Tweaked an old football injury (knee) playing in the father daughter soccer game last night.......may put my progress on hold for a little while. I'm hoping its just a mild sprain.

CissusRx man. Stuff is fantastic.

Get on it. Either a 5% or 10% extract, no higher. Love it...

Never tried it. Similar to glucosamine?

MUCH better!

Stuff goes to work almost immediately. I'm telling you, get on this stuff!!

Hit the deload bench portion of the workout. 250 for 7 reps followed by 90lb barbell pullovers for 80.

I've laid off the leg due to the sprain, but hopefully I'll be able to get the Squat deload in by the end of the week.

So, yes, I've suffered a setback but hopefully after this week I'll be ready to hit the GLP.

Excellent. Good plan, even better attitude

New bench max - 315.

Still having trouble with the knee and have held off on my squat workouts. May need to go into the GLP with an estimated squat max.

Hell yeah!

Congrats on the big six wheels man. So happy for you

Thanks Rob. Going into the GLP this week. Gonna work on increasing the bench from 315.

I'll be going in with an estimated squat Max at 405. Held off on maxing out due to the knee.

Anything I need to remember in the GLP that folks often forget?

Thanks for the advice.

What's the deal with trying to post from bodyspace? Is that a no-no here?

Hmmmm. Not sure on that. We'll have to ask AskMass is this is his board.

Nevertheless, on your question: The two things to keep in mind with GLP1 are as follows;

1.) Managing frequency of your workouts properly and
2.) Don't be concerned if you miss a rep or two here or there.

On point #1, begin with a 1on/1 off workout frequency as in the stickies. If at all in doubt, start with 1on/2off. As you grow stronger, the stresses on your body increase from lifting heavier weights for more reps. It's a fundamental then, that you'll have to insert extra rest days at some point.

This is intuitive but as soon as you see signs of strength slowing down/over-training creeping in... insert the extra rest day. Nothing to lose and EVERYTHING to gain so don't feel bad about it!

Let me know if you need anything. Right here for you

I haven't kept up with posting all the details but I just finished the GLP. My bench went from 315 to 330. Thanks BP!

I about to enter the cruise - weight in the feast went from about 205 to 225.
