bump for corn to answer...

Yes u should place it in the begining of your workout. Its more complex then the others u listed.

Your squats and deadlifts should always come at the begining of your routine when you have the most energy so you can concentrate and focus on these two very important lifts.

IMO on Friday I would take out barbell curls and add weighted pullups or chins. I also noticed that you do a 1 set 20 rep deadlift and lower reps for squats I'm wondering if you have every tried a 1 set 20 rep squat.

i've never tried this program before, this exact program was suggested to me by cornholio...

 

[The Shadow]

Although I do not do squats firsta nymore - for this program - YES put them first

 

[jeremys]

one more question before i start today....is it squats before deads on day 1 and deads before bench on day 2?

 

[The Shadow]

On deads and squts day - do the lower reps first

 

[jeremys]

too bad i didnt catch that message before i left...here's how today went..

Deadlifts - warmups,185x20
squats - warmups, 225x3x5 sets
overhead press - warmups, 115x5x5 sets
seated calf raise thingy - 115x20x2 sets

today was shitty...i had barely anything for breakfast and i woke up only 2 hours before lifting. but the lighter weights will help me get used to the volume first i suppose

am i doing this right? is it supposed to be the same weight for all 5 sets?

 

[jeremys]

bump because i have absolutely nothing better to do
