my chest and shoulders are sore as fuck today, my triceps are a little too. The wierd thing is my traps or lats arnt at all, the only part of my back that is really sore is my middle erectors. I swear I find it so hard to make my lats and traps do the work with one arm rows. I get more soreness out of going heavy and sloppy just because my arms and forearms take more of a beating. Im pretty sure the soreness in chest and shoulders and the soreness I had in my legs after squat day is because Im not used to this volume, and Iv never done so many sets of the big lifts before... I love it

I'm not letting you skate on this. I may be across the pond, but the BBMF is going to be on your back like a prison rapist.

lol I meant to post in here and say. Gym has been closed today because its bank holiday and Iv just been real tired this weekend, diet hasnt been great and on weekends I always loose my appetite but it has been OK. I can only workout in the morning on weekends because the gym is only open in the mornings and like I said I was really tired.

Dont get me wrong Im not missing workouts on purpose, theres nothing I hate more than taking a week off or missing workouts. But at least the extra rest may mean that my front delts and chest arnt so bad for military day, on saturday they hurt so bad I could barely lift my arms haha

Tomorrow is deadlifts and I will just see how I feel to see if I need another rest day before I do military. I could lift 3 days in a row this week and catch back up to were I want to be but Ill have to see how I feel.

Does it matter if I do my assistance exercises inbetween the light sets of 5x10 on some of my workouts?

that looks like a hell of a good job on deadlifts to me. Have you switched to an over/under grip yet or are you still pulling with double over?
