Thanks.
Well, wifey & my friend each had one end of the bar (not touching 'til I signalled), & they said they made very little effort to help me finish the lift.
Well, honestly, I'm kinda cheating. Time is always a factor, for me, so I superset the Squat & D.B. Curls. Legs then bi's.
Then I superset the Bench & SLDL. Tri's & chest, then legs & back.
I keep from doing the same group on alternate exercises of a superset.

Without throwing you off here, you can always see if you can hit the Bench PR by taking out the burnout superset and just go from squat to bench for one round... so you can sav THAT energy (which is required from the db curls) and nail the weight i KNOW you can hit if you can more energy left in your arms. The go back to finish the regular workout as you would...
sorry i just took an ambien lol it's hard to type

Hmmmmmm. I've been thinking of trying that.
Actually, now is a good time to start stopping the supersets. I've been doing it to save time, & still progressing. But now that I'm starting to hit some walls, it would be a good idea to go to straight sets.
Thanks for pointing that out.
That's OK, my neo-citron with rum is kicking in. Sweats, big-time.

Yeah... There is some topical lotions you can apply to help with the inf. Also take an ibuprofen may help...

Yaaaay, sore throat is done. Still some lingering phlegm, but otherwise fine.
I have some Tylenol Arthritis. I think chocolate would work better, LOL.
The arthritis doesn't usually bother me to the extent that I need meds, but I'll stock some Ibu, in case this happens again. Could just be the cold snap we're going through.
Thanks

OK, I'm a little ticked about this. I order Starting Strength & Progressive Programming the other day. They gave me the price with shipping. Today I got home & there was a sticker on my door from UPS, saying they had a COD shipment for me. I called them up & they want another $42.00! Friggin brokerage fees & tax. These books better be Gold, 'cause they cost as much.

 

[SgtSlaughter]

daaamn! That's a heavy fee

 

[HiDnGoD]

daaamn! That's a heavy fee

I talked to BTT(wifey). She's a bookeeper. She says every transborder shipment has a Brokerage fee & it's usually $30 or more. If there is no fee, it's either hidden in the price, or absorbed by the sender, but it's there.

WEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeell, I got em. My Prac Prog & S.S.. Woo hoo.
Order was $63.00, Customs was $42. Oh well. I'm sure I'll get my money's worth.
