Unilateral Leg Press: first time doing these. felt pretty ok.

Glute Ham Raises: damn.....i tried something stupid while doing these and i got a catch. damn.....i hate that pain.

Diet: im happy

Overall: good workout. i want to say this that i owe EVERYTHING i know and EVERYTHING i have achieved because of my great freind Eric from www.bodybuilding.net im gonna make a proper post about him in a bit. otherwise, workout was good and im happy. Eric's program is going great for me.

ok change of program. well, not change but im gonna be altering a few things.

for the last 6 months, i havent been deadlifting. ive only been improving on the squat and the bench press. but thats gonna change. its time for the squat to go in the back seat. as per my alterations (thanks to Eric but once again - this is MY program with MY choices) im now gonna be maintaining my squat and bench and blasting my deadlift. this will go on for a few months. so the new changes to the program are:

*Overhead Dumbell Side Bends
*Grip Work

*Regular Barbell Rows 2x5-7
*Dumbbell Rows 2x10-12
