    Wow awesome job not giving up on this! Fuk yeah! That got me psyched up!

    I'm bookmarking this sh!t next to Woody's 500 pull + 300 bench vid as pure motivation

    My Macenko summary -

    Recent max before starting: 315
    Training max: 310


    Everything was going well on Macenko into the 3rd and 4th weeks. That was when I started getting health issues - a small cold first, and then elbow pain from squatting, and then another small cold. Each of these set me back. I ended up repeating almost 2 weeks' worth of Macenko workouts and never caught up to the progression of the program. By the last workout, I was close to, if not back at, my recent max, but certainly not stronger than that.

    In conclusion, Macenko was a wash. Of course, that had everything to do with my issues and not with the program, so I can't say that it doesn't work for me. I will likely run it again in the future, but with the following conditions:

    * Start at least 10-15 lbs below a recent max or estimated max.
    * Run in the summer when there's less chance of getting sick.
    * Limit or eliminate any upper body pressing work - OHP, CGBP, dips, etc.
    * (Possibly) limit the volume work up to the top work set.

    Anecdotally, the program seems to work well. Most of the guys here made gains and my training partner - who ran it with me - got 20 lbs and a PR out of it
