Thoughts on my routine?

sounds good to me

If anyone would like to see the routines I have done before this, I would be glad to post my last one too. It was a functional strength routine I used for rugby. It worked very well. I used it for 8 months before this one, and the gains never stopped coming.

Before that, all I ever did was the normal BB split.

I have finished the routine, and will be posting my new 1rm's in the squat, bench, and deadlift as I try them this week. Throughout the 8 weeks on the routine, I did make some minor changes, but everything was basically the same. I substituted in some glute-ham raises and pull-throughs, and thats about it.

Before starting this routine:
Sept. 19, 2002
Squat 415 lbs
Bench 270 lbs
Deadlift 405 lbs

Nov. 23, 2002
Deadlift- 450 lbs

Increase of 45 lbs in 8 weeks.

I was very pleased with this. I didnt think I would get anywhere near a 45 lb increase. I now think I could have gotten 455, but I wasn't ambitious enough, so I went with 450. I then attempted 475 and missed.

I will be squatting and benching later this week and will post those numbers then.
