I started the week with my bench workout and then my deadlift workout two days later. At this point, I'm just playing around with numbers, weights, reps etc. I'm going to sit down this weekend to actually start planning out my training in four week blocks. I've never done my own programming before. Whenever I was on my own, I just went in and did whatever the hell I felt like doing. If I was doing 10 reps, I made sure it was a ball busting 10 reps. If it was singles, I'd make sure that I felt that weight on my back or in my hands. Is that sustainable for long term growth? Probably not. Time to start figuring things out for myself.
