did front squats today - with the clean grip I was doing it wrong cause it was loading up my wrists, was much more manageable with arms crossed, but I think I might have had the bar sitting too far forward on the delts. Did manage to get 5x100 out though.

I'm assuming that's 55% of your 1RM, which you'd have a loose idea of.

I like my exercise to be very simple so to me that's a bit too involved.

I'm also not keen on splits where if you miss one day for whatever reason you miss that work for a week - but I realise splitting allows greater targeting and emphasis which is great for those with a specific goal.

I'd have a thought a full body workout x times a week would be fine for you Leesh, as you seem to want general fitness, well being, and some nice aesthetics. OR are you now looking to be a fitness model or something?

Mitch beat me too it, just times anything you need by the percentage number with a decimal in front of it.

That chick is too muscular IMO, but if that's your goal then a split routine will likely be a must, as will excellent diet.

You can do it!

Thats your speed day and your meant to be moving the weight explosively to train the muscle fibres and neural system, its not to try and build muscle.

Do a bit of background reading on louie simmons westside method and itll help explain the ideas behind each day

    • Let large companies that are making money off selling kits do the preliminary engineering for you. If they all do -10, then that is all you'll ever need. 
    • Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.
    • At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!
    • Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.
    • Thanks GTSBoy, i will do abit more digging. I am missing a blue relay near the ECU connector... so i will chase that up in the next few days as well
