I hear you on holding the bar, im finding hard due to shoulder and wrist flexibility issues. How high up do you manage to raise your elbows?

[bigbear6708]

I have poor writs/shoulder flexibility too...i can get my upper arms parallell w/ the ground, and holding gets hard when I go into the squat

another game tonight, seriously considering taking tomorrow as an off day, and doing deads wednesday before i head out of town..just to cover the few days ill be gone in case I cannot lift

ill be honest...the last 2 weeks of this program have been killer, i think my body is reaching its limit!!! great program overall tho, im working on a write up.

[bigbear6708]

Yesterday softball stats: 3-3(2 singles, double) 3RBI 1 run scored
Im the new guy so didnt enter the game until the 4th inning.

Today is a complete off day

Tomorrow: deads

I will go from there, unsure how much Ill be able to get to a gym while out of town on this long weekend, so deads before will make up for not being able to while gone...if I can lift, thats even better

I have convinced myself about 75% so far to drop the DE bench and squats on this last time through and do Deads, hvy bench, hvy squat and call the cycle complete. my body is definately feeling the final 2 weeks have its toll, and with my softball and travels throwing the whole cycle off, I may just stop the bleeding and save what I can out of it, taper down a week w/ some DE work then hit a DC blast again before giving this beast another run.

I have slightly lowered my protein intake and upped my carbs as i have been feeling beat up and run down..hopefully my body will produce a little more energy for repair work now.
