Stall Warning!!

I don't know if I was tired or what, but this workout seemed to take forever, it felt good to do some work though. Being without a spotter, I am very careful to take the sets to the point where I know that I am about to fail. So far, I have completed all the work sets in each workout, but last night I stalled for the first time. I think I handled it well, though. I merely took 5lbs. off the bar and finished the set. I had to do this for the last two reps of the last work set on both the Squat and the Press. Next workout, I will start with the same weight I started with on this one, and keep doing that until I complete all work sets, then I will continue adding weight, as Rip prescribes.

I scaled way back on the Power Clean to stop fucking around and really get a handle on the proper way to do them. I didn't feel comfortable when I did them last week. I was correct in doing this. I discovered that my traps are not developed enough, therefore, after reading more wisdom from the coach himself, I dropped the ab exercises from my assistance exercises, and added High-pulls. I feel confident about this approach.

Man, I was beat after that. I went straight to bed afterwards, well, after a shower of course. I'm still a little tired. Got a nagging shoulder too, it doesn't hurt when I lift, but it does later. Well, that's enough of me crying, see y'all later.

KEEP ON ROCKIN' IN THE FREE WORLD!!!!!
