Day 26 - fri 7/3/2010



squat 5x5 (175 top set)
incline bench 5x5 (115 top set)

how does alcohol and marijuana adversely effect muscle gains?

I know, what i am asking is are you suppose to do warmup sets before u do the 5 sets, like how u would in rippetoe's before u do the 3 sets of 5

when you lower the bar...should the bar be above..on..or below the nipples?

Do u only do 5 sets with no warmup sets? For rippetoe, we will do warmup sets before we actually do the 3x5..is it the same approach with 5x5, or do we just do the 5 sets?

i am pretty skinny..lean..but i have chubby cheeks and a fat neck ...i really want to get rid of them...i eat healthy and i exercise regularly....i have a 6-pack......any tips plz
