Mike, If you haven't run across Nick's article and video on Press programming, here they are: Intermediate Programming for the Upper Body Lifts...

Yes I do Fred. I have 1½ and 1¼ lb plates plus smaller magnetic plates. I have used them both on presses but never on sqts or deadlifts. Sounds like...

You're still young enough to make some massive gains, should you choose. Embrace that as your schedule and goals allow. As you've found out,...

Similar to the ideas above, that's why I really like the 4-day Heavy/Light split outlined in BBRx. It's the same lifts on the same day each week,...

Welcome back, Brad. The best part of re-running NLP is that you already know much more than you did the first time, including how much you are...

Thanks for your input Lou. I have used creatine, and may give another shot. I also use beta alaline, seemed to help.

Not going heavy on all lifts every time you lift may be the way to go. Maybe something like you go heavy on sqts go lighter on the DL. Next week...

Thanks Fred, they are supposed to be harder, no stress reflex. I did all the reps from a dead stop.Just trying different things to keep me motivated.

It was, J. Too much had I planned on rolling right along with consistent training. But since I was going to be on a break, it was OK. More than...

The light sqts sound like a good idea. I've done that to avoid soreness, but did them as a warm-up before DLs.

Thanks for the advice guys.! I really need to pay more attention to when and what eat. I'm trying to keep my weight between 195 and 198. I just...

I wonder why they wouldn't post. Possibly because it wasn't a question? In any case it sure shows that it's not impossible to make some improvements...

Do you get extra sore after not squatting for after a long break?

Sure makes sense that we can't go full bore every workout. Cycling the load seems to be the way to go.
