    Don't let that **** get to ya man. I was the same way for there a bit, and the weight I was using just constantly caused me stress. You'll work through it, and be back to ya big ass swole self soon. No worries man.

    I know what that's like, I took about 7 months off from 2003-2004. I came back and couldn't lift sh**. I was completely back to being a scrawny little twig again (I still can't lift sh**) - but I'm a hell of a lot stronger than I ever was before I took that break. Don't worry man, like lilmase said, keep on truckin'. It comes back faster than you think.

    Yep Nic, I'm going to have to catch you one of these days. I was up to BW + 75lbs for 5 dips, but this new split has me at a much lower weight. Your dip strength is insane bro. Just more motivation for me lol.

    ugh, i just keeep going back out. I got off work yesterday at like 3 15, then i shovelled for a couple hours. Had maybe 2 hours or less off and started again for a few hours. Then got off for maybe 45 minutes and went back at it till about 10. Then went to my room and crashed. Then got called back up this morning and had to get up at 430 and go for another couple hours. Now im off aghain and waiting in the lounge to see if its secured for a couple hours. If i can get a few hours off today ill go to the gym for my lower.

    Btw, i did fall about 5 times in the last 24 hours ryu.

    My goals for this routine is to gain a good 30 lbs. Id also like to improve my dead to the mid 400s. I prefer dips, as a chest excercise, but i am also going to work on my bench because i think i have the potential to be a pretty good bencher.
