    Hey guys, Will someone with a good knowledge of west side check out my log and see where I should go from here.

    http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056261023&page=2

    I've made significant gains using the program but I'm pretty much at my max and not sure where to go from here. I havent been following it exactly but its close enough

    Squat 135kg
    Bench 100kg
    Deadlift 170kg

    Also I havent been doing any shoulder work on it so thats a bit of a concern..

    You seem to be hitting PRs nearly every session, whats the problem?

    If it aint broke, don't fix it til it is

    Thanks, Yeah it has been going great in fairness. I just feel I won't get much more out of it, I'll keep going till I get a couple of fails and then go back to the drawing board!

    Ha, I've got that the odd time. Maybe there's some ingested sharp **** shredding up my intestines though.
    It'd mean at least something's getting shredded...

    Oh definitely not 'serious'. But the blood thing has happened the odd time alright.
    I did presume the other guy meant he had blood coming from his hands, haha.

    I actually meant my shin! didnt notice it till I came home and changed out of my tracksuit bottoms. Although I did have blood come out of the base of my nails before.....not a good look!

    WSM day one.

    Looking forward to seeing the results of Group 3. Vytautas, Terry and Martin Wildauer all in one group - it's going to be interesting :)

    I'd say Savickas will destroy his group.
