WEEK 1 --- DAY 2
Deadlift:
1x9 @ 460lbs

BTN Pull-ups:
5x5 @ BW

Shrugs:
5x4 @ 315lbs

BB Rows:
5x3 @ 225lbs

Here is where I made the change.  Just doing the deadlift with singles.  May also add in speed dead not sure yet.  I just don't see the point of doing 6x6 with the dead, seems like too many sets and reps.  We'll see how this goes.

Yeah I am finding too that doing deads for more than 6 reps takes an awfull lot out of me, plus the form blows toward the end anyways.

I agree with Max. It is a good decision to handle the DL as singles. This lets you focus on form much better. After rep 4 or 5 I just want to lift that weight no matter what in my experience.
Strong lifting!

Thanks, guys.  I started with a little bit higher percentage on the deadlift, since I'm only doing the singes.  I think originally the program has you doing 80% of 1rm working up to 6x6 over 4 or 5 weeks.  I'm starting at 83% and adding about 2% to the bar each week while dropping a rep.

That's the hard part  Cheesy  If I can get my butt out of bed in the mornings, early enough before I have to head out to school and get the kids ready, I plan on doing some cardio on my off days.  Right now though I've just been pretty strict with my diet. Sticking with eggs, tuna, chicken, a few vegetables, 1% milk (I really like milk) and some protein shakes here and there.  I'm pretty carb sensitive so I try to keep those as low as possible, except maybe on my training days.

I really want to make an effort to get my weight down below 200lbs, so we'll see.
