I could use some ideas for the GLP coming up. I have this mild sports hernia that flares up when I bend forward (like I would need to do with deads, 1 arm rows, etc.). So I'm not sure what exercise to do for the low body EDT's. I used leg press (and will be my primary lift for GLP) so far to get my ...

THanks man. Sorry- I didn't make it clear. I use the smith machine with the "stops" on it. But I would prefer a spotter over hoping that the stops hold, should something bad happen. That's why I've opted for the 2-3 rep max. I do appreciate the concern though- really! I will plan on moving...

I could, but I feel like I have delayed this phase for so many crazy reasons, I'm kind of looking forward to some progress in GLP. Since I also don't have a spotter, it would still be a 2-3 rep max attempt.
What are your thoughts?

Did my MAX workout prior to GLP. Couple notes: Bench- i had a mental lapse, and forgot to add a 10 to both sides. didn't realize it until I had stripped the other side. I could use some help estimating my max for the BP because of this. Chins- i'm finding this to aggravate my mild sports hernia thin...

Nice job man!

You are ahead of me in the phases, so I am actually planning on following a bit of your GLP planning. You are helping me without even knowing it!

Yea man, I hit strep throat/bronchitis 3 weeks ago and still feeling the effects in my upper chest from the bronchitis. Coughing a bit and the stuffy nose doesn't seem to want to go away either. It hit 4 workouts before my feast finished and put me out for a couple weeks an forced me into cruise. J...

Thanks Rob. I was pretty happy with workout #4 also, then not so happy with yesterday's workout... But it's good to hear that you thought it was good too. Thanks for the input on vit C. I usually do 5,000 IU of vit D3 in the winter, but hadn't started it yet this year. Guess I'm starting now. Will t...

Just getting over a nasty virus, so again had to sit through a LONG delay between workouts. At this rate, I will be in FEAST phase for 6 months! Worked out today, and weights were mostly lower than last workout. That's pretty disappointing, but maybe it's because I'm getting over this bug. Could als...

FINALLY!!!! Finally after 16 days... I completed workout #4 of feast!! Back muscle is healed, just getting over a cold, and we are in the new house (no more moving)! I used the pounds from workout #2 as a guide, thinking that the reps were similar, and that I would probably have to use less weight ...
