Sorry, I don’t quite understand what you said?? I’d say I lower myself to a count of 5-10 seconds now and I’m able to hold in a static position on way down if I wanted to.. I do about 5-7 negatives with about a minutes rest between each one

Then why can you do a chin up yet? you should be able to now if you can do what you just said.

its usually harder. but just keep upping the frequency and lowering the rest time until you can do one. Honestly I believe you have a mental block on being able to do one.

Dude, you can do a chin-up. I promise. I’ve been through your exact progression and psyched myself out. Tomorrow just go grab the grips and pull. If I’m wrong, I’ll buy you a Big Mac. You probably could have two weeks ago.

sounds good and yea it will help you if you work the program. If you have questions fire away.

they aren't. if you want the other books here

Can I download all that?

I’m reading GSLP right now. I have to say that I’m pretty excited.

Have been Doing this and it’s gettingbme close!

I've been at it for 8 weeks and I'm still getting really good results. My lifts look like this:
Incline: 165x10--> 192.5x8
Press: 120x10--> 142.5x6
Chins: 15x7--> 35x6
Squat: 205x8--> 245x5
DL: 235x9--> 270x7

I'm currently taking a 7 day deload because I haven't missed a workout in 8 weeks and I'm feeling a little worn down + finals.

I'm weighing 180 right now and I'm pretty happy with that. I could either lose a few lbs of fat or put on a few lbs of muscle, but it would probably take some serious commitment with diet that I'm not willing to make right now. I've been doing the chins and pushups too and I think that's helped a lot. I'm currently at 65 chins/day with sets of 5 or 6 and maybe a ladder or two thrown in throughout the day with 170 pushups at 22/set.

My squat isn't progressing a ton, but I've had lower back issues and I'm only in my 20s so I'm not really trying to push it too hard. I lift in my old running shoes, and I'm thinking that I should probably make a transition to some other shoes to give me a more stable base.

I'm getting pretty close to failing on press and want to switch things up possibly. I'm doing the aesthetic program pretty much verbatim, but I've added a set of 20 reps for calves and 2 sets of weighted abs at the end of each workout. I'm considering subbing weighted dips after I miss a rep on press, but I'm thinking that might be a little too much direct chest work. What do y'all think?
