury, I jumped atleast 20 pounds in every lift this past week putting me 3 weeks ahead in weight, but as fun as it is to increase my maxes, I have to remember that growth is what I'm after.

Thanks guys.

Go ahead and take the time to read the entire page to let the concepts and instructions sink in. The spreadsheet is at the very bottom.

Are you trying to bulk or cut bro? Seems like a lot of carbs late at night if you're wanting to get those abs showings.

Edit to say...I think I'm going to start this program. I've been lazy and haven't really been doing the main compound exercises I need to be doing specifically squats and deads. One question so I don't hijack your thread lol, before I get started, generally what is the preffered method to find out my 1 rep max? I will have more questions later but I will either start my own thread or message Onebreath lol. Thanks guys.

In the spreadsheet it says under 12 reps, I would do a weight you know you can do like 3 times atleast and rep it, but a weight you don't think you can get more than 8 times.
Also Right now I'm bulking, I won't be cutting until mid summer.
